Fox Hollow Golf Club
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.

Thank you for your review! We hope to see you again sometime soon.
Multiple Elevation Changes
Course has multiple elevation changes . You will rarely have a flat lie. The fairways are mainly thin & hard. Greens are in good shape & run fast with some sharp breaks. Course needs to have more yardage markers. I believe the course is over priced unless you get a hot deal from Golf Now.
Thanks for your review. We appreciate your honest feedback about the course and your experience here. If you have any other comments or concerns, or would like to continue this conversation, please reach out to us at info@foxhollowgc.com.
Keep it in the short stuff
First time played course, not terribly long but fine example of target golf, being 1st time not exactly sure where targets were. Rough not necessarily high but thick and gnarly. Slight thunderstorm passed through for possibly 20 minute delay but 4 some completed in 4 hours. Def worth trying again
Thank you for your 4 star review and feedback. We appreciate your patience with the weather as we know it can be challenging with pace of play. Hope to see you back again soon.
Course Play
excellent course greens extremely fast and challenging.
Thanks for your 4 star rating and review. We appreciate the feedback and hope to see you back again soon.
Rough really?
I’m going to cut some slack because we have had so much rain. However the height of the rough was almost unplayable. If you want to keep the course moving you need to cut it back. I like the course but it needs some TLC.
Thank you for your honest review and feedback. We appreciate your understanding in the height of the rough. As weather permits, we do as much as we can to keep the course fun and enjoyable for our golfers while considering whether or not maintenance in a certain area will damage the course. Our agronomy team is hard at work making sure that the course conditions are the best that they can be. If you'd like to continue this conversation, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at info@foxhollowgc.com. Thank you.
Thank you for your 4 star review. We're glad you enjoyed playing at our course and hope to see you back again soon.
Not worth the Trip
I only had read good things about this course but I was highly disappointed. The staff in the pro shop was cold to us, and I think took offense to us booking a hot deal on Golf Now. We paid 45$ and that would definitely be the max for the course. Greens were inconsistent and the tee boxes were choppy.
I would come out and play again if I could play it for 45$ or under. Way nicer courses in the area for comparable pricing. The area around the greens were pretty tough too with half dirt/mud and half grass.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Our pro shop staff are very attentive and normally receive rave reviews.
As for the course, you probably played after one fo the several 2-in rain storms that flooded us this spring. I think you will find things much improved now. Our course has also been getting excellent reviews for its conditions.
On you next visit please ask to speak with me, Matt, before you tee off. Thanks.

Nice golf course with good weather
Fox Hollow is a good semi-private course that you should not miss. The layout is good. The course condition always in good shape.

Ball strikers couse
Great day fun course with a lot of turns and angles and elevation changes.
Thanks for your review. We are so glad you had a great day at our course. We hope to see you again soon!
Not my favorite
The course wasn’t in great condition, lots of weeds on fairways, greens hadn’t been aerated but had whole punched throughout. Don’t love the layout, lots of greens are uphill and blind.
Thanks for playing Fox Hollow and I appreciate your feedback. I beg to differ, there are hardly any weeds on the fairways, I toured it this morning with our superintendent and the fairways are weed free. The roughs do have the normal springtime Dandilions, which we will spray out now that the wet weather has passed.
We did recently vent the greens with a "needle tine" which is vital to green health but does not impact the ball's roll.
I can't do anything about the layout, but hope yo have you back soon - we are installing taller green flags on the two holes with blind uphill approaches so that you can better gauge your shot.

Fox Hollow Vol 1
Fox Hollow has an interesting layout. A mix of grip it & RIP it and target golf hikes. Most of the greens are relatively small and undulated. Hilly in alot of spots brings the challenge quotient up. If you're going to play, pick the right tees for your game. The staff is friendly and accommodating . Worth my drive from NYC
Thanks for your review. We value your feedback and are glad our staff met your expectations. Hope to see you again soon!
