Rating 68.0

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.

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!

Try it out

Getting back into golf after a 20 year hiatus is something, but this course is very open and very clean. It is a very fun course, I have played 3 times since writing this review. The staff are friendly, the golfers are friendly and nice, and lets be real we all get frustrated when we have a bad shot. But that's golf and my time so far has been fantastic. I am meeting more golfers and I am actually having fun regardless if my nickname is Bogey Bean.

If I had to fix one thing at this course it would be to upgrade the bathrooms. Have better locks on the stall doors, maybe some new flooring and tiles. But overall I would recommend this coarse to everyone.

Hot day

The tee boxes , fairways and greens were all in decent enough shape. Not enough rain lately nor watering so tee boxes were hard as a rock . A bit slow pace of play on the first 9 but better on the back. Nice to have a starter there but should space out tee times to every 10 minutes on the weekend for your average Joe. A few collars around the greens suffering. Hoping some rain and cooler weather will return the course to its usual good condition. No hot dogs at the turn ready.

Good for the money

9th hole closed on one of the 9's. Green just in good condition, not very good. Tee boxes flat, good shape, not very good. To play all 27 holes, the 19-27 holes is only 8 bucks with cart. A deal!

Course has made vast improvements since I last played it 6 years ago. Fairways and greens were in good condition. Only issue I had were the bunkers. Sand was very compact. Overall nice course.

Greens needed blown off, bunkers were not maintained which is a bad sign. They had a ton of footprints and have not been raked in a while.

First time

First time playing this course. Staff was friendly and informative. Pace of play was great for us. We were able to take our time to ride up the cart paths and check out some of the fairways before teeing off. Not usually afforded this at most courses. Marshal was friendly. Couldn’t have ask for a better experience. Look forward to the next visit.
