Rating 67.7

Hollows Golf Club boasts three unique nines that are played in different 18-hole combinations. Conveniently, the greens fees are applicable all day, which gives you the opportunity to try out all three. The nines: Cottage, Lake, and Road, are varied enough to appeal to a wide range of skill levels. The Lake/Cottage combination features the most water of the three golf courses. The Lake nine wraps around a massive lake, the centerpiece of the 27-hole course. There are also a few small ponds that come into play on the front nine. The Cottage nine only has water on the third hole but this tough par 3 leaves a lasting impression. It is the Cottage's signature hole that not only features water but also an 8-foot deep bunker on the left.

Great value!

Courses are in great shape given the amount of play.

Great place to work on game.

Driving range, not so much.

Very good golf course.

I’ve been going to The Hollows Golf Course for 3 years about every week when the weather is good. I’m not a great Golfer but I enjoy it. In my opinion, this course is very forgiving.

Fun, challenging, unpretentious

Hollows won’t be mentioned in lists of great Virginia courses, but it’s a solid affordable option but golfers aren’t too uptight about perfect conditions. Easy to book on Golfnow, easy to check in online, fun holes and a good little bar for libations. That all most of us want!

Road Course

We only played the first nine (road course). The fairways and greens were in great shape. The greens rolled true. The sand bunkers were also well maintained. The course is pretty forgiving so it gives you some room for an errant drive.
