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.

Much improved

I have been going to the hollows for 16 years although I do not play the course more than 5 or 6 times per year it has come a long way. The course over the last three or four years have greatly improved the fairways and greens they have never been as good and the turf conditions are excellent.The pro shop staff has not changed over the years they are still very indifferent to the golfing customer.They seem to not want to be there but I could be wrong. I would give the hollows a try you will like the turf conditions This is coming from from the perspective of a pga professional who has been in the golf industry for 40 years working at the best private golf courses in the the northeast.

Course conditions bad

The front 9 called the Cottage was in horrible shape. Looked like the fairways had not been cut for a while. Back 9 was better.

Great course the price.

We ended up getting the 9:56 hot deal and it looked like there was a tournament that was played earlier in the morning but you really couldn’t tell other than the parking lot was packed but we ended up finishing in just under four hours. The greens looked great, a little slow but the conditions were great.

The only complaint I have is something the course cannot control and I understand that. But my friend and I got paired with someone that quite frankly didn’t vibe with us. He was very unaware of how we played and very socially awkward. I’m not blaming the course but I wish there was a way to maybe next time just split us up in a pair when you four people and two of those people don’t know anyone.

Awful Course

Very poorly cared for. Fairways and tee boxes are rock hard. Bunkers are gravel pits. Green are decent, but that’s relative to the fact that the rest of the course is so poorly maintained. Staff is unfriendly and seem to hate being there. This place attracts the lower class clientele with no etiquette.

Hollows has improved

Pace of play was a little slow at times, but the course has been improving and has fixed major drainage issues of the past. We went after a rain and the fairways were all dry on Road and Lake.

Great course for the price

The Hollows is a great course if you don’t wanna break the bank for a round of golf. The price is good especially for a Hot Deal on golf now (like $30), but there’s a couple things to note.

- Gravel/dirt cart paths (avoid going here after it rains or you’ll be in for a muddy mess)

- No cart girl

- No restaurant or “grill” (that I was aware of)

- No ball cleaners or club cleaning stations

- Driving range is in pretty rough shape — it’s more of a warm up range

Good Value but they could improve by

No ball washers at any hole. No drink cart or wayer available on the course. No maps of each hole at the tees. Adding all of the above could greatly speed up the pace. 4.5 hours for 18 holes
