Type Semi-Private

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.

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.

Great value - greens were in good shape

But fairways and tee boxes were rock hard with mostly dead grass. Very short and forgiving course, but with some sloped fairways and dog legs that add a little strategy into the mix.

Nice Course

Very nice golf course.

But found out there statement of "the greens fee being good all day, so feel free to try them all" is incorrect!! If you want to play the other nine there is a fee involved. That is a VERY deceitful statement!! That is the reason I only gave them 3 stars.

I would recommend the course, but I would definitely let them know the fee is only for 18 holes!!!!

Good course, needs some improvements

The course is in good condition given the hot weather. Large patches of blooming clover in the rough that should be eradicated. Makes it very difficult to find your strayed shot, if you find it at all. Slows down the pace of play so surprised it was so prevalent. Greens: in good shape but inconsistent speed wise; most were much slower speed than practice green which was fast. Just makes for a frustrating putting day.
