What the club says: The Valley Course (9 Hole par 27)
This 9 Hole par 3 course is without question one of the best designed and maintained in the country. Lakes, bunkers, streams and mature trees provide an interesting and fun layout. It is a great place to start to learn the game, but also a challenge to the experienced golfer.
The Weald Course (9 hole par 35)
Top professionals play here because it's so good - so do us lesser golfers as well.
A great course with some great holes. You'll want to play it again and again - always the sign of a good course. There is a good balance of holes, some long, some short, but testing all parts of your game and making you think.

Challenge for any level. Almost every hole has different layout. Has a nine hole par 3 course which is well above average. Then nine normal holes again with varying layouts. All in excellent condition. Normally no queues after 9:30 during the week.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Sep 6 2020 by David E - rated 4 out of 5 One 9 hole and short par 3 course
Been regular at hobbs cross for years, two courses, one a small par 3 testing your short game and one full 9 hole course.Kept in great condition and variety of holes and a good test
Club do not allow bookings however and as such whole world descends at weekend and after work times meaning you can wait an age to tee off and pace is slow, would recommend on basis of good courses but get a booking system! Quite pricey can play an 18 locally for cheaper

Reviewed Jul 24 2020 by Miss Day - Ware - rated 1 out of 5 Not very supportive for young children
My daughter and partner drove for half an hour to play a different and new course which had great reviews and was in lovely surroundings.On arrival they were told that my child couldn’t be caddied for by her dad (She weighs 4 stone so unable to carry her own bag for a long period of time), he had three of his own clubs in her bag so they could both play but were advised this wasn’t allowed due to COVID. Golf is a sport that is very social distanced. They have played many courses in the area since lockdown restrictions were lifted and it has never been mentioned, in fact it’s more encouraged as they can go out in their own bubble.
For an up and coming superstar, she was so upset and felt discouraged and has since said she will never ever play the course and will pass on her experiences to all at her current club and lessons.
Instead of them worrying about two family members playing on their own and sharing a bag, they should have been outside on the first tee where there was a huge queue and not much social distancing being adhered to.
She left disheartened but then drove to her regular course and done 9 holes without any fuss and shot a 33 on a par 27. Not bad for an 8 year old little girl.

Reviewed Mar 29 2019 by Bill R - rated 4 out of 5 Great condition, shames it's not 18 holes
This course which has a main 9 hole course and a Par 3 is in outstanding condition and has been all winter. Possibly the best putting surfaces for miles around and an interesting course. Don't let the fact that it's 9 holes put you off, you can always play twice, but even so if all you have time for is 9 holes you can do no better than go here. Two tricky par 3's, a tricky par 5, a par 4 that only the longest accurate hitters will reach in regulation matched with excellent greens means you'll enjoy this.(Round played: Mar 2019 - Score: 85 Handicap: 17)
