WORST COURSE IN THE AREA. AVOID THIS DUMP.
Fun 9 hole course. 1 runs parallel to a road with a giant net to the right of the T box. Course is always in nice shape.
¬Is Hollenback a great course? No. But it's good for what it is: a short, low-budget, easy-going, city-owned course designed with the high handicapper in mind - but even low handicappers can find Hollenback a challenge.It has changed a lot since the last reviews and since new management took over a couple of years ago. The tees and greens now have automatic watering systems, there are senior tees, a par-5 has been added, bunkers have been improved and other details have been implemented. The greens are in good condition - albeit a bit on the slow side, but that's done with the clientele in mind.Yes, the fairways do not have water, so they get parking-lot hard if it doesn't rain, but that's the way it is at courses like these. And yes, some of the nets to keep balls from going onto Washington Street are in disrepair.There are some challenging holes - No. 2, 5 and 6 come to mind. The prices are insanely low: For nonmembers, green fees are a high of $8 for 18 holes during the week and a high of $10 for 18 on weekends. The prices go down in the late afternoon. Also, a city resident can get a year membership for $175, and it's $275 for a nonresident. And, there are no tee times - you just show up. So, although Hollenback will never be considered a great course, it is definitely a value for those who want to get out and play with no hassle.
Being a bogey golfer, I really enjoyed this course. It was the first round of the year and I liked how the par 4's played. The greens here can rival almost any local course. The fariways can be a bit shabby but the over course is great if you wanna have fun and not break the bank. 9$ to play and I'm in!
To sum the course up it has easy par 4's and hard par 3's, Great Value, The greens are the best in the valley. People over look this course a lot, People think it is an easy course but it can play very difficult, and very nice staff and members, Overall a great course
