Hobbs Hole has and will always be one of my favorite courses to play. The greens this time around were surprisingly quick and in great shape for the amount of rain we had recently and over the last few weeks. Tee boxes were in good shape. Fairways were great and pace of play was faster than any course in Richmond. I live an hour away and can’t wait to come back. If you like “friendly” tee shots and great greens it’s a course for you.

This course first caught my attention by the layout of the holes. Five par 5s and five par 3s. Gives every level of golfer a great opportunity to score well. The pace of play was the best of any course around. We played in just under 4 hours with a 15 min lunch break at the turn. And that was with 4 people. Greens were slightly on the “slicker” side and ran about as true and any other course around. The type of greens i like. The only little thing I could complain about is that they told the 4th player (who wasn’t with me and my other two friends) to get in the cart with our single partner. Wouldn’t be an issue if it wasn’t during a global pandemic. I know it’s a frowned upon to have 3 carts in one group, but people’s health and safety are number one. Asking two random people to share a cart is not safe anyway you look at it. But the guy was really cool and we had a great time none the less. Definitely will be back to this course soon. Highly recommend!
