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.

Great value

My first time playing this course. We chose it based on the price. I am not a person who can pay $100 a round, so I look for a value.
This course was in great shape and fun to play. I will be back and have already recommended it to others

Nice option if local

I live about 45 minutes away from Hunting Hawk and have played there in many tournaments. I have enjoyed my time and the course has a nice layout. Due to drive I would not visit here often but if chance arises I would visit for another round.

Good Value

The Hollows provides a great layout at a great price.
Fairway and rough Conditions improve with the weather and in Summer the greens are well above average. It can be slow pace but enjoy the outdoors and take a deep breath. Great value

Some holes are....

Decent course--27 holes, so you'll get some variety whenever you play. Course layout isn't bad-- but some holes are very easy and some are overly challenging for a senior-- few 'in between' . Price is appropriate so far.

No Marshall help available on course…

There was a threesome in front of us obviously impaired and each playing 2-3 balls per/person on most holes. We tried multiple times to call the pro shop but got no answer.

It took nearly 2 hrs 45 min to play 9 holes behind these idiots.

Typically most players here are courteous, and demonstrate good golf etiquette… but when there’s a problem group on the course… there needs to be some recourse available from the course management.

Great course for price

$45 on a Saturday. Carts have ball and club washer. Course layout is a tad confusing at times, drove past the tee boxes on a couple holes. No cart service. But overall a great course.

Cheap, easy course to play

The Hollows is a cheap course that allows you to play at your convenience. (No dress code) However, with such lax course rules and low price it brings in players with very poor etiquette. When busy, the pace of play is almost unplayable. You wait so long you forget how to play golf by the time its your turn. The course is generally in good condition for what it is, but the course is rather hard to play as the ground is extremely hard.
