Clipboard in hand, the 53-year-old former England manager, who also played for his country and was one of the most gifted midfielders of his generation, alternates between jotting down notes, shouting orders and encouragement to the players and making critical comments to Nigel Spackman, an ex-Chelsea and Liverpool player who is one of his assistants.
"Shape again! Talk to him! Tucked in too far! That's poor! You worked hard to win it and you gave it straight back!" bellows Hoddle, who is clad in a light blue tracksuit top and black trousers and sporting sunglasses.
"If you're good enough you get fast-tracked into first teams but there's another load of players that fall by the wayside that could be developed and get there in the end," Hoddle told Reuters, as groups of German and British golfers headed off for a day on the hotel course.
"I could see over the 10 years that I had been a manager that we didn't really develop and give the players enough time and we were losing a hell of a lot of talent through a great big hole that they never came back out of.
"So I thought, well, one day I might do something about that and see if I can redress the balance a little bit."
"At the moment it wouldn't be paying for itself," Hoddle said. "But obviously what we're looking to do is get players back into football and we get development fees for them and then if they go on and make appearances and are sold on we would get percentages of that.
"That's going to take some time. But we're slowly growing. We've got over 2,500 players on our website now asking for places."
