Good course for beginners who are looking to start playing Golf. Also good for the kids. Does get a little busy at key times due to short holes.(Round played: Jun 2020 - Score: 38 Handicap: )

Good course to get you out and swinging again. The condition was great and the greens were great, I did struggle to get the pace of them but that was not the fault of the course.(Round played: May 2020 - Score: 33 Handicap: )

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)

Super course
9 hole par 3 plus 9 hole par 4 course, in picturesque setting, and kept in super condition. When many other local courses are closed for a few weeks in winter due to drainage issues, this one stays open. It's drainage is great.Good golf range and putting green, and excellent Golf Pro/Coach in Mike Leitch.

I played both the Weald and Valley courses a number of times and they are kept in reasonable condition.
I was left extremely dissapointed by the service I received recently however. I was looking to play the Par 3 with my partner who was just due to walk the course with me. I was advised that "due to insurance" I would not be able to play alone and have a guest join me without paying. I felt this was a little harsh but accepted this and offered to pay for 2 even though the other person was not actually playing. It turn out his wasn't acceptable now. I was told she could play and they will rent clothing and clubs. I made it clear that she isn't playing but just joining me on the Par 3 course and that by paying for 2 people surely I had covered the insurance issue. I said that if it was important that she plays then she could use my clubs anyway. They said this would slow everyone down. Correct but she had no intention in playing and if she did she would definitely slow the play down!
It was abundantly clear to me that this was about money. The insurance issue was resolved when I reluctantly offered to pay for both. They wanted the extra for the renting of clubs/clothes. This is very dissapointing as I have used the place a number of times and expected a bit more of a reasonable discussion and found the staff to be overly pedantic here. "We don't make the rules, we implement them". Computer says no mentality. Needless to say I won't be returning and I'll be suggesting to my local friends and family not to go to Hobbs Cross.
As a final point, how many people does it take to work a till? 2 men at Hobbs Cross.
