Hollenback Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time of year to play Hollenback Golf Course, and what should I expect from the conditions?

We always recommend late spring, typically May through early June, for Hollenback. The course is incredibly lush then, and the greens are usually rolling at their fastest, offering a true test. You'll avoid the peak summer heat and enjoy comfortable playing temperatures.

How challenging is Hollenback for a mid-handicapper, and are there any specific holes I should really prepare for?

Hollenback offers a fair challenge for mid-handicappers, primarily due to its subtly sloped fairways and well-placed bunkers. Keep an eye out for the par-4 7th hole; its dogleg right around a mature oak demands a precise tee shot to set up an approach to a tiered green.

What's the typical cost to play Hollenback, and do you have any tips for securing a good tee time or value?

Expect to pay around $50-$70 for a prime weekend tee time, which is a solid value for the course quality. Your best bet for a more relaxed pace and slightly lower rates is to book a weekday morning slot, especially if you can play before 9 AM.

I've heard Hollenback has some unique greens - what can I expect from their putting surfaces and overall course maintenance?

Hollenback's greens are indeed a highlight; they're known for their subtle undulations and consistent speed, often running quicker than they appear. The course staff does an excellent job keeping the fairways tight and the rough manageable, so you won't lose too many balls just off the short grass.

After a round at Hollenback, what's your recommendation for a quick bite or a relaxing drink nearby?

Absolutely, you've earned it! We always head to "The 19th Hole Grille" right in the clubhouse for their fantastic local craft beer selection and a surprisingly good burger. It's nothing fancy, but the atmosphere is friendly, and it's perfect for recounting your best shots.
