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.

Always

Always enjoy the course and the challenges each hole offers. Thanks for doing what it takes to make this a pleasant round - clean cart, well groomed grounds, clear of leaves. But the rough is tough!!! Stay on fairways! 8-)

Very nice course

The course was in very good condition. The layout is challenging but fair, although the rough was thick and made hitting fairways a premium. Would definitely play again and recommend to others.

Very enjoyable. Good greens - pretty fast. Only complaint is that I wish it was slightly longer and a par 72. Otherwise, a very good course.

Good day.

Course was in very good condition. Fairways and greens were very nice. Rough was thick and green. Majority of tee boxes were in good shape. Sand traps were in good condition, except very hard after a soaking rain. Great price for two golfers on tee-off.com. Nice variety of holes, uphills-downhills and a few doglegs. Play the course if you get a chance.

Good luck putting

The conditions on the course were very good. There's some great views when you're up high on the tee box with a downhill fairway.

I haven't played this course before but the greens were SO FAST and the hole placement on many of them were punishing. Definitely the fastest greens I've played all year and lots of slopes. There were several holes where the flag was placed exactly on the apex of a slope so if you didnt have the straight uphill putt, you were going to have a very hard time. The most 3-putts i've had in a round this season was two or three. This course left me with SEVEN 3-putts. So if you enjoy the challenge on the green, then this is for you.

Solid public track

Played on a Saturday AM expecting a slow pace but was pleasantly surprised. We didn’t wait on any holes and finished in just over 4 hours. Course layout was fun. Conditions were good for a public course, but a few dead/bare spots on some greens. Would play here again.
