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 Hollows

We had a good time playing the course, the greens need a little work and the bunkers where hard as rocks. We still enjoyed ourselves and will return again.

Great course

We play at the Hollows every Saturday. Course is in good condition, greens could be better if golfers would fix their divots. Other than that great place to play.

Conditions Improving

My wife and I had a pleasant Sunday afternoon round and completed play in less than 4 four hours. Management continues to rehabilitate fairways on the "Road" nine, with the first hole under work and playing as a temporary 80-yard par 3. Recent holes that have been worked on have very nice Bermuda fairways. Some fairways on the Cottage nine are uneven and a bit rough. The greens are tricky on some holes with significant slope and multiple levels, but the ball rolls consistently. The rough will penalize you with crabgrass. It's a decent option that I play once or twice a year.

Nice option if local

I live about 45 minutes away from Hunting Hawk and have played there in many tournaments. I have enjoyed my time and the course has a nice layout. Due to drive I would not visit here often but if chance arises I would visit for another round.

Hollows Aug ‘22

Staff is great. Laid back atmosphere. Greens in good shape and roll true but slow. Fairways are narrow on a couple holes but in decent shape. Due to type of grass the fairways tend to get thin in spots. Pace was slow on a hot Sunday but is usually better. Not in a subdivision, which is a nice plus.

Great public course for a public price

The Hollows is one of my favorite golf courses in the area. It has a good layout paired with good maintenance. The only bad thing you could say about this course is the poor drainage in some places,, which they’re well aware of. I played the entire round only losing one ball, which somehow got lost in the rough on Cottage #9 left side of the fairway. If you found my AVX be nice to it. With how short the course is it’s a great place to go low, broke 80 for the first time here and won’t stop coming back anytime soon!
