Rating 70.1

Fox Run Golf Links opened in 1984 but over the past two years the course underwent a major renovation that made the layout both more challenging for serious players but also more forgiving for the recreational golfer. The multi-million-dollar renovation included enhancements to the hole layouts, redesigning the bunkers, installing a new irrigation system, and creating new practice and chipping areas. Water comes into play often throughout the golf course and you'll find elevation changes on nearly every green. The water holes will be especially tough if you have a tendency to slice the ball. Thanks to the varied layout, which includes some holes that are wide open and others that are more target-style golf, you will get the opportunity to work on different types of shots. Fox Run Golf Links is a challenging but fair test that players of all skill levels can enjoy.

Challenging clientele

Hit into on multiple occasions throughout the round. Heard some groups arguing with escalating threats. Sounded like they were going to fight.

Great start to the year

Course was in great shape. Especially for it being the first day of the year being open, as well as the rain we have had recently. Excited to see its shape in the peak season. Fix your divots! Course has a nice layout where you get to hit every club in the bag. Score-able holes throughout the 18. Pace of play was a little backed up at first but opened up on the back 9. Most likely due to golfers shaking off the winter rust. Good value course. Gas powered carts and GPS equipped.

Recently aerated and no notification of it. The greens were much faster than recent play there. Good pace. No beverage cart that day.

Course gets slow when stupid people play and nothing is done to speed them up. Greens, fairways, and tee boxes are in great shape. Green speed was some of the fastest I’ve ever seen at a muni and the greenskeeper must’ve been arguing with his wife. Pins were in diabolical locations

Great Shape

First time playing, course was very well maintained, more so than a lot of the more expensive courses in the area.

Greens were quick and rolled nice. Pace was no issue.

Only downside was no driving range. Will definitely be back to play soon and would highly recommend
