Read the Course Warning! I didn't...

I should've read the course warning. Thought I would be playing 18 but played 15 as 3 holes are closed. Tee boxes are par, Fairway is bit less par, bogey. Greens were also bogey.
Last time I played here was 5 or 6 years ago so really Wanted come back to play here but condition wasn't good or even close to what I remembered.
Maybe another 3 or 4 months later?? It MIGHT be ok, par enough, I would think.
So, just make sure read or call ahead for condition of the course before you book!

Take my advice, do not play here till August or next year

I played here before about 8 years ago and remembered it was very nice. Thr course layout is terrific! Not really for the beginner golfer but would appreciate the design.
But yesterday, 04/04/21, ..... the fairway is really Really wet. It's been a week after rain but still really mud fairway. It said CARTPATH only so we used our pull carts but even that wasn't easy.... ball plugs every time...
Green got dressed with arerification but still rolls nice so couldn't complain BUT it was so hard to walk in the mudds!!!
As it looks of it, it won't be dried soon..so check it out in couple months later, Not Now, Thats only thing I can say.

Please People, leave review honestly! Great layout but very poor condition.

Read other’s review and it says Very Good, com’on people, leave the feedback honestly.
I drove 1 hour and 15 min believed it’s a nice condition, but below average fairway.
They aerated all greens but that’s not what I’m pointing out.
It is in a way I guess because the aerated holes are SO BIG!
Used wrong tools?
I’ve been playing lot of other courses but this one is below average, sorry.
I do recommend this course ONLY WHEN CONDITIONS IMPROVED.

And please please, leave a accurate and honest review so others can make right decisions.
Or, it could’ve been hardcore members left those reviews....

Hi, Alex. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens as the current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game, and we will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing The Hollows Golf Club - Lake/Cottage. We hope to see you again soon.

Why can’t other golf courses take care theirs like this Golf Course does? Excellent!

I play this golf course time time to time but not much as I really want to since it’s about good 45 min non-traffics commute. If this was near by my house, I wouldn’t go anywhere!!
Fair way nice, good grass, fluffy enough, don’t see bare grounds. I’ve been to few courses these few months, and either they have good fairway then bad green or good green but poor fairways.
BUT NOT IN BROAD RUN,! ALL GOOD HERE BABY!
I could play as it lies since it has nice fairways, not dimple fairways!
I don’t have good spin on my shots but still ok enough to put on the green whereas, other places I played, it just jump off or hit the wrong spot and goes sharp left or right. [. majority of greens are uneven with weeds and bold spots in other courses I played ]
Yes, it’s 9 holes BUT VERY NICE, REGULATION HOLES!!
and people, if you don’t break 90s here, then please don’t complain about 9 holes.
You are getting 2 chances to play same and still over 90, then you should Just stay here keep playing until you break 90, am I right?

Keeps getting better, enjoyed very much!

I used to play play a lot at this course when I lived close by and loved it!
It’s been several months or close to a year, I came to play again and I see the course gotten lot better. Fairway is still nice and smooth, it’s brown but it’s getting green as we are heading into spring. Greens are good shape as well. They aerated the green but still rolls FAST!
The staffs were really friendly and nice too, I loved and enjoyed the whole rounds and definitely coming back to play soon.

Great Find! Well taken care of course and layout, Must play agin Course!

This is my first time playing on this course.
Saw a Hot Deal, great value so I took it.
It’s bit far from where I live [about 50 min drive] but heard a good rave about this course so decide to play.]
Also, we finally got a weather break and it was a chance I am not going to miss:)
The layout of the course is very nice.
I played all three tees because I wanted to check the difficulty Level of each tee box:)
Which is fun:)
We are still in winter soground is still bit hard but is well managed and the green is in much better shape than other course I played so I was impressed.
Yes, it is wet due to snow melting so it wasn’t fast but still good rolls!
Overall, it’s a fun and nice course that every golfer will definitely enjoy it!

Well maintained, not perfect but it’s Winter so, for that, it’s in good shape!

Last time I played this course was about 3.5 years ago. I remember it was good course to play and now, even in winter, fairway is in very decent shape and the green is surprisingly fast even with moisture!
I played lot other courses around NVA area and most of them suffers from npbad greens, but here, GREEN IS VERY NICE SHAPE. Yeah, there are couple holes needs some work but not too bad, it still rolls nicely and checks nicely too! Compare to other medium priced courses, their green, jumps and zigzag! So trust me, I will take this green every time! And staffs are very friendly, thank you guys!

Used to be real. Ice course but for now, Check the Review before you go play. !

I like this course. Layout is nice, challenging but not too hard.
Used to be in a great condition then, good, then ok, now, hmmmmm.
It is winter season but the way the greens are now is no excuse since other courses are in fair to very good shape.
Yes, there’s lots of leaves but that’s other courses too but missing chunks of green isn’t something I wasn’t expecting.
Fellow golfers, check the recent reviews from others before booking, or call pro shop.
Don’t make the same mistake as I did.
Go play when it gets recovered, and that would take some times.
At least not much of leaves on fairway, so that was nice.

Nice Course to play again and again!

It's been really several years since I played at this course.
I remember this was one of few nice Golf Course around where I live [this is the furthest distance]
And yes, it still is nicely maintained!
I've been playing other courses and most of them have suffered great loss on greens but, this Course managed to SURVIVED! Yes, there are couple greens had few crabgrasses but compared to other ones, this is like 20 times better!
Just wish this is close to my home then I would play here more often.
Hit'em straight people!

Wow, what happened to this course?

Last time I played on this course was about a year ago and befor that, I played few more times.
I like to play different courses so I don't bother to get a membership.
I just played at Rendition a week ago and was looking forward to have another good experience on this course but wow, what's going on with all these dead grasses in fairways and near the green?
The green is average shape and that's another disappointment, I was expecting real nice roll.
But instead, it's all rough!!
This course used to be one of nicest course but the day I played, I was wishing I wouldn't have come.
It's all Green grasses on all the courses I played within 60 miles, but here, its BROWN!!
Hope this gets better, it's a real shame.
Oh, the staffs are nice at least.......

Wanted to see and experience of real PGA golf, go, play, and feel!

This is my very first time playing on this course.
Not just me but I am sure almost every golf fanatic will want to experience the real PGA feel.
I heard so much about this Rendition Course and finally tried.
There were few bad reviews but most of them were good so I had to see it for myself.

The layout of the course is fantastic, it's a PGA quality HOWEVER, the condition of this course was not and was bit of disappointment as I was expecting more.
I guess I was expecting A lot.
But I tell you what, the condition was better than most of courses around so I am just saying if you don't have too much expectations as I had, you will definitely enjoy it.
Oh, the cart has GPS screen so you can see and how far.
I just didn't trust at all so got myself in lot of bunker trouble, so guys, please trust the GPS !!!
I played front nine from WHITE TEE and it seems bit short so I tried from the tip on back nine and that's was LONG!!
But if you want to share or experience how the pros do, try playing from the tip!
It is totally fun!!!
I did, I had tons of fun ...... getting in bunkers... yes, tons of bunkers, lol. (Most of them are blind but you can see from the cart gps!!)
But it was real good experience, so golf fellas, go play this Course!!!!!

Average course, could've been better experience if wasn't for rude staffs

Average course, average condition. It's like my first time again, since it's been decade last time I played before I moved CA.
Golfing experience would have been enjoyable if it wasn't for rude staffs, don't greet you proper way.
As soon as I walked in, without a smile or hello, [no smile could've been ok but their attitude was like what???]] Demanded me to provide the proof I booked via golfnow, instead asking nicely.
[i was in my office dress with shirts and expensive pants, not as a red-neck (no offense, please) so don't know how could I have offended the pro-shop as I walked in. Maybe I was Asian ? I was only Asian there.
Although, the golfers I played, hooked up with were very very nice.
Trying to tell me where and how far to hit, but they only played 9 holes.
For the back nine, the foursome in front of me wouldn't let me pass, asking me to hit 3 or 4 balls by myself. Lol. Wow.
Another single eventually joined me at 2nd hole.
Got to play only 4 holes and got dark. Geez these foursomes took 35 min each on hole and wouldn't anybody pass.
Overall, DID NOT enjoy this, the rating I see is way over rated.
I should have gone to Pendleton , which is far better Course.

Always a fun and enjoyable playing at this course!

I believe this is my 5th time playing this Course this year. Wish it was close to my home then would play every other day, hey, I got to work on other days:-). The Course is always clean, even at this season with all these leaves. Even lot of rough areas are clean enough to find the ball but if the grass is too tall or in the woods, then you know. Luckily, I don't go in woods or in rough. My distance is short so I don't get in trouble lol. The fairway is really nice, as before I remember but it is getting bit hard as season is changing, still makes good divots. Greens are still fast. They are not perfect but way above conditions compare to other courses. For the rate you pay, it is well worth it. I hope I can go back there soon [its about 52 min distance from me]

Private course, now open to public, NICE!

Played at here couple times whenever my buddy takes me since it's been a private course. Very nicely maintained course as you expect from private club (not much as $100,000 membership course, but in REALLY, LOT BETTER CONDITION compare to most of public course. Fairway was r wry nice if I remembered but it might be the season, the fairway is about average this time however, the green is still nice, firm and fast. It's kind of tight as you will see trees hugs along the each holes.
Some holes are long and some are short so it's really fun for every handicap. As I've been to lot of courses, it's always nice to see the ball rolls smoothly into the hole, that's the kinda green we all golfers want, right? Go play here if you get a chance!

Used to be real nice, it clouds be the weather but, when I played, the couse was in just below average condition In my opinion.
The fairway is good, better than average but the green was way below average as it has lots of burned or dead spots with crab grasses.
I played with hot deal so can't complain much but surely don't want to pay $40 or more to play.
Staffs are always nice there, so feels you are treated right.

Beautiful Scenery, Always interesting and fun course yet, challenging,

It's been few years last time I played on this course. The Staffs are always friendly as I remembered,.
The course fairway is very nice and greens are in Excellent condition and well taken care of.
I played "Longest" and "Waterfall" as I played last time.
Tee box is in average condition, can make nice clean shot from fairways, and greens are firm and hold the shot and rolls fast [green speed was about 10, not slow but fast enough].
Need to go back to play "Island"!
Another nice fun memory whenever I play here.
