About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 70
Length 5969 yards
Slope 112
Rating 67.9

Located in Montpelier, Hollows Golf Club has a 27-hole layout that is considered one of the best values in the area. The holes are divided into three nines that provide three different 18-hole combinations. The Cottage, Lake, and Road nines come with enough variety to offer something for players of all skill levels from low handicappers to more experienced players. The green fees are applicable the whole day, which allows golfers to play all three courses if they have the time and the inclination. The Cottage/Road combination only has water on one hole, but it is a memorable one. The hole is Cottage's par 3 third, which is the golf course's signature. There is not only a formidable pond along the right but also an 8-foot bunker on the left. In addition to the golf courses, the Hollows also has an all-grass driving range and putting green.

The greens have some fungus. Other than that, the course is in great condition.

Marty

Fairways were fine, greens need a lot of work bare spots from fungus, no true putting. Should shut down one nine and get greens back in shape

Loved this course

The fairways and tee boxes were great. The greens had a few spots that were not great, but much better than other courses this year. I loved it for my short game.

No value.

I won’t go into a long rant about this place. It’s just not good value. Greens had something wrong with them, but there was not a discount for having to play them. Pace of play was great on the front 9 and took three times as long on the back 9. Food reminded me of middle school. Coolers empty. Carts barely worked. Don’t spend the money here unless they fix their ish. Lots of better courses to play.

Nothing to complain or delight about.

Average track, decent for the money. Greens a little dry but I'd return.

Played course 100 times before

Worse condition I've ever seen. Fairways need water bad

Greens need aeration quick or they will be gone

My asphalt driveway is easier to put tee into than tee boxes here

It changed shape quickly in last few months

Hit a bottleneck

Pace of play was fantastic on our first nine, but then we hit a bottleneck on the second nine due to eight kids deciding they were going to pair up and play together. The clubhouse was notified and they split up, but then paired up again. Our first nine probably took 1.5 hours while our second nine took about 2.5. Overall a four hour round, but a ton of sitting around waiting during the second nine.

Conditions were "meh" at best. The fairways were okay, but the greens were very spotty. Some were 75% dead. All of them were rock hard, making it very difficult to get a chip to not run off the back of the green.

The Hollows

Great course layout. Fairways in top condition. Greens had some dead spots but rolled true.

Fun day!

Greens were badly burnt

Really friendly staff, but the greens were in rough shape. One joke was not functional. Disappointing.
