The Good- greens and fairways are in really nice shape.

The Bad- Always busy no matter when you play. The course gets a lot of play since its the lowest priced round in the Williamsburg area. They do put GPS trackers on your cart to monitor "pace of play".

The Ugly- Sat early round, 4th group off, close to 3 hours for 9 holes. Packed in after that, as they alos had a shotgun tournament going off in afternoon. Foursomes on every hole. Pace of play and spacing of tee times, combined with having a tournament, along with allowing walking before 11am; just all not great course management.

I will not be back. I gave this course a couple of tries and I have not had a positive experience yet. Too many other options to choose from.

DL III redesigned a Tillinghast and it’s just not the same. Removed the first 6 holes for a 6 hole Par 3 course, putting greens, and driving range. Bunkers placed in many landing areas. Pace is really slow. Since run by First Tee, many new golfers and walkers. For 12 holes on 2nd tee time took almost 3 hours. Pack a lunch if playing on the weekend!

Nice 9 hole track, challenging, greens are in excellent shape. Pace of play on the slower side. Staff customer service was excellent. Would go back if closer.

For the value, worth the drive outside of the RVA into the start of the Northern Neck. Restaurant was awesome, course conditions excellent for winter play (windy). Greens were in great shape and fast. Considering all the courses in the RVA want to charge north of $55 to $100 for WINTER golf, well worth considering the shape of Hobbs Hole is as good or better than most of the courses here.

I would assume the course was immaculate in it's hey day. I found that it was under a lot of repairs, and was not in the shape for the cost. Different sand from bunker to bunker, not consistent. Many tee boxes unplayable. I would suspect once all the repairs are done, and in summer the course will be in much better shape. But there should be a huge price break for its current shape.

Course is in decent shape, but pace of play has always been an issue. Prices have gone up on everything. For the offering there are a few other courses that are a better bang for your buck.

If you are playing during daylight savings time, make sure to get a morning tee time. I had a 12:50, and with no on course marshall, ended up after 6 holes paying up with a 2 some, and then we paired up with another 2 some. Pace of play was SLOW. I hit my last 3 shots in the dark, just to get my 18 in. Given it was cart path only, tee times, etc. should be consistent with conditions.

I've played here a few times, and for the price, even with Golf Now "Hot Deal", there are many other options that are better in the Richmond to Williamsburg area.

To be honest, this was my last time playing this course.

Worth the trip to Petersburg for this little gem.
Great layout, course us always in good condition and for $44 or less on weekend in summer, one of the best values in RVA.

It can get crowded on weekends which is expected, but they have Marshall's and the pace of play is under 4 for 18.
