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.

Good on a rainy day
Enjoyed the course, shorter course, plays well for people who are confident from the tee.
Terrible course
Course was in terrible shape, carts were dirty, and greens were in bad shape. Pace of play was the worse I have ever seen. Too many players on course.
Nice Lil course!
Looking forward to the summer when the course is in better shape!
Good course set up for new to the game golfers.
Overall for this time of the year, the course was in good shape.
This course is very fun
Went and played with a buddy of mine yesterday and it was a lot of fun. The fairways were in great shape along with the greens with the exception of a few. The pace of play was great, no one slow in front of us. Really well kept 27 hole course. I wish I was able to play one of them called “Lake” but it’s been closed every time I go there. Overall great and fun course. Also it’s a short course which makes it fun.
Always a good time
This course is extremely easy, short and wide, birdies and pars one after the other with multiple drivable par 4’s. It’s my favorite hot deal without a doubt. Haven’t had “Lake” the third 9 open the past 3-4 times i’ve been here but that’s just winter wetness. Wasn’t happy to pass 5-6 cooler cages without water, was dying of thirst the whole round but nonetheless is always a good time.
Great day
Staff moved me to Lake rather than Road. Was able to play in 3 1/2 hours . Everyone having a fun time. Greens and tee boxes in great shape. A bit wet in spots due to all the rain and short daylight hours but expected this time of year and all courses here. Played well thanks to the awesome pace of play.
Good time
Other than one incredibly slow foursome on front of us (who we passed), it was a very good day.
Absolutely Poor Experience - Needs a LOT of work!
My wife and I (60's) play many different courses all within an hour of Richmond. We shoot in the low 90;s. We had not played The Hollows in 2 1/2 years and always liked the place very much. Today, guy at the desk when we checked in was rude, and a real wise a... Never really experienced that elsewhere. He could learn some manners and Customer Service Skills. The course was in extremely poor conditions - mud almost everywhere, poor drainage, and leaves in MASS very wide near the fairways in many many areas. Balls easily lost, and we talked to another player there who felt the same way. Saw no staff out working the course to blow all these leaves elsewhere, and working and making efforts. Kinda is what it is.. # 9 on Lake 9 is a prime example. We were also told at the beginning once there that 11 of the holes would be cart path only. Saw the carts at the beginning, and lack of care is seen there too - all carts are visibly dingy/dirty. Save your money and play a course that cares and has good staff. This place not recommended.
Hello, Joey. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for your experience during your round. Please know that this is by no means the standard we strive to achieve.

Wasted potential
Second time I’ve played here. Both times the course was in great condition minus some severe drainage issues on a few of the holes. My main complaint is the overall rudeness of the staff. Both times I came no one was very outgoing or friendly and the person who we checked in with was outright rude, it honestly ruined the day. Also one water cooler had water in it and the rest were bone dry... I get it if COVID makes you not want to fill them but then why would one be full and not the rest? One last thing is how come Lake is always closed? Both times I’ve been there and the few times my dad has played there we’ve never been able to play lake. It looks to be the prettiest of the three and one of the more fun nines yet it’s never open. Big letdown

Greens were in fair conditions, It was cart path only today it was wet and very muddy on some of the cart paths. Course could use some attention on the cart paths. Fairways were good. We did notice a large tree laying in cart path on hole 1 on the road course. (Been there for a while) Carts are very dirty and haven’t been cleaned up in a while and could be much cleaner in my opinion . Overall we had a good day.

A few of the greens weren't in the best of shape but had been aerated a week or so ago. The fairways and rough were in great shape. My playing partners enjoyed themselves. We played the Lake course then over to the Cottage to finish up. We booked our reservation through Golf Now/Pass which gave us a really good deal plus the tee time we wanted. The staff is always friendly and professional. Great job.
