Fox Hollow Golf Course in Somerville sprawls across acres of rolling woodlands, offering dramatic elevation changes throughout the par-70 layout. Designed by local designer Hal Purdy, the abundant trees and hilly terrain have been deftly incorporated into the course. Originally built in 1967, the golf course was completely redesigned in 2000 to make it more challenging while at the same time improving its playability. Since its renovation, it has garnered a local following but it is still one of the better kept secrets of Somerset County, making it likely that golfers will be able to play the golf course regardless of the day or time. In addition to the course, there is also a practice facility with a grass driving range, a bunkered practice green, and an expansive putting green. One reason Fox Hollow G.C. is a popular choice, besides the enjoyable layout, is the affordability it offers.

Pace of play was brutal. 5 hour round. Maybe they shouldn't have tee times 7 minutes apart. Greens fast and sloping, but did not hold well. The rough was worse than a neighborhood lawn.

Challenging Course

Fox Hollow has a great layout and can be quite challenging. The greens were really difficult and very fast. Pace of play was great as were the amenities. We will be back.

I wasn’t impressed.

I wasn’t impressed with the layout of the course, very hilly

making it hard to keep your ball in the fairway and the greens.

If you happen to miss a fairway on either side right or left, good luck finding your ball. No first cut, it was fairway then rough, which was about 6” tall… yikes!

When I inquired about getting something to eat after my round. I was told they don’t serve food anymore, what golf course doest serve food, sandwiches etc.

In my option, there are better places to spend my money and enjoy my game of golf… all while getting something to eat afterwards.

OH Boy! Was the starter right!!!

Starter tipped us to stay below the hole. Greens were hard as a rock, above the hole was an auto 3 putt. Holes have nice shapes but the rough was very high. Didn’t see a snack bar ,restaurant was closed.

Cut the Rough

Nice layout, but the rough was so high it was unplayable on many holes. Lost balls not far from the fairway, even though you knew where you hit them. If you did find your ball in the rough, it was a real chore to chop it out.

The greens were nice, but so hilly and fast that you had to know where to put the ball in advance.

We were right behind the group in front all day, but it was a 5.25 hour round.

Dreadfully slow

The course was slow in part due to a frost delay but for nearly $200 (for two) there were no Marshalls to speed play and the clubhouse restaurant was closed. (They did offer an outdoor bbq option.)

The course was in great shape but despite that, we left after just 9 holes because of the dreadfully slow play.
