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.

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.

Perfect Day and Great Conditions

The course is in very good condition with the greens well maintained as well as the fairways . The rough is fair with some challenge but not too punitive. Traps could use more sand in them is the only area for improvement. Always friendly staff and nice people golfing there.

Good course rest of facilities need work

Course was in pretty good shape and pace was good on a perfect day for golfing. Bathrooms were not acceptable and the cart was in need of repairs. Several times it wouldn’t start until we turned it on and off or switched it into reverse

Good Value

Very friendly staff. Course not really Difficult but greens were the most challenging as there were few straight puitts. Teen boxes very hard as weather had been dry. Would certainly recommend course.

Great value. Easy to get tee time

Played this course for many years. The lake 9 is the most interesting layout. The greens are solid for a public course. Glad we have this course in the area. Course has quiet peaceful surroundings.

Nice Day at The Hollows

We played the Cottage and Lakes nines with another couple that booked through GolfNow. The course is in better condition than 2-3 years ago, when multiple greens and fairways were under renovation. Fairways are in good shape, but the rough could use more attention. Greens are tricky, and hard with the recent dry weather. I landed a 175-yard tee shot 1 foot behind a middle pin on #8 of the Lakes, but the ball bounced off the green and I made bogey.

The Hollows

This was my first time at the course and I founded it to be a nice course. nice little driving range. It was crowded

so the play was a little slow but still enjoyable. Looking forwards to my next time . I shot a 94 so I look forwards to beating that score the next time.

Terrible Course

This is nothing but a backyard course. The fairways were ok at best. Off the fairways were horrible. Foot high clover and nothing but weeds and dirt. The greens had different types of grass that was not the same height in same cases.

Save your money. NOT worth half of what they charge.

Can’t believe it stays in business. The worst course I’ve ever played.

Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. Thank you for playing The Hollows Golf Club - Lake/Cottage. We hope to see you again soon.

Hollows are on point

Even though the course aerated the greens 2 weeks ago, the majority of greens putted true and had a good feel to them. Only two holes were cart path only due to water retention, but the overall cut and thickness of fairways were conducive to great rolls and lays. Staff was awesome.
