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.

Windy but nice course

interesting course for the intermediate golfer. With three courses offers a good variety. Played the road course which I am told is the easiest and yes moderate challenge . Some spots still repairing from winter, cottage course was closed when began round, but overall good condition.greens ran very true and consistent, so putting or chipping fun. Even holed pitch out of sand that ran very true. Lakes course then gives you whole different look with the water and blind tee shots . One hole has cow bell so can ring and let the golfers on the tee know you have moved on. Windy and cooler than forecasted, but overall like the variety of holes and plan on playing again. Want to play the cottage because understand the most challenging of the three . Definitely will be playing again soon.

great place to be.

From a few days out from the melting of our third snow since february, the course was pretty soggy but there is no question that warmer, dryer weather will prove what a hidden jewel The Hollows is. The Hoolows is one of my favorite courses in tne Richmond area.

Hidden gem

I played this in 38-40 degree weather and cloudy. Hardly ideal golf conditions. Honestly, I bought the tee time forgetting the weather forecast for the following day and being nonrefundable, I went for it. I was not disappointed. Most of the courses in this area are going into dormancy and so the greens are green but the fairways are generally not. Still, a great course, greens were fantastic, and fast. Just like they should be IMO. Many are little dots and many are huge. Their one common characteristic is none of them are flat, and I love to putt so it made for great fun. Even though we are middle/late December, the fairways were in great shape.

I will be back to play this in the summer when it should be in premium condition.

Worth the drive, worth the cost, and certainly a challenging course.

Good Value for this short but interesting course.

3 different 9 hole sections, each with positive aspects. Good senior rates and discounts using Golf Now. Friendly and helpful staff. Greens are a serious challenge.

Solid Course

I played the Cottage and Road courses which were in great shape despite a lot of recent rain. The greens had recently been punched - but were very fast despite that. The staff is always great - and the restaurant/bar is excellent.

i love the greens

course was in good shape. i wish when they mowed the fairways they would not leave chucks of grass there, but that is just being picky. the GREENS are always in great shape. they are smooth and not bumpy, thus giving you a true role. enjoy.

Player beware

I have played this course a few times due to a low cost round. Got this round last minute because some buddies wanted to go out. Do not play this course on the weekend. Very poorly managed grouping on the three nines and the Marshall's do nothing but ride around and talk. Greens were decent but the rest of the course is poorly maintained. One lady runs the food service by herself, it's very slow. If you can find this course for twenty dollars on a weekday then go for it. Do not make the same mistake I did and pay forty dollars for a Sunday noon tee time. The pace of play is painfully slow. This course has really fallen off.

Short but challenging

Great staff and the course was well maintained. Only complaint was slow play...not the fault of the course though just continuing to notice slow players do not allow faster players through.

Will definitely play again and again...

Very forgiving and friendly course. Went with my father, another senior, and a friend. The clubhouse and staff were suitable and accommodating. Dad liked the length and the non-too-hilly terrain from the gold tees. It was challenging yet fun for the amature player. Scenery and grounds were very nice.

A run of the mill muni typecourse

Played on a Monday after seniors groups. Lakes course more challenging than the cottage course.. No ranger, which allowed a threesome to hold up multiple groups behind them on the front nine. Back nine took less than 90 minutes. Tee boxes were so dry it was difficult to get a tee in the ground.
