About

Holes 18
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.

Fun day

I would recommend this course for an enjoyable not overly difficult round of golf. Greens were in great shape for holding a shot and putting. Fairways and rough were in very good condition and the right height.

Great course for the money

This course is a great hot deal, but the rough is always way too long, easy way to lose your ball without using trees! Would definitely recommended, very drivable course and will be returning soon

Great value course

Played this course as a hot deal for my first time and had a ton of fun. The rough was a little wild but it’s been raining pretty consistently for the past few weeks so can’t be too upset there. Super fun par 3 on the cottage 9, tee off over the pond to the green. Greens were slow but well kept. Will definitely be playing this course again in the future.

AWESOME Greens!!

Course was in great shape, one par 4 is temporarily a par 3 as they are completely renovating the fairway.

Greens were FANTASTIC! Rolled true.

How in the world does this course average 4 stars?

Truthfully, The only positive thing about this course is that you can play as much as you want, but of course today they close one of the nines. It was a long drive out there and definitely not worth even the $30 I paid!
