The Hollows Golf Club - Lake/Road
Rating Snapshot
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.

Grow the game I guess
On a Sunday afternoon it’s great if you get out and have a good time. The Hollows is pretty casual, usually in a good way. Last week there were a few people mistaking the course for a tailgate. Someone brought a very loud NICE SHOT novelty speaker and was spamming the button over and over, oblivious to the nearby teebox or other players. Maybe put up a sign in the pro shop to at least consider some kind of basic etiquette.
Great course!
Great course for the price! Nice open fairways and found a ton of balls!
For the Average Golfer
Overall, the course was in good shape and was a fair value for the green / cart fee. That said, the layout of the course leaves a bit to be desired. On at least one of the holes, it was difficult to determine where the flag was for the hole we were playing. That is because there were two greens adjacent to o0ne another and the fairways connected in front of the greens!
The price don't match the greens
The Hollows are always mid tier expensive. I normally see them from $60-$90. I caught a break and got it for $47 On a Sunday. To their credit, they are an older course so I wasn't expecting for it to be super modern Some older courses have good charm, which makes a decent playing experience. The tea boxes were OK at best. I found certain holes had very hard dirt making it difficult to push your tee down properly. I counted six holes with that problem. The fairways were just fine And they were really fast, which I don't see a lot of in Virginia. The biggest problem are the greens Which were very unkept. Even after long season Green shouldn't look like that. Dogwood trace is a public course and their greens are almost always immaculate for $20-$30 less in price. Overall, I thought it was a ok course. If I caught a deal, I'd play it again so I can try to play the Lake 9. The staff was nice And I must say the hotdog was excellent. I wish I would've got two
Wet
Wet. Mud. Not mowed. Yes it rained a lot
No marshalls and slow play. Seems always slow
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.
