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.

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.

First time

First time playing this course. Staff was friendly and informative. Pace of play was great for us. We were able to take our time to ride up the cart paths and check out some of the fairways before teeing off. Not usually afforded this at most courses. Marshal was friendly. Couldn’t have ask for a better experience. Look forward to the next visit.

Decent for the price

Decent track, recently aerated greens, and average challenge; potential for improvement includes yardage markings, water, ball cleaners and paved cart path.

Grounds Keeper Needed!!!

We played the road course and lake course for our 18 hole round. The road course was pretty bad. We understand we've had a rainy spring, but price isn't being discounted for poor conditions either.

We booked the round as a "hot deal" through golf now which still came out to $35 pp. We play there for the convenience of being closer to home or we wouldn't go back until things improve.
