Fun Layout

We liked the course. It was a bit dry ( it's August) but in overall good condition. Don't expect it to be "manicured" but the terrain makes up for that. A few greens had a bare spot or two but nothing that influenced roll too much. We enjoyed it on a perfect Virginia Day.

Hobbs Hole

Interesting and friendly experience. The staff and members we passed by were all very welcoming. Course was in excellent condition and some holes were challenging.
Well worth the 90 minute drive from Norfolk and we will be back.

Beautiful course.

The course is always in top-notch condition. Staff is very friendly and check in is always quick. If you play on the weekends I recommend getting a tee time before 0800. There is no marshal out and about so slow players will hold you up after 0800.

Hot Hobbs

Played 27 holes on a very hot September day. Course was in very good condition except for the greens [aerated earlier that week]. They were super soft and bumpy but should recover in about two weeks. Normally they are moderate-hard and moderately fast. Not the case this time as they were quite slow. Still a good value.

Very Nice Course

I really like this course. Challenging, but fair with a nice mix of holes. Excellent greens, and overall very good from tee to green. Homes come into play on 10, 11 and 18, but even then only a very errant shot will be a problem. It's nice to be out there when it's just you and the course. Try it when you can - I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Great place to golf

Hobbs Hole is in really great shape this year. The greens were excellent and the course was in great shape. It was a warm day so we nearly had the course to ourselves. Always a great value playing here.

Bad day at Hobbs Hole

We waited on every hole. The local guys play in 5's and 6's . That and no grass is enough to keep me from returning. We had a tee time but it did not matter it was get loaded up and go wait in line.
The bathrooms and the lunch room were closed as they had installed new carpet. Overall disappointing trip.

The Hobb-Let

First time playing this course with me and my buddy. It was a pleasant surprise. Given the time of year, the course had not begun to bear fruit (greens wise) - but I could tell by the layout and the condition of the greens that come spring through fall, this course will be bordering on awesome. I loved the undulations present around most of the course - gave one a slight feeling of links with the golden hue of the dormant grass. The challenges were plenty but not too wicked for the novice (me). My golf balls are water magnets so I made my typical donation and homage to the off spring of Poseidon. Anyway, digression aside, this was a fun experience and a nice blend of value and quality. The Bald Eagle on the back 9 was a treat!

Awesome Course

I love this course. It's always in great shape & the staff is great. The golf pro Troy is one of the nicest guys I know. Has great rates for private lessons (1 for $30 or 3 for $75). He took 10 strokes off my game with his knowledge. The greens were super fast, especially for the first real time in March. For the money, there is no better course around.

I always enjoy playing this course!

It was very cold and the wind was quite strong on the front nine making for difficult play, but it calmed down a bit on the back nine. This allowed me to shoot my best 9 hole score ever.
