Ten Hoeve was born in Heerenveen. He studied economics at the Netherlands School of Economics in Rotterdam. He is the leader of the board of directors of the Dockingacollege school in Dokkum, having been one of its economics teachers and then its "conrector" (deputy head). From 1976 to 1980, Ten Hoeve was chairman of the Frisian National Party and from 1980 to 1988 the party's leader in the Provincial Council of Friesland.
In 2003, in the election for the Senate, he won one vote more than the party leader Fons Zinken. Thus Ten Hoeve was placed as number two on the voted preference list. In 2007, he was re-elected. He was also re-elected in 2015.
