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.

Great First Play

Played today for the first time. Course was pretty much in great shape, bunkers were a bit hard. Cart girl came around frequently. Burgers at the grille afterwards were a hit. We'll definitely plan to be back next year.

Great course!

i played today and enjoyed the course very much. Was in excellent condition. we finished in 4 hours and 15 minutes which is decent for a saturday. I believe the starters name was Alex, he was super helpful and gave my group tips on the course which was great! The man in the proshop was a little rude when i asked if its cart path only today. Besides that it was an excellent day!

Pace of play ruined overall game

This was my first time playing the course (Links to Canyon). Overall I give it only 3 stars due to two main issues:

1) range is still mats only? Please!!

2) had to leave after 14 holes to get to my anniversary dinner; those 14 took 4 hrs 15 min.

5 hour rounds during the week become quite frustrating, especially given the price and the range mats. The course was beautifully managed, though, and only a couple gimmicky holes.

Tough greens

Course has a fun, challenging layout.t from tee to green and In very good shape. Finished the round in 4 hrs. Staff was friendly, the ranger made multiple trips around However, the greens were ridiculous. They were in good shape and fast, but at times impossible. Only about 4 greens were flat, The rest you were putting on a steep hill. A missed 5 foot Putt could slide by the hole and end up 30 feet away. Be prepared for 3 putts on most holes.

3 hours 10 mins to play 11 holes

Pace of play was horrible today which is unfortunate because the course was in great shape. Didn’t see a Ranger the entire day on the course. We finally quit when we got to the 12 hole and we would of been the third group on the tee box.

Fun Times

Used Tee Off to do my homework before selecting this course for a client event. Focused on ratings and reviews aside from distance my guests would travel to play. Yes, we saw bugs, yes the course conditions were not prestine. However, for the money and experience (course layout, speed of play and staff experience) i would definitely come back here and highly recommend a round with friends, colleagues and clients. Although they didn't have pickles for the burger LOL the food and service afterwards was exceptional.

A Great Day

I ventured out as a single and joined two gentlemen, one of whom was Richie, a ranger for the course enjoying a day off. A very nice course with several very difficult hole and green combinations.
