The Hollows Golf Club - Lake/Road
About
Hollows Golf Club is situated in historic Hanover County, birthplace of Patrick Henry. The club boasts 27 holes of championship golf that are considered the best value in the area since the greens fess are good for the whole day, allowing you to try every hole if you wanted to. The holes are divided into three nines: Cottage, Lake, and Road, that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The unique layouts of all three offer enough variety to appeal to players of all skill levels. The Lake/Road combination naturally features plenty of water on the front nine. The Lake nine is routed around a large lake as well as a few small ponds. The back nine, Road, is the longest of the three nines, but only by about 100 yards. There is no water but there are some tricky doglegs and strategically placed bunkers.

Played cottage/lake, nice layout, course was busy (Sunday) , but still played 4 hr round, 1st time playing the course, will play again, and recommend
Great course
I play this course all the time 3 9 hole course keep the pace of play. The course is in decent shape same as the greens but for the price yiu can't beat it. Golf now membership 10% discount with a hot deal and play on a Saturday for 25bucks I will take that any day. Go play have a drink and enjoy the day loose a ball and don't care at the end of the day your golfing.
Hidden Gem?
My playing partner and I played Hollows GC for the first time. This course is deep in the countryside, and that adds to the charm. It features three 9-hole courses making it a great destination to play 18, Have a quick lunch and play another nine. It was HOT!…104 degree heat index with full sun and NO breeze. So, for someone my age, that made it a little less enjoyable. However, the course was in good shape and although some fairways give you the appearance of being very narrow, they actually have some wide landing areas. Challenging, but fair. We thoroughly enjoyed the round and look forward to returning when the weather is a little cooler.
One of the best golf courses in Virginia!
My brother and I play at this course frequently because it is one of our favorite courses in the state of Virginia to play at! We love this course it is well-maintained the fairways are like carpet, the greens are immaculate! Andy, the owner of this course takes pride in making sure this course is in top-notch condition! Every time we play here we see him on the course doing maintenance to make sure it is kept up. In addition to Andy being so amazing and managing an awesome course, his golf pro Jimmy is awesome! If you need lessons he is who you need to see! He loves what he does and it shows because he is very passionate about giving lessons and seeing the results in his customers! I also wanted to Bob in The golf shop and Jerry…. they are amazing And always always giving the best customer service ever…… Let’s entire team and golf course is the best of the best of the very best! Thank you all so much for being so wonderful! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Great day in the heat
Course in great shape considering all the rain, heat and dry conditions the past month. Tee boxes , fairways and greens all in great shape. Crabgrass being killed off around the green due to the heat and dry weather last month so glad they are being proactive. Great pace of play, only 3:43 minutes to play 18.

Average
The conditions of the course were great overall but the tee boxes were as hard as bricks!
Great value - greens were in good shape
But fairways and tee boxes were rock hard with mostly dead grass. Very short and forgiving course, but with some sloped fairways and dog legs that add a little strategy into the mix.
Nice course, great value
Had a great time, the course was great. Can't wait to go back!
