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.

First play of the year

We played for the first time this year. The course was in great shape considering it is March 16. Pace of play was fine finished in 4 hrs. We play again soon.

Nice Challenge

Fox Hollow is a great course that I like to frequent. For playing an the end of November the course was in great shape (tee boxes were excellent). Was wide open so pace of play was not an issue.

Need every club in the bag

Old school style course. Small greens that are very fast and hilly. Pin placement can be brutal.any were tucked in corners. Course is par 70. 6 par 3s. Bunkers are almost all hard sand which is always the case when I have played here. Besides the traps I think the course is pretty well maintained overall. It’s a bit overpriced for the quality of the course IMO.

Fun course in excellent condition

This was our second time playing Fox Hollow. Both very enjoyable outings. Pace of play in the morning was excellent and the course conditions were great! The course layout is challenging given that some of the greens are lightning fast. We will return for sure.

First and last time

Never seen a course so backed up in my life. Took an hour to play 2 holes. Group behind me had about 12 people. Always had three groups in each hole. I don’t know how the owners/rangers can let this happen. Will never come back.

Fast greens. Good tee boxes and bunkers. Fairways cut short and rough was manageable. Staff did a good job with leaves. Always a good round at fox hollow.

Unique Layout

With 3 par 3's on each nine, its a strange layout but still gives you the standard two par 5's on each nine. Couple blind shots to deal with so riding ahead on certain holes is highly recommended. Got a steal for $35 including cart to play in the morning as a single added on to a threesome. Fun course but difficult if you're not striking it well.
