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.

Awesome environment

I absolutely love this course. I play 1 to 2 times a week and this is the only course I play. Single players are welcome because you get paired up and other players are kind.

Just awful

Club house is old and dingy, extremely outdated and dirty bathrooms. No cart girl on a day where their parking lot is 3/4 full. Bar service is slow. Cart path is filled with holes and water even when it hasn’t rained in almost a week. Would think there would be some sort of pavement, but no it’s just mud and rocks. Ground was extremely dry and hard in certain areas and terribly muddy and soggy in others. Had drives right in the middle of the fairway and my lie was a mound of dry dirt. Golf carts are on their last wind and stall out all the time too. Just not enjoyable. Booked through golf now where it states if you book 18 you are free to play all three 9 hole courses. Image is attached. Was confronted by the guy in pro shop and told that the wording “may have been misleading” and he had “never seen such a thing” and that I would need to pay for another nine if I wanted to play the last 9 hole course. DONT POST SOMETHING IN YOUR DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE AND ACT LIKE IM FREELOADING! DO BETTER BUSINESS AND ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR MISTAKE! There is also always some part of this course closed. This time it was the driving range, last time it was the last hole of the lake course. I would at the least say this place would be a cheap place to hit balls, but they don’t even have a driving range open. Overall terrible course, terrible management and won’t get my business again. Seems like they need it as the conditions are so awful and wanted me to pay for the last 9 holes that is clearly stated are included. Even says 27 holes in the description as well.

Would do it again

Played the Hollows for the first time 8/6/24. Liked the open layout of both the Cottage and Road courses. The fairways were a bit spotty with weeds and bare spots but not too bad. Greens were a bit beat up from players not repairing ball marks. The sand traps ( which I visited a lot) were very nice with fluffy sand, not the hard pan I have been used to. Very enjoyable round and a good value at $31 for 18 and cart. Went on line at golf pass.com- for the deal. Would return to play the next time I’m in the area. Highly Recommend.

Enjoyed the round

We were on vacation and looked for a place to play golf. Golf now suggested the Hollows. A 27 hole layout, a golfer friendly open layout. They had some of the best bunkers I have had to play out of. Greens were though bet receptive but a challenge. Fairways were well marked but could use a bit more grass. A very enjoyable round and would play again the next time we are in the area!

Try it out

Getting back into golf after a 20 year hiatus is something, but this course is very open and very clean. It is a very fun course, I have played 3 times since writing this review. The staff are friendly, the golfers are friendly and nice, and lets be real we all get frustrated when we have a bad shot. But that's golf and my time so far has been fantastic. I am meeting more golfers and I am actually having fun regardless if my nickname is Bogey Bean.

If I had to fix one thing at this course it would be to upgrade the bathrooms. Have better locks on the stall doors, maybe some new flooring and tiles. But overall I would recommend this coarse to everyone.

Hot day

The tee boxes , fairways and greens were all in decent enough shape. Not enough rain lately nor watering so tee boxes were hard as a rock . A bit slow pace of play on the first 9 but better on the back. Nice to have a starter there but should space out tee times to every 10 minutes on the weekend for your average Joe. A few collars around the greens suffering. Hoping some rain and cooler weather will return the course to its usual good condition. No hot dogs at the turn ready.

Good for the money

9th hole closed on one of the 9's. Green just in good condition, not very good. Tee boxes flat, good shape, not very good. To play all 27 holes, the 19-27 holes is only 8 bucks with cart. A deal!

Course has made vast improvements since I last played it 6 years ago. Fairways and greens were in good condition. Only issue I had were the bunkers. Sand was very compact. Overall nice course.

Greens needed blown off, bunkers were not maintained which is a bad sign. They had a ton of footprints and have not been raked in a while.
