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.

GREAT FOR WHAT PAY FOR

The Hollows has become a regular in my rotation of places to play around Richmond. For what you pay, cant beat it for my money. Sure there are nicer amenities, and nicer carts, and practice facilities. But for the $41 I paid for a 9:30 tee time on Sunday, worth it.

I've played all three 9's at the Hollows. 12/5, we played cottage to lake. Course was in great shape for early December. Very often is in top condition.

My only complaints would be. I have yet to play there when there had been food other than bars and chips available at the turn. And the person picking pin placement must often get in fights with their spouse. more times than not, there are a few impossible pin locations.

Other than that, I suspect The hollows will continue to be a weekend warrior destination for me.

Going Downhill!!

I have played this course several times over the past 5 years but this was the worst I've ever seen it! First of all, it shouldn't be hard to find a decent cart with a windshield! There were none! Then it took over 4 1/2 hours to play because there was never a marshal on the course! It will be a while before I ever return!

Slow and no reason for CPO

No reason for greens to be so furry and slow, could’ve been cut lower, not wet and no chance of burnout. Great job of drainage since I last played here. That being said, cart path only was very unnecessary with almost no wet areas on the fairways, 90 deg and avoid the few wet areas. Decent course, 3 nines, played Lake to Cottage. Harder than they look especially with 20 mph winds. Blue tees rank short but don’t play that way with 500+ yd par 5s and the shortest par 3 at 170yds, 2 at 185 and one over 200. Restaurant/bar always was good, did not stop in this time. Range was closed. Lot of good work but…

Pretty Course - Pace of Play an Issue

We love the layout of The Hollows and it has been one of our favorite courses to play. However, pace of play is often an issue and was on Saturday. It took 5 1/2 hours to play 18 holes, which is not fun. As often happens, players move around on the course and you end up with people in front and/or behind that did not start there.

The course is in good shape and the greens are excellent. I wish there was a solution to the undisciplined conditions that are present more often than not.

Dont play on Friday

Poor experience compared to what I am familiar with at this course. The range was closed because the personnel that worked there couldn't be bothered to collect the range balls. Then the first tee was backed up and 20 minutes late and people were playing as a group of seven. Front nine took 2 hours and 20 minutes when we can usually play in under two hours. Skipped three holes on the back since the groups out there were so slow and had no idea what they were doing. They had two open holes in front of them but were in no hurry. Need to have someone out as a ranger to move people along so their day is not ruined with such slow play.

Hidden Gem?

My playing partner and I played Hollows GC for the first time. This course is deep in the countryside, and that adds to the charm. It features three 9-hole courses making it a great destination to play 18, Have a quick lunch and play another nine. It was HOT!…104 degree heat index with full sun and NO breeze. So, for someone my age, that made it a little less enjoyable. However, the course was in good shape and although some fairways give you the appearance of being very narrow, they actually have some wide landing areas. Challenging, but fair. We thoroughly enjoyed the round and look forward to returning when the weather is a little cooler.

One of the best golf courses in Virginia!

My brother and I play at this course frequently because it is one of our favorite courses in the state of Virginia to play at! We love this course it is well-maintained the fairways are like carpet, the greens are immaculate! Andy, the owner of this course takes pride in making sure this course is in top-notch condition! Every time we play here we see him on the course doing maintenance to make sure it is kept up. In addition to Andy being so amazing and managing an awesome course, his golf pro Jimmy is awesome! If you need lessons he is who you need to see! He loves what he does and it shows because he is very passionate about giving lessons and seeing the results in his customers! I also wanted to Bob in The golf shop and Jerry…. they are amazing And always always giving the best customer service ever…… Let’s entire team and golf course is the best of the best of the very best! Thank you all so much for being so wonderful! We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Great day in the heat

Course in great shape considering all the rain, heat and dry conditions the past month. Tee boxes , fairways and greens all in great shape. Crabgrass being killed off around the green due to the heat and dry weather last month so glad they are being proactive. Great pace of play, only 3:43 minutes to play 18.
