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.

Very slow round, but a very nice and difficult course

We started play at 10:35…our tee time was 10:22. So right off the bat, we’re 13 minutes behind. There were signs everywhere saying keep the pace, that each hole should take you 14 minutes. So why do they make their tee times 10 minutes apart??? Course was in great shape except for one fairway under construction. It’s a very hilly course so keep that in mind. If it wasn’t for a 5+ hour round, I would have given it a higher rating.

Kind of scruffy, but a really nice layout and friendly staff

First time playing this course. It's about an hour away and I wasn't really familiar with it. It's tucked away in a quiet neighborhood and I think it probably used to be a private club because there is a defunct full lockerroom where the restrooms are. First the bad: It's late summer and it's overgrown. It's been a brutally hot summer, so I get it. If the grass is too short it probably would be fried. But, the greens are slow, the fairways are a little thick, etc. Just kind of scruffy all around.

That being said, the layout is really fun. It's a very hilly course with some great views. Because of the elevation changes it feels like it plays a lot longer than the numbers suggest on the score card. The par 3s are pretty good; I love the 18th.

The staff was really warm. The guy in the pro shop chatted with me for a little bit, and the kid outside cleaning the carts was also very friendly too, If this was (still?) a private club, it would be superb. As it is it's a really decent public option.

Friendly staff, great layout. Fun course

My wife and I played the front 9 at Fox Hollow. Staff was lovely, especially Evan in the pro shop.

Course conditions were a bit tough with a lot of patchy fairways and tee boxes a bit chewed up. Greens were in great shape.

It’s a fun layout and I look forward to returning.

The members, however, can be a bit rude.
