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.

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.

Good Course, good value

I've played Fox Hollow for many years. It's a good layout with some challenging and some forgiving holes. The things I like best are: 1) Pace of Play - the starter does a very good job of separating the tee times to allow a good pace of play; 2) Greens - the best part of the course itself is the quality of the greens. They did just aerate several of them recently so they were a bit slower and bumpier than normal, but this maintenance will allow the greens to stay in great shape going forward. I wouldn't recommend walking it unless you like a challenge as there are a number of elevation changes and many side hills making walking awkward. Carts are strong (gas powered) and work well and there's a cart service person who takes cards as well as cash and a call in phone number for food at the turn. All in all, Fox Hollow is a very good value for the money.

Fox hollow

Course in very good shape very narrow very hilly even though the greens were just aerated they were in excellent shape now bad parts if you don’t know the course it’s very difficult lotsa narrow fairways with tall grass around fairways to keep the ball from rolling into the trees hit a great tee shot and it hits the hill and ball disappears and finally $99 on the weekend definitely not worth it

Fun 18 at Fox

Great course condition with very nice course amenities. Pace of play started a little slow but staff did a good job keeping everyone moving at the turn. Started a little late but not unreasonable.

Course was challenging and fun. Will be back!

Short Local course

Fairways r very hard due to dry weather. The greens are inconsistent (mostly slow) because of different cuts. Many pins are on slopes.

Perfectly maintained

I have to give great credit to Casey the course superintendent for an incredible job of managing this course. They haven't had much rain. The greens and fairways were in perfect condition. He obviously cares about what he does and it shows. It was truly a pleasure to play. The greens ran true and fairways were cut perfectly.

$100 for bare fairways and a 5.5 hour round

Greens are the only part of the course that are in remotely good condition. Fairways are dead and bare. Tee times are packed in 5 minute intervals. Insanely slow play, even though there are multiple signs reminding that pace of play is 14 minutes per hole. No rangers on site. Will not be back

Sunday Slowness

Round was painfully long. Terrible pace of play. The greens are pretty beat down from the lack of rain and heat. The staff on the other hand were unbelievably nice. Incredibly welcoming and warm from the minute we dropped our bags. Wish the pace was faster, always tough on weekends though.
