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.

Great value, fun holes on Cottage
The Hollows is a great value; they have 3 nines, which gives it enough variety to stay interesting, and the rates are very reasonable.
We played the Cottage and Road nines. Cottage has some pretty holes, especially the 3rd hole, par 3 150 over a pond. From there, there's some elevation changes on the next couple holes to keep it interesting.
Road is a bit more boring, scenery wise; not terrible, but just not a lot of visual interest.
Both are pretty forgiving for high handicappers (like us :)); fairways are generous, not a lot of OB.
The greens were in nice shape, for the most part; they rolled true. There were a few rough spots, but for the most part I was impressed.
I always enjoy playing the Hollows, will definitely come back!
This course was outstanding
The golf coure looks good the fairway are outstanding and
the green are good.I enjoy myself everytime i go there.
nice course for average golfer
overall good condition//well maintained//greens in good condition
Great course for value
This course is a great course to challenge your game, for a great price. The greens were in great shape. The Fairways were easy to hit off. Even the rough was challenging.
And to top it off, you can not beat the price of this course normally, but with Golfnow.com, it is even better
Well manicured Beginers/Practice Course
Nice Beginers/Practice Course. If you are beginning or just hitting the links for the first time of the year, this is a nice place to start. Open layout and nicely manicured greens. The Pro Shop Attendant seemed to not believe that I paid through GolfNow and scrutinized my documentation. Turnoff, but once out on the course the Starter/Marshall was welcoming. The maintenance guys seemed to not adhere to golf etiquette either. We had to wait 5 minutes as one guy finished mowing the fairway.
Overall... I love playing golf, so these little nuisances didn't ruin the round.
nice course,great staff,and very good price
course was in very good shape. the price through golfnow.com was super. the staff was friendly and accomadating. great food in the restaurant.
Carts
Great map and yardage on the carts. unexpected and a great feature. less guessing at yardage which made club selection selection easier.
Always a good time!
I have been playing golf for about two years. I have played at the local courses. Within a 50 miles radius of Ruther Glen Va there is only one course consistently worth the money. The Hollows staff is genuinely friendly. The course staff also minds and movement so not to disturb course play. The proshop staff always make sure you know about deals they are offering and are very open to work with you if you are a few minutes early or behind. The restaurant staff is great. There are many options for golf in the area and the Hollows is the most consistently enjoyable experience around.
This course is set up as two nine hole courses back to back.
This is not a course I would likely play again. It is not a difficult course to play but given the distance I have to drive to reach this course, it is not worth the extra cost to me to paly it.
