This relaxed club with NASCAR roots provides a laid-back experience, quick pace of play, and plenty of entertainment to make it a destination.

Golfer Reviews
With all of the rain we have had lately, Foxden is in great shape.
Great course for the money value. I'm just getting started playing golf again and played from the white tees. Challenging for me and a lot of fun. Look forward to playing more and backing up to the blue tees.
Reasonably Dry in light of heavy recent rains
Good layout in excellent condition. White tees just over 6,000 yards, plays longer. Would be great test from back tees.
Excellent greens...
Nice Layout
Even with all the rain lately the course still played great. It drains well and greens were rolling fast. Really love the layout and how two par 5s really challenge you off the tee to get home in 2.
This is a great course
The course is always in great shape and the staff at the club is awesome. The starter went through all the tough holes before teeing off which was great for the guys that had never played the course in the past. This is definitely one course that will be put on the top of my list to play in the future.
Good greens, course was wet but can't blame the course.
Over-all, a very nice track. Was wet so cart paths were necessary. Can only imagine when dry conditions return, greens will be very fast and true. Fairways in good shape as well as tees. The rough was thick so stay on the short stuff. Will return.
Good Choice
This course gets very challanging after the first 5 holes and require you to play true golf shots for distance and accuracy. Course may have been over booked because of the slow play. Spent Fathers Day with my son so had no issue waiting. Some of the best Bermuba greens I have ever played on and very true.
Front nine is hilly..back nine is in a valley...beautiful!
The course is mostly open and fun...there are two long holes that go up and down and are blind shots, like a links course ..other then that it's very fun.
I've played here before and the course is in great shape and this is the best value for a course of this caliber anywhere that I play
I play 2 times a week and I've played here probably 6 times I play the Jackson Course and have played the Jones course at Rock Barn they are both good courses but I prefer the Jackson it just fits me better and I also like Brushy Mountian
Tough little course
A very undulating course overall; lots of hills and slopes and not too many flat lies. You have to layup on most par 5's unless you're driving 280 and or can hit your 3-5 wood long and straight. Par 4's are longer and most of my second shots were around 150-170 out. Par 3's were the easiest part of the course I think. Greens were beautiful, very soft, and had good speed. If you're not in the fairway; you're in trouble on this course as you can lose your ball in the first cut because it drops down into this grass. Forget about getting a good shot on the ball! Overall very nice course if you want to be challenged. I will go again!
the course has a great layout.
When I arrived, the attendant appeared disinterested. I saw players paying, and told to take cart and go to the range. When I payed for range balls, I was told to drive our car to the range. My wife and noticed a difference in his attitude.
Courses cant be scared of golfers!
Perhaps, its because I am getting older but I have little patience with people that dont play "ready" golf.
Why cant courses ask people when they check in, do you play "ready" golf? If they say no, give them a few pointers to speed up their play. For example, if you just hit your best drive ever 240 yards, its HIGHLY unlikely you are going to hit the green on the Par 5 from 260 yards. Lay up!
This wasnt the slowest experience Ive ever had at Fox Den, but it came close. The ranger was out, but it was evident to me that nothing was said to the slower players. We waited on every shot on the back 9.
I dont play as often as I would like for the simple fact that people play WAY too slow for me.
Great value
Rained a lot prior to play, but course drained well. Course was in great shape, especially the greens. Rough was penalizing. This was the first time I played the course and I was pleasantly surprised with the layout and the condition. I will definitely play again.
Challenging course
This course was challenging for a novice golfer like myself. The first few holes were fine, but after the 6th hole it became quite apparent I would need to bring more balls to continue playing!! Had a great time though. Will return!
Greens were superb, great value
We played late morning on a Friday and it only took 4.25 hours to play. The greens were plush and smooth. Best I have played in the area this year. My only disappointment was the driving range and the range balls. That kept it from being a 5 star.
very nice course
Very nice and maintaned course beautiful lady's working there selling beer and snacks
A FAIR VALUE FOR UNDER $30
Greens are fair at best. Don't expect a staff that is going to greet you with open arms. Range balls are horrible not one that was the same make or model. mostly scuffs and cuts. Fair layout with a variety of holes. I would call it maintained but not proactively cared for. Slowly deterreating
Great Shape for such a Wet Day
Played this course many times and it has always been in great shape. Played 04/29/2013 just after a significant rain fall and was pleasantly surprised at the condition of the course. Although there are several low lying holes, course was still very playable after all that rain. Greens are awesome as always.
