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.

Excellent!

Course is in great shape overall except couple of holes that appeared to have some water damage from the storms. It is well kept from the Tee boxes to the Greens all the way. Would love to go back for another round before the season is over!

Fun Day & Fox Hollow

In fairness to Fox Hollow, we played days after a hurricane which washed out most of the sandtraps so my average condition rating is as a result. However, the course has a great layout with plenty of fun water shot par 3's and long 5's. I'd play here again without hesitation!

Thanks for your feedback. No, it has not been sold and most reviews have been overwhelmingly positive of the golf course conditions and food. We've been told the greens are some of the best in the state and our new chef is receiving rave reviews. We continue to try and improve our service staff - as with many businesses we are having a hard time finding restaurant servers and on the day you played we had some very new people. We hope to see you back.

Not Worth the Time, Effort Or Expense

My husband and I agreed that this was the worse round ever. The pace of place was so horrible we gave up after 16 holes. Did not see a ranger all day (Spoke to staff member when we returned the cart and he said the ranger left early.) The course was not in great shape and tee boxes were all dug up. Another issue, there is restaurant onsite which does not see to want business. Restaurant closes at 6pm. When we got there at 4:30PM, we were politely told that if we wanted to order food, we should do it now since the cook was leaving shortly. We spent $89 per person for the most unenjoyable round of golf in our lives.

Thanks for sharing your feedback so that we can improve. Staffing the restaurant has been an issue, as with many restaurants, and we have limited our hours to address this. We would love to stay open longer. That said, at 4:30 they should have accommodated you. I will follow up with our team right away.

Please email me at matt@mstargolf.com, I'd like to discuss this further. Thanks.
