The Hollows Golf Club - Cottage/Road
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.

The dangerously seductive tee shot of hole #2 Lake course. Photo submitted by Michael4560718 on 07/04/2013
First time was fun.
Good conditions on the course. Fairways were being mowed after several days of rain. Greens were a bit soft but were fair.
Too many walkers!
Course was in good shape, carts are a little old and worn. Biggest issue was pace of play, numerous elderly walkers most in groups of 1 or two made the round take forever. No marshals to group them or ask them to speed up play. I don't know if this is an everyday issue but if it is I sure wouldn't play there again.
Spring is back
Course is coming around . Greens ok , little slow, fairways turning green and tees covered in nice grass. Easy layout . Played Cottage and lakes with no interruption . 3 1/2 hour round and we were in no hurry . Staff always friendly , only issue finished at 440 and when headed for Beer , knickers was already closed . Hopefully coolers will be back out soon . Ran out of water early on back nine and was really looking forward to a drink . Practice range weak, why the 3 star on off course. For the average golfer thou this course is fun and enough water and turns to make interesting . Great walking course . Will be back soon .
Hollows Review
Course conditions were not too bad for early March, some spotty parts on greens. Compared to other courses in area, value isn't the best. Grill is nice and spacious, pretty good food. Practice facilities aren't the greatest, small irons only driving range.
For a short track, greens are sneaky difficult, have lots of slope. Were running faster probably due to dry and windy conditions lately.
Course very well maintained
I'm 29 and have been golfing for 19 years. Course is short but very open and forgiving. Greens are in excellent condition for March, they are true and fast. Experienced golfers could definitely shoot low scores but the course is also inviting for golfers of any skill level!
I was pleased with this course for this time of year. Greens were pretty quick. Fairways were just turning green, but overall in pretty good condition. It was a great course for walking if you are up for it. I have walked 9 and 18 here and have enjoyed it both times. It was a really nice day, so the course was packed and pace of play was a little slow for me, but still wasn't the worst pace I've played.
Nice Track
Played the Cottage/Lake course. Staff was friendly upon arrival. Driving range just so/so. Only can hit irons on range. Range distance about 200 yds max. Putting green little splotchy but true to the course greens. Tee boxes pretty good, fairways good, rough was good height. sand traps had sand in them but was a little packed, Greens were pretty good for the most part. Few had some rough spots. Great day to play with temp around 75-80 and had a great time. Will play again.
Cottage/road
Cottage good shape , road course needs work. Didn't get to play Lakes which is favorite. Crowded but pace always good here with multiple layouts. Cottage narrow and short . Road more open and Lakes most unique. Overall short course . Just nice comfortable course. Laid back , country feel with very nice nineteeth hole .
Welcome back
Haven't played here in a few months, nice little drive but always a fun day here. Staff very accomadating , great pace of play and course always good condition. Earlier review , mr bluejeans , sorry played here numerous times and never saw attire issues with anyone and have never seen a five some.they do have a very good senior association that plays a shotgun start every Monday and the ladies start early one day a week, but if have tee time anytime after ten have never had an issue with pace . My only question is the three course nines, always figured could choose but one course is almost always closed for maintenance when we play so are always directed to two other courses. Strange thing is the lakes , which I think is the nicest of the three is never closed. Does have a great country feel. Current conditions good, only issue is large standing water in numerous traps, but understandable with all the rain. Knickers is a great place for beer after round .
Great Shape!
The course, the restaurant and bar, were all in excellent condition. Great place to play.
Mr Bluejeans
If you like playing golf with people dressed in bluejeans, this is the course for you. Yes, this is out of the way as far as location is concerned, and the cart paths are dirt and gravel, but a decent pair of pants should be required. The course was in nice shape, greens fast, fairways in great shape. Tee boxes were spotty, but not bad. If you like 5 somes, this is for you as well, saw at least 2. While they did not slow me down, its still just not what one should expect when spending $40 for a round of golf.
Amazing
I was so amazed by how the course was. The greens were the best that I have ever played on. Despite getting soaked due to the rain it couldn't stop me from finishing. This course is a must play!!!!
Pleasant day in Hanover
Great weather and very enjoyable round of golf. Last minute decision with aide of Golfnow.
Great paced round of golf.
Played in a foursome in just under 4 hours. Course was in good shape. Not the longest course either. About 6000 yards. Wish more courses were set up at that length. Guys I played with were friendly. Will play there again.
Not to bad of a course
Course was in pretty good shape but the greens need some work as they are the slowest and most inconsitant greens I think I have ever putted on. Tee box to the greens where in good shape but the greens issue is what got me the most.
Return to The Hollows
The was my first day back to the game of golf in over two years. The Hollows provides a great challenge, with multiple water and sand hazards. The greens are not flat (quite hilly) and play difficult. Bring your A game and have fun.
