About

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.

Good course for the money

The ability to play 3 different 9 hole layouts is a nice option. Greens were rolling pretty well. We had a lot of rain a couple days prior and there was still a lot of standing water and soggy areas around the course. I’ll be back when it dries out.

The only complaint I have is something the course cannot control and I understand that. But my friend and I got paired with someone that quite frankly didn’t vibe with us. He was very unaware of how we played and very socially awkward. I’m not blaming the course but I wish there was a way to maybe next time just split us up in a pair when you four people and two of those people don’t know anyone.

Good value with GolfNow deal

Road nine is under repair so only option was Cottage/Lake. Layouts of these are good. Not too challenging, but good mix of doglegs and straight-aways and only a couple tee shots over water. The fairways and greens were in good shape, but the tee boxes and rough were not. You can pretty much drive the cart anywhere, which is good because cart paths are gravel and VERY dusty (my shoes and bag were covered in gray dust by end of round). Staff is friendly. It’s a good deal if you find a discounted rate, like the GolfNow one and a good course to add variety to a rotation, especially when the Road course is available again.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the state of the tee boxes and rough, as well as the dusty cart paths. We are glad to hear that our staff was friendly, and we hope you will visit us again in the future.

First Time Playing

Late April 23

I was disappointed that the lake course is currently closed, wanted to play all 27 since course is 50+ miles from home. Greens were nice and fairly challenging, would recommend. Beware of the green side bunker on the par 5 road course, trees are growing in it. Pro shop was efficient, friendly, and Informative and the crews likewise

Great Value

As to be expected for the money, the course needs lots of work and was soggy. Understanding that it’s winter, the course discounted the price to play which will bring me back time and time again. Awesome layout and didn’t lose any balls!!!

Normal dude's golf course

This course isn't Augusta, but it's still generally in good shape, the layout is pretty friendly, and usually not too crowded.
The staff is sometimes a bit grumpy, but nothing an extra smile or two doesn't resolve.

Greens in very good shape. Fairways starting to thin slightly due to season/ type of grass. Bunkers could use a little care. Staff is good and overall experience is consistently good.
