Very well maintained course

Awesome, the best fairways around on the east coast. There was about 5 to 7 greens that had bad spots on them. Every course is dealing with the weather right now..I'm a member at White Plains Golf ⛳️ Course in white plains MD.R course is in great shape to but your fairways r Awesome. Overall ill give the course a 5 out of 5.

Hobbs is great. Always is. Plain a simple. Greens are suffering from summer heat, but they will bring them around

Nice Course...Horrendous Greens

Really enjoy this course and layout, but the greens were absolutely atrocious. It's been years since I have seen such bad greens.

I normally would say yes to recommending this course, however with the greens as they currently are, it's a hard NO.

A great value

Hobbs Hole still provides a very good golf experience. It is well laid out and has forgiving wide fairways. It is rarely crowded and my round was finished in 2 hours 45 minutes. The fairways are immaculate. The rough is fairly high but consistently fair.The greens are what protects this course and are typically fast. That being said the climate has not been generous this summer and a few of the greens have significant grass loss in patches. This is the first season that I've seen this since I started playing this course. Also the tee boxes are pretty rough right now. I'm not surprised as these problems are similar to my regular course that is in the same geographic area. Also it would be great if there was more water on the course or a beverage cart. We're in a 90 degree summer and golfers need to keep hydrated.

What happened??

I live in Fredericksburg and for the last 3-4 years I have gladly made the 50 minute drive to Hobbs Hole because of the great course conditions for the money. The greens today were atrocious. Putting on dirt half the time. Sad!

Fun course, decent value

At $50 (weekday price through GolfPass), Hobbs Hole is a pretty good value. The greens are almost always in very good condition, although they have suffered just a tiny bit lately from the torrential rains and heat. The fairways, though? Immaculate. Seriously, some of the best I've played on the last two years (well, when I actually find myself in the fairway). The rough was very challenging this time around (lost two balls that weren't that far off line) but again, it's probably been pretty difficult to mow with the recent wet weather. This isn't a maintenance issue, it's an issue of me needing to find the fairway more often.

Great hidden gem

Hidden gem in Tappahanock. Cart was included for $36. Fairways and greens were like carpet and the rest of the course was top notch.
