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 price

The price was great for 9 holes w a cart. Easy to get a tee time. Played Cottage course and in terrible condition. No grass all weeds. 4 out of 9 greens were decent. Course has good signage to get you from hole to hole.

Cottage course

The Cottage course was very dry, no grass only weeds. Carts paths you need 4 wheeler not golf cart. Pace of play was very good. Some greens were very nice and others in poor condition.

Nice layout

Really fun course, my wish is the GolfNow would mark if greens have been aerated. Of the 3 9’s two were aerated with one nine done the beginning of last week.

Not a good day

The front 9 wasnt bad, but then we hit every known walker in the game, which means they teed off the same as the rest of us. Wish they wouldve staggered us through play. Meaning first 4 groups take cottage, next 4 take road... with the spread out of groups, you shouldnt overlap another one. This is the only day I have had an issue with pace and because of it i couldnt finish the round, my group and I left on hole 13.

Awesome environment

I absolutely love this course. I play 1 to 2 times a week and this is the only course I play. Single players are welcome because you get paired up and other players are kind.

Just awful

Club house is old and dingy, extremely outdated and dirty bathrooms. No cart girl on a day where their parking lot is 3/4 full. Bar service is slow. Cart path is filled with holes and water even when it hasn’t rained in almost a week. Would think there would be some sort of pavement, but no it’s just mud and rocks. Ground was extremely dry and hard in certain areas and terribly muddy and soggy in others. Had drives right in the middle of the fairway and my lie was a mound of dry dirt. Golf carts are on their last wind and stall out all the time too. Just not enjoyable. Booked through golf now where it states if you book 18 you are free to play all three 9 hole courses. Image is attached. Was confronted by the guy in pro shop and told that the wording “may have been misleading” and he had “never seen such a thing” and that I would need to pay for another nine if I wanted to play the last 9 hole course. DONT POST SOMETHING IN YOUR DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE AND ACT LIKE IM FREELOADING! DO BETTER BUSINESS AND ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR MISTAKE! There is also always some part of this course closed. This time it was the driving range, last time it was the last hole of the lake course. I would at the least say this place would be a cheap place to hit balls, but they don’t even have a driving range open. Overall terrible course, terrible management and won’t get my business again. Seems like they need it as the conditions are so awful and wanted me to pay for the last 9 holes that is clearly stated are included. Even says 27 holes in the description as well.

Would do it again

Played the Hollows for the first time 8/6/24. Liked the open layout of both the Cottage and Road courses. The fairways were a bit spotty with weeds and bare spots but not too bad. Greens were a bit beat up from players not repairing ball marks. The sand traps ( which I visited a lot) were very nice with fluffy sand, not the hard pan I have been used to. Very enjoyable round and a good value at $31 for 18 and cart. Went on line at golf pass.com- for the deal. Would return to play the next time I’m in the area. Highly Recommend.

Enjoyed the round

We were on vacation and looked for a place to play golf. Golf now suggested the Hollows. A 27 hole layout, a golfer friendly open layout. They had some of the best bunkers I have had to play out of. Greens were though bet receptive but a challenge. Fairways were well marked but could use a bit more grass. A very enjoyable round and would play again the next time we are in the area!
