Wife and I played, For the money - once again, what a value! Course and greens in super great shape, all VERY green, staff super friendly, and nice clean carts. Course is well maintained.

My wife and I played 18 holes 10/14/21 & 10/15/21. First Time for us, and an EXCELLENT experience - all around. Staff there were very friendly, check in was quick and easy @ Pro Shop, golf carts were clean and like new. Young lady, maybe 20 was diligently re-arranging, cleaning, getting the charging and alignment of carts done, and was so focused. We noticed her and were impressed. Staff at Miller's Grill there were pleasant, and the food was good. The courses (we played all 3 - nine hole courses) were all in fabulous shape - very plush and green around the approach areas & greens, greens were in excellent condition and roll true. Fairways and and tee boxes were very green and in excellent shape, And, unlike most all courses around the Richmond area where we play - 12, Shenvalee had their their sand traps loaded with nice deep, clean sand, well raked - kudos to you! The views of the mountains (right in front of you on every hole) is great. We also could not get over the cleanliness of the grounds - very green and clean everywhere. Restrooms off and on the course were clean and well stocked. We were impressed with everything, and will be back. Course has it's challenges and is fun. Nice to play a course this green and plush at the prices we paid. We congratulate the course management on the job they are doing.

My wife and I (60's) play many different courses all within an hour of Richmond. We shoot in the low 90;s. We had not played The Hollows in 2 1/2 years and always liked the place very much. Today, guy at the desk when we checked in was rude, and a real wise a... Never really experienced that elsewhere. He could learn some manners and Customer Service Skills. The course was in extremely poor conditions - mud almost everywhere, poor drainage, and leaves in MASS very wide near the fairways in many many areas. Balls easily lost, and we talked to another player there who felt the same way. Saw no staff out working the course to blow all these leaves elsewhere, and working and making efforts. Kinda is what it is.. # 9 on Lake 9 is a prime example. We were also told at the beginning once there that 11 of the holes would be cart path only. Saw the carts at the beginning, and lack of care is seen there too - all carts are visibly dingy/dirty. Save your money and play a course that cares and has good staff. This place not recommended.

My wife and I played. Weather was perfect, nice new facility, and pleasant staff. The cost was fair, course conditions excellent - fairways, bunkers, greens, etc... Very well maintained - kudos to the staff there. Well worth your money. Nice clean restrooms, and very nice snack bar/restaurant with nice seating outside too. We were impressed, as well as were others - parking lot loaded this Wednesday early afternoon.

Course requires a lot of concentration, much carry on some holes, as well as narrow fairways, twists, turns, hills w/ high elevations, and some low levels. Seems to include IT ALL, for an excellent variety. The course was in great shape, and all staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Greens were in perfect shape, and quite tricky; again, takes much concentration. I highly recommend this course. It's well maintained, nice customer service, and at a fair price.

My wife and I played for the second time here. It's 45 minutes from our home. Course was in excellent condition, VERY friendly and helpful staff, and I we love the landscaping from the parking lot, to the driving range, to all over the course - KUDOS to the owners! Very plush,
nice trees and plants, and well over 100 people out and about playing there. Greens were nice and putts rolled true. Well worth your money. Temp was 98 with heat index. Just about got us, as warning, last 4 holes have cart stop signs WAY before the greens. A lot of up hill walking and we could not figure out why as it was not a marshy area and wasn't damaged. Highly recommend to you as a course to try!

Price is fair, course still needs a lot of various serious improvements as it has for years - cart paths, sand traps, and basic landscaping attention around the entire course. Grass was too heavy in areas today (needed cutting) and with the recent heavy rains, made some shots almost impossible. All of the greens were nice.

Wife and I played @ 96 degrees and had just rained heavily the night before. Course was soggy on at least 9 of the holes (playing in the mud - had not drained well) and on many other holes had cart path only signs due to overseeding. Made for a long day and miserable mess. Also saw numerous tee boxes and other areas with huge crabgrass growing, and a load of rocks in sand trap in front of # 18? We've played the course dozens of times over the years, but grounds need more attention. We've always thought a nice course for the change, you can usually score well, and at a fair price.. . .

My wife and I played for the first time at this course. Very hot 96 degrees, no wind, but perfect conditions. Course VERY well kept! Our congrats to staff. Greens, fairways, tee boxes, and sand traps were all in excellent shape. Don't know how they keep it all in that condition. Greens roll true and fair. Nice scenery, great pace of play. We enjoyed it all, and at a fair price. At Pro Shop - restroom conditions excellent. We've eaten @ their restaurant 3 times for lunch in July, 2020 - EACH time the service and food were excellent. Highly recommend this location!.

Very nice ambiance, from the clubhouse, the surrounding landscaping there - trees & plants. Very beautiful and calming. Course well maintained, the price was fair, and the greens rolled true. Many flat divots in the greens; players obviously not fixing them, then groundskeepers just going over them with a roller. Such a shame, for such a nice course. We enjoyed our experience and would recommend this course to others.

Very wide and forgiving. Has about 3 holes that require a lot of carry on the tee shots. Course well kept and in plush condition. Management needs to better monitor pace of play and make sure people are moving along! We saw no one doing this, and unfortunately my wife and I were victims. Other areas - we have eaten twice at their restaurant - excellent service and food, and @ reasonable prices. People in their golf shop are very pleasant and helpful.

Greens and course overall in great shape. In late December, and not 1 bad green. Management Staff friendly and helpful, pro shop and restaurant superb, and extremely clean restrooms. Course is a lot of fun and challenging in areas, and putts can be tricky and leave you long! Our thanks to them for doing a great job in so many areas. One of our favorites. We will return. We STRONGLY encourage you to play Brickshire - regularly.

My wife and I played here for the first time in early August, 2019, and returned 8-19-19. Enjoyed it very much both times, and will continue to return. Well worth your ride. Excellent plush course conditions, VERY friendly and helpful staff, and at a very fair price, Golf Carts look fairly new. "George" greeted us both times, took the time to talk with us, and explained helpful hints to the course. I'd strongly recommend this course to others. Nice Pro Shop. Bought a shirt, and was at a comparable price to what you would expect at other Pro Shops. They also have a VERY nice restaurant. Thanks Brickshire!

I've played here numerous times in the past. "Once again" the experience was excellent in all areas. Course well maintained, all greens in good shape, a fair price to play, and very friendly staff. We (my wife and I) stayed and ate lunch - the meals were excellent, excellent prices, and nice friendly staff. At the price to play, the experience, and how well maintained (acres and acres of grass, well cut, and cleanliness of the property) I would highly recommend this course.

Staff were VERY friendly and helpful, as I've always experienced there - played here 4 times in my life. This time, our foursome (was the first time for 2) were pleased, and I guess too early for the wildlife - we saw none. The fairways are hard to get a shot off of with hybrids or woods - not much grass there yet. Better to stay with irons. A lot of sand - so beware and keep a look out for this! This was a good buy for the price, and we like the course layout. We would highly recommend Viniterra.

My wife and I played with a GolfNow Hot Time Deal, at a great price. Our first time there. Staff were very cordial, place inside their small Proshop and outside on the course/grounds was very clean. The course is in GREAT shape, especially for this early time of the season. Greens were nice, and true to read/putt. Rolling hills and a lot of challenges, with some blind spots - where you wonder just what is going on - the shot? Very nice & quiet and scenery/wildlife - you can see for miles - and very tranquil (as long as you're not setting up for that 5th shot out of the sand trap). We both think it was a great deal/experience; we both shot right at 100. This course is very forgiving/kind to women and seniors. Kudos to customer service and keeping the grounds as nicely as they are.

My wife and I (ages 58 & 60) played 6/24/15 when it was clear and 102 Degrees with the heat index. Heat/sun doesn't bother us. We were quite impressed with the course - fairways and greens were the best we've seen lately, and we've played a lot of nice courses. Kudos to staff for their grounds work! Course challenging, and worth the price for the upkeep they have maintained.

My wife and I played, through a coupon/discount thru Golfcaddy. WELL WORTH THE MONEY! Our first time there. The weather was beautiful, staff there were extremely friendly and accommodating, and the buildings on the grounds in colonial construction, large and absolutely beautiful, with some nice large water fountains near the fairways. All areas on the course were thick with nice green grass, and A1 greens! Nice challenges on the holes. Nice also NOT being ripped off for the price of drinks, and items in the Pro Shop - all very reasonable.Our compliments to the general staff, and the grounds crew. Excellently done folks! Definitely a course all of you reading this should play. We'll be back!

My wife and I played here, for the 4th time in 2 years (with our golf group). As usual, a place we enjoy playing. Course in good condition, greens were very nice, and staff pleasant. Well worth your money - we would strongly recommend that you play this course. A nice change, and relaxing wineryside atmosphere.

Wife and I played. Pace was nice and comfortable, on a beautiful day. Course was in good shape, and staff were friendly. We were disappointed, in that the advertisement we saw boasted good food at the grille, yet they were out of chicken (we wanted chicken sandwiches, instead of the burger/hot dog routine). So, we just purchased 2 cokes (almost $6.00 - ridiculous), and left. Suggest drop your drink prices - as after on the course all day, hot, and having already paid to play - there needs to be some reward/incentive (good price on the drinks, to have folks come back, instead of them leaving feeling they were ripped off). A very small price to pay/reduce price/adjustment for drinks for happy faces and wanting to them to return. Place needs to be better prepared - they could have gotten probably another $20.00 out of us, had they been better prepared and not out of chicken . Overall, the experience was different and okay; nothing "extremely" nice or sensational. We did feel VERY uneasy/unsafe on a few holes, where others at the T Box behind you couldn't see you in the fairway, due to the terrain. I know there are bells at some holes, but there were still at least 3 more holes #we played Falls/Longest# where more safe bells need to be placed. I know the course has been there a long time, but this needs to be done ASAP - we had 1 ball rain down on us from behind - wasn't player's fault - couldn't see us. Also, our first time playing at this place, once out on the course, we were shocked that the score card has no lay-out of the holes! We'd probably play there again, if some of these safety measures are put in. As said above, we had one close call, with a ball from behind coming down on us. Management, I hope reads this review and makes the improvements. I would identify the holes, but I can't because the card we had/now have here at home 1 1/2 hours away, does NOT give a hole by hole layout. If management wants to offer us a free round to come back and play same 18 - we'd gladly make the trip and identify those holes, to help you out. Course/Player Safety is # 1!
