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.

excellent conditions, great course
This was a great golf course that I will play again. The conditions all around were some of the best I've seen. Greens were fast - rolled very true.
Only issue was that three of the greens had too much slope - but other than that it was among the best course conditions I've been on in a while.
Put on your hiking boots!
Fox Hollow is a very well kept course that I enjoyed playing. All of the hills and blind shots were quite challenging, but overall a good experience. The greens, while in excellent condition, were very difficult to play, as the slope was killer of our scores. Even 4-5 foot putts could turn into disasters, as your ball rolls 20 feet away. Next time we will know and I look forward to playing at Fox Hollow again.
Well worth the money
Great course. We were very impressed with the layout and the condition of the course was great. Very friendly staff. I rented clubs, they were a bit pricy and a bit mismatched. Overall A+
Skirted through the Rain
My buddy and I really liked this course. Somewhat challenging but not overly taxing. Played from the whites because we were not familiar with the course. Finished in just over 3 hours on a Saturday afternoon, but it was threatening rain all day and that probably kept people away. Would go back at the Golfnow price of $55 per including cart anytime, but the course conditions warrant the higher regular price tag.
What a butiful coure
This course is an absolute gem. It is in the best condition of any course I have played in New Jersey. I played on a day that it was lightly raining and it was empty bit there were no draining issues or flooding. The tee boxes were perfect and the greens were immaculate. There are a lot of hills and a lot of challenging blind shots with toughly placed hazards. It makes for a great play on a great course.
Value depends on the price
For the listed retail price of $105, I don't think this course would be worth it, but we got it for more than half off, which made it a steal. It's a formerly fully private course that's now "semi private" (so basically public), it seems to be trying to find its price point. It was really, really empty, I mean so empty my group didn't see another group the entire day on the course, which I thought was unusual for a Tuesday after a holiday. The place was beatufiul, though, excellent design, lots of up and downs. There are six par 3's, which might bother some I guess. Fairly challenging, but not overly penal, either. The place was really well kept, nice and green even after a very long dry stretch. It'd be great in the fall, too.
The only downside is that this area of New Jersey is really in this weird inacessible spot, like unless you live there, it takes you an hour to get there. Strange!
Needs work
I was excited to play this course as I had read good things. I was disappointed. The staff was friendly and the course looked good from afar but that was it. The bunkers were abysmal, no sand, hard and not maintained. I was in a fairway bunker that was like concrete but it had moss growing on it. The greens were punched about a week prior but not consistent from hole to hole. The worst part was the wet conditions. It was from over watering which actually started again while I was playing. I actually had a pitch shot splash on a green, walked up and it was like a wet sponge. Add to that the fact that the group in front of us was terribly slow, had 2 holes open in front of them, never waived us up and there was no ranger to be found. For what I paid ($67) I felt cheated.
Not worth it
They had just aerated to greens, and didn't inform us ahead of time. This took away from the expierence but the layout was also poor. Would not go back.
Must Play Course
I have played a lot of golf this summer and this was the first time playing Fox Hollow. First I'll say I don't see how it's rated only 3.8 stars. That's a huge understatement. This is one of the best courses I've played in NJ ever. If you're a 10 or less handicap play from the back tees and it'll be more challenging and enjoyable. The condition of the course is the best of what I've played this year out of anywhere in the country. Given our summer conditions I felt like I was at a country club of the highest caliber.The views are great from the tees. Everything but 1 or 2 holes plays with elevated tees and either uphill or downhill 2nd and 3rd shots. True mountain golf at it's best. The course is fairly open yet challenging. All types of players will enjoy this place. The only thing that I could barely even complain about is that the greens were aerated a week ago and I assume slower than normal. But they rolled true and were no issue. I can just imagine how challenging they will be when fully back and cut faster.
Good course
Great course in great condition. Glad they have opened up to the public. Will go back in a heartbeat.
Nice track
good course,monocle be needed, interesting layout. Should cost 15% lessq
Beautiful rolling hills of Northern New Jersey
One of my favorite courses here and GolfNow makes it a great value. It's enjoyable from the white tees and challenging from the blues.
Good Deal
Course is private but allow some outside play or use "Golf Now". Played this course 6 times in the last 2 years and it is always enjoyable. Course conditions are very good. There is a challenge on just about every hole. Its important where to place your tee ball for second shot.
Very disappointing
Very disappointing day of golf. First problem there was no rangers/starters on the course. So the group behind us was on the tee box while we were teeing off. Second problem was the pace of play. A course the should have only taken three and a half to fours hours to play took five. There was a 20 minute wait every hole. Third problem was he bugs. The bugs were terrible. They were always flying into my face and were really annoying. Despite all the negatives I still managed to shoot my usual 67.
Great Rate - Nice Course
Course was moderate in difficulty ... some holes require local knowledge - after couple of rounds... could see strokes saved in a few places ... Course was in excellent shape -
Perfect place
Great course very challenging. I wish they had food prior to 11:30am.
Good Course and Value
Fox Hollow offers a scoreable, relatively short course, but there is big-time danger lurking on some holes. The par 3's are all challenging and with the hills, some shots are blind. The greens were in good shape considering that the foursome in front of us never fixed a ball mark. They also have some good canting to them, so be careful, especially when you are above the hole.
Good shape, good value
This is a nice course that I will play again. The only downside I could note was the greens were a little boring. Mostly just placed on the side of hills with big back to front slants that got a little old. Otherwise was a nice round
