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.

The dangerously seductive tee shot of hole #2 Lake course. Photo submitted by Michael4560718 on 07/04/2013
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.
Lakes course far different than Cottage course
Lake course in far better shape than Cottage course. Tee boxes were rough on both, greens were very undulating and rather slow. Greens were receptive to approach shots. No ranger to control pace. A threesome had the entire Cottage nine backed up. A decent course, but, 3 stars at best.
Well maintained
As always, the course was in great shape. The greens were firm, but a well placed shot stayed on. Due to the weather (98 degrees) we practically had the place to ourselves. The constant breeze helped to make it feel cooler.
the course was a challenge
staff was friendly , I liked the cart with the G.P.S ,
the fairways and greens were in good shape
Great First Round
This was my first round of the season due to some physical issues that I had at the beginning of the year. I had a really good round and the course is in really good shape.
Course in really good shape
We played the Road and Cottage Courses. Lots of fun.
The longest round ever
We played the cottage to the lake course, and it was extremely backed up the entire round. For a course with 27 holes, they should be able to space people out better, or just don't overbook the course.
Super
One of the better courses in the area. The course was in really great shape for this early in the season. Greens were hard and fast, fairways good and rough manageable.
Fun course
Enjoyed the course. Good scenery and was kept in pretty good condition. Carts have GPS which is a nice feature.
The couse has great featurres
course not in the best of shape.......Green needs work and fair ways.
Yanks fan
Great course. 27 holes so they started us on an open nine and crossed over to second nine. As a twosome, we finished in less than 3 hrs. Greens were aerated but have to expect that this time of year anywhere. Conditions around greens will improve as grass starts to grow. Playing again today!
A fair challenge.
The tee boxes have been set up to offer the high handicapper a "safer" route to the hole while allowing the low handicapper to go for a risk/reward shot.
Fun course but really wet from rain over the past few days.
The course had water standing in many places and it was cart path only. As a first timer I got into trouble by not knowing the layout but had a lot of fun trying to recover from those mistakes. The greens were slow but true and the fairways were soft. I know I lost 2 balls because they were plugged and I couldn't find them. I played the Lake and the Road courses and would like to go back in dry weather to try these courses again.
Great value great atmosphere without pretentiousness of comparable courses
Course offers challenging sets of nine holes (although I've only played Lake and Cottage the four times I've played the course). Staff very cordial at check in and I appreciate the ability to wear denim in the cold ( I haven't but have seen others so I assume its ok). I would consider membership if price ok.
Very nice course for the money
Course is well maintained. Having three nine hole courses helps disperse play nicely. Staff is very pleasant, and food at Knickers is delicious. I play at this course a few times a month and I'm considering joining in the spring
Long Drive to get there and was not worth it.
Staff was friendly but I just did not like the course. People all over each other because holes are close to each other. If I lived closer perhaps I would play again but since it is over an hour from my house, it is just not worth it.
Pretty good for the money.
The 2 guys running the cart stand and the pro shop desk didn't know what the were doing! It took us a good 15min to get my partner a cart, they kept sending him back & forth. They were not very nice on top of not knowing what they were doing!!! I have never had any issues like this. Usually the help is very nice and gets you set up & on your way quickly. I was unhappy with the service to say the least... I'll probably go to the "Royal Virginian" instead of the "Hollows" next time.. They seemed irritated at the fact that we came through "Golf Now "!!
Course in the best shape I've seen.
Fairways overseeded, greens smooth and fast, sand traps with good sand and raked, people friendly. Great value..play golf
