Fantastic experience

I hadn't played here in about 15 years and I'd always thought of it as a good course. I was wrong, it's outstanding. The layout is such that even though I drove the ball well there are several holes where unless you are on the correct side of the fairway some of the greens, never mind the flags, are hard to get at. The whole course was in great nick and I can't see how the greens could be any better even so early in the season. About the greens. There is not one where you have a straightforward putt, often with more than one break. As for the 2nd, it's almost (for me completely) unplayable. I putted off the green.....twice. Fun though.
An all round great experience and we'll be returning again this year. Thanks to all involved in presenting such a great club and course.

A Crackin day

Been a few years since I played here but it was even better than I remember. The course was in great nick and greens superb. Some new bunkers are well placed to make you think a little more. The only tiny constructive criticism I can think of is that some of the bunkers have too much new sand in them. Looking forward to going back.

Outstanding

I've played at Hobson on just one occasion before, last year at a similar time and was impressed then but yesterday me and my playing partner were blown away. The layout, particularly the front nine is very easy on the eye, with widish fairways but if you venture into the second cut of rough the ball tends to sit down which in fairness it should and it's fair punishment. The whole course was superbly presented from the cut of the fairways to the condition of the bunkers. The stand out feature however were the condition of the greens which were simply outstanding. Very quick and the truest greens I've played on in the UK and Spain this year with not the slightest bobble to be seen. Enormous credit and thanks to the green staff for a really great experience. I look forward to visiting again in the near future.
