The Hollows Golf Club - Cottage/Road
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Some holes are....
Decent course--27 holes, so you'll get some variety whenever you play. Course layout isn't bad-- but some holes are very easy and some are overly challenging for a senior-- few 'in between' . Price is appropriate so far.
Good Value
The Hollows provides a great layout at a great price.
Fairway and rough Conditions improve with the weather and in Summer the greens are well above average. It can be slow pace but enjoy the outdoors and take a deep breath. Great value
No Marshall help available on course…
There was a threesome in front of us obviously impaired and each playing 2-3 balls per/person on most holes. We tried multiple times to call the pro shop but got no answer.
It took nearly 2 hrs 45 min to play 9 holes behind these idiots.
Typically most players here are courteous, and demonstrate good golf etiquette… but when there’s a problem group on the course… there needs to be some recourse available from the course management.
Great course for price
$45 on a Saturday. Carts have ball and club washer. Course layout is a tad confusing at times, drove past the tee boxes on a couple holes. No cart service. But overall a great course.
Tee Time process
When I called the pro shop to register for a TT no one was available. I my call rolled in to a National call center that then took my TT. I had to change the TT on two occasions trying to coordinate with my playing partners. I was told my cancellations went through okay but found out a few days later I was charged for a TT I cancelled. I spoke with Alfonso in the pro shop and he said he would look into the charge and get back with me. HE NEVER DID.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting The Hollows Golf Club - Lake/Cottage, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Good moderate difficulty course
Good pace of play. Easy to keep track of your golf ball.
Great course
3 9 hole courses offers something for every golfer! Staff is very friendly as the course is well maintained! Still challenging yet unobtrusive! Enjoyed it so much actually got a membership!
Cheap, easy course to play
The Hollows is a cheap course that allows you to play at your convenience. (No dress code) However, with such lax course rules and low price it brings in players with very poor etiquette. When busy, the pace of play is almost unplayable. You wait so long you forget how to play golf by the time its your turn. The course is generally in good condition for what it is, but the course is rather hard to play as the ground is extremely hard.
Thank you for reviewing the course. We would like to apologize for your recent experience.
We're sorry to hear you were less than satisfied during your round. We pride ourselves on our providing great service and the high-quality standards we maintain.
We would like to make things right. Please reach out to our management team at the pro shop.
We hope to hear from you soon.
Enjoyed the course.
Enjoyed the course and will be back to play more this year. Scored a 94 so looking forwards to lowering that score to the 80s.
Could be so much better
The course is in great shape for the price...
Three 9 he course all different to really test your skills.
I will say the bathroom is always nasty
The weekend tee times just plan to start late and take 5 hours plus to play. You would think with 3-9 hole courses you could control tee times a bit better.
Good course, great value
I thought the course was in good shape for the middle of winter and considering there was about an inch of rain on Friday.
It’s got to be one of the best values in the area. $33 for weekend hot deal after the GolfNow fee.
Fun course and for the most part open and forgiving.
Nice golf course
I had played the Hollows off and on since it opened in 1996 and I have always found it to be in good to very good condition, and they have a very nice restaurant if you choose to use it before or after your play, the staff has always been very friendly and as i have become older and disabled the senior tees are a still challenging but fun course to get out and play, it is very reasonably priced and it is my understanding that new carts are on the way soon, also having 3 set of nines it offers a change up for you as well, i am very thankful that it is here in my home area and look forward to playing in 2022
Good Course
I've been playing the Hollows for close to 40 years and keep coming back a couple times a year. My only problem with the course is that the tee markers are very hard to find the color. Maybe if they were totally painted the color instead of just a thin line they'd be easier to determine. Otherwise, the course is a fun, challenging course.
For the price unbelievable
When you can play a course for 20 to 30 bucks and get through 18 in under 4 hours on a Saturday.This is a must play course 3-9 hole course to challenge everyone. It's always in great shape greens can be rough at times and sometimes it's the green keepers can be mad and put the pin position is the worse spots....
