About
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.

March Golf in January
Course is a challenging par 70 plenty of variety but nice flow too. Totally walkable. The greens make you earn par. $44 cart included not a bad deal to be playing in mid Jan.
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!
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We are glad to hear you enjoyed our course. We greatly appreciate your feedback, and hope to see you back again soon.
Roger, thank you so much for your 5-star review! We are happy to see you enjoyed our course. We appreciate your feedback, and hope to see you back soon.
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.
Thank you so much for your review! We are happy you decided to stop by and enjoyed our course. We value your feedback, and hope to see you back soon.
Really nice course, layout. In very good shape. 6 par 3's, 2 over water. Fun course

Thank you for your 5 star review. Looking forward to having you at the facility again sometime soon.
Stellar
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.
Thank you so much for your 5 star review. We're committed to providing the best customer service and we're glad you were delivered just that. We hope to see you back again soon.
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.
Thank you for your review and honest feedback about the facility. We are glad that you enjoyed the service provided to you by our staff and the course conditions. The track is strategic and tactful making it a challenge for golfers of all skill levels. We hope that you come back and visit us again.
Beautiful course with friendly staff
This course is beautiful and in private-club condition.
The staff is very nice to any golfer regardless you are the member or booking with discount price from golfnow or teeoff.com.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your kind words about our staff and course conditions. Looking forward to having you back again soon.
Not worth the money
Playing this course for 90 dollars even on a Sunday morning is ridiculous. I will never be playing there again. 2 or 3 of the greens were in good condition and the rest were loaded with ball marks and just plain beat up. It is an absolute sin that this course is 90 dollars at any time. On top of that our round took 5 hours. Don’t waste your time here. Just another reminder of why I chose to join a private club.
I see that you live near Harrisburg, PA. Are you sure you did not play the Fox Hollow GC in Quakertown, PA and not the one in NJ?
If the NJ one, I'm sorry that the course was not up to your expectations. We have heard mostly great reviews this summer on the condition of the greens. Just the other day when Baltusrol was aerating their greens some members came by played and said it was in excellent shape. Ball marks are always something we remind golfers to fix, even at the private clubs we also own and operate. I hope you give us a second chance.

Absolutely gorgeous
One of the best courses in the area
Not so long but very reasonable at 6300 yards for the blue Ts
Using Golfnow you can get good deals
Carts are modern and new
Amenities seems very nice
A tough test
The elevations make this a very tough track
There are few flat lies even when hitting the fairways.
Balls tend to run off into the rough even when you think you are in the fairway
Many blind shots as well throughout the course
The greens ran fast. Undulated greens are quite
difficult
Nice day out
Solid option for N.J. public course. Tee boxes and greens in really good shape for late August. Not crowded. Fair prices on food and drinks. Cool bartenders.
My favortie course
Best course in my opinion in the area. Always kept in great shape. Staff is great!! Definitely my #1 choice to play!
Horrible pace of play
I wish I received a refund. There was no ranger to speed up play. We were stuck behind a one some playing behind a one some as they were practicing for a tournament. We kept complaining that they should combine to play so that we could speed up play. They were inconsiderate and would not join groups. I hope I receive a refund as the experience we had as well as the people behind us was horrible.
Hello, thank you for your review. Please email us at info@foxhollowgc.com to further discuss your experience. Thanks!

Thank you so much for your review. We value your feedback, and hope to see you back soon. Have a great day!
Rolling hills, water, good views, fun to play. Public course
I was surprised that I’d not heard of this course before. A very enjoyable round. Lots of hole variety, scenery, hills and water. Would be a challenge to walk, which I didn’t do this time. Fairways and tee boxes were in good shape, tough long at times. Greens in shape but a bit slow and pretty consistent. Traps were better than average for a public course. It’s a par 70, but the par 3’s from the blues were a challenge.
That’s about says it. I really enjoyed it and recommend you try it.
