Great Course

Great course at a very reasonable price. Lovely layout and in excellent condition with super fast greens and difficult pin positioning making putting very testing.

Reasonably flat course with a few slightly sloped holes making it not to taxing on the legs.

Only problem of the day was it was very busy which is probably due to the popularity of the Club so would maybe book for later in the day

over bookd

Course was way over booked, backed up from the off, waiting to play every hole, didn't even finish round as it got worse further on we got around and got more and more frustrated. Twice it's happened at this course now.

Consistent with other reviews

It was my first time playing at the Hobson. I couldn’t fault if whatsoever. It probably had some of the best greens I’ve ever played on. Some tricky holes but most holes have a wide fairway. Which is good so people like me who sometimes have a mean slice. I would definitely recommend.

Winter golf at Hobson

Only a few days prior to our game the course was frozen solid under a covering of snow and yet the green keeping staff managed to have most tees and all permanent greens in play only three days after reopening which speaks volumes about the amount of effort that is currently going into course maintenance and puts some other nearby so-called "prestige" courses to shame - top marks to all the staff at Hobson - keep up the good work!

Winter Golf is the Worst! Decent Course Though!

Would really like to come back and play this course again in the summer months. Hate playing winter golf which might have reflected in my review! Those back to back par 3’s were interesting, particularly the green on second one! Some well positioned traps all around the course too! Greens were excellent. £25 a little steep but I was an early Sunday slot so fair enough.

Disappointed

Too many holes close to each other,especially early on that caused delays in playing and course safety. Plus unfortunately from the start followed a non golfer couple who were consistently hacking around, oblivious to holding up play for ourselves and others behind and lacking course etiquette.
