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.

Grow the game I guess

On a Sunday afternoon it’s great if you get out and have a good time. The Hollows is pretty casual, usually in a good way. Last week there were a few people mistaking the course for a tailgate. Someone brought a very loud NICE SHOT novelty speaker and was spamming the button over and over, oblivious to the nearby teebox or other players. Maybe put up a sign in the pro shop to at least consider some kind of basic etiquette.

For the Average Golfer

Overall, the course was in good shape and was a fair value for the green / cart fee. That said, the layout of the course leaves a bit to be desired. On at least one of the holes, it was difficult to determine where the flag was for the hole we were playing. That is because there were two greens adjacent to o0ne another and the fairways connected in front of the greens!

The price don't match the greens

The Hollows are always mid tier expensive. I normally see them from $60-$90. I caught a break and got it for $47 On a Sunday. To their credit, they are an older course so I wasn't expecting for it to be super modern Some older courses have good charm, which makes a decent playing experience. The tea boxes were OK at best. I found certain holes had very hard dirt making it difficult to push your tee down properly. I counted six holes with that problem. The fairways were just fine And they were really fast, which I don't see a lot of in Virginia. The biggest problem are the greens Which were very unkept. Even after long season Green shouldn't look like that. Dogwood trace is a public course and their greens are almost always immaculate for $20-$30 less in price. Overall, I thought it was a ok course. If I caught a deal, I'd play it again so I can try to play the Lake 9. The staff was nice And I must say the hotdog was excellent. I wish I would've got two

Great price

The price was great for 9 holes w a cart. Easy to get a tee time. Played Cottage course and in terrible condition. No grass all weeds. 4 out of 9 greens were decent. Course has good signage to get you from hole to hole.

Cottage course

The Cottage course was very dry, no grass only weeds. Carts paths you need 4 wheeler not golf cart. Pace of play was very good. Some greens were very nice and others in poor condition.

Nice layout

Really fun course, my wish is the GolfNow would mark if greens have been aerated. Of the 3 9’s two were aerated with one nine done the beginning of last week.

Not a good day

The front 9 wasnt bad, but then we hit every known walker in the game, which means they teed off the same as the rest of us. Wish they wouldve staggered us through play. Meaning first 4 groups take cottage, next 4 take road... with the spread out of groups, you shouldnt overlap another one. This is the only day I have had an issue with pace and because of it i couldnt finish the round, my group and I left on hole 13.
