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.

Poor players

I came as a single and was set up with a threesome. They were very inexperienced golfers, slow, Chinese and didn’t speak English. It was not at all a pleasant round, but nice to be out in the 70° temperature. Next time I will know better and ask to be put with people who do speak English and can play.

Always a great course

We play Fox Hollow on Monday’s when my club is closed. The course remains open all year and the staff is real friendly. Me and a buddy played 18 holes today in less than 3 hours. It does not get any better than this folks for winter golf

Diverse layout.

This is a very challenging, but rewarding golf experience. There is a lot of elevation change, with scenic overlooks of the Watchung Mountains (hills) and you will need to make appropriate club selections to deal with the lifted greens and tee boxes. After playing up several long gradual slopes, you will enjoy coming back down the slopes, and have the chance to hit some really long drives. The course is quite beautiful even on a February day. There are several jogs and doglegs in this track that give risk and reward decisions. Lastly, the greens have mild to moderately challenging breaks but I found them to be fairly true and fun. I will definitely return to this club for another shot at it!

New Years Day Round

Teed up with a husband and wife twosome on New Years Day. There was just one group in front of us, but no excessive waiting and the course was relatively empty. Certain spots on the back 9 were a little big soggy (drainage issue) including a green complex or two. Then again, there was some decent rain. Played a good round and shot a solid 85, which included a birdie on 17. You're gonna use your thinking cap and most of your bag on this course. The wind made some of the holes REALLY long, and that's part of the challenge of the course. Gotta know where to place it off the tee, some of the green complexes are sheltered by trees and bunkers. Will be back again. 5 stars!

Great choice

Stopped in for a round on the way to the shore and although it was 35 degrees and 15mph winds and I was the only one out playing, the grounds crew was hard at work raking traps and blowing leaves. Course was in great shape despite the time of year. Didn’t use range or snack bar or grill. Course set up good for 1st timer. No trick holes.

I was late due to an unexpected doc visit for my daughter. They adjusted my start time and provided me and my buddy with the course layout and some great advice. Cart girl was prompt and friendly and we had a great round. No burnt grass to be seen anywhere.

Unforgiving

The course was in very nice condition and the staff were all very friendly. The rate was reasonable for a Friday afternoon. But I just didn't love the course. It's a tight, tree-lined course with OB everywhere and a few silly holes (like the first - a drive to the right half of the fairway gives you no chance of going at the tiny, well-protected green). There were also a few overgrown trees that definitely block the ideal ball flight off the tee.

I did not like the greens at all; I like quick greens that roll true and I don't mind undulating greens but fast greens that are also severely undulating is a combination I do not like... seemingly good putts can end up 10 feet below the hole because the ball just won't stop on the slope.

I wanted to like the course but I won't rush back.
