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 Course Conditions & Friendly Staff
I’ve played at Fox Hollow a few times, and it’s always a great experience. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making every visit enjoyable right from the start. The course conditions are consistently excellent, with the greens always rolling true and smooth—some of the best I’ve played on. The layout is both engaging and fun, offering a great mix of challenge and playability. I'm looking forward to my next round!
Great Shape for October
We had a couple of slow foursomes ahead of us but since the weather was nice it was still a pleasant round. The fairways in greens have held up well for this late in the year. This is one of my top 5 favorite layouts in New Jersey.
Fun yet challenging round at Fox Hollow
We enjoying our morning round at Fox Hollow. The course is kept in excellent condition. The greens were very fast at the beginning of the round, which made play challenging. First time playing there, so I wasn't sure how to handle some of the blind shots. The course makes you play strategically, which is enjoyable.
Excellent day of gilf
The fairways were recently punched but other than that course was in excellent condition. Greens were quick and challenging. Weather was perfect for golfing. Overall a good experience
Great Layout - Still in Good Shape
The course is still in good shape - fast greens and good looking fairways. The pace was below average, though. We had a foursome on front of us who spent 10 minutes on each green. We told the Ranger on the 7th hole and it didn't help. It's still worth it for the money, though.
Expensive - Poor condition
I was excited to play there expecting a top notch course for that price. Very disappointed with the course and pace of play. Ballmarks all over the greens, fairways in poor condition, tee boxes were very beat up and not level. We were asked how the pace of play was and we said very slow and they didn't do anything about it. Why ask? Over 5 hours to play a round.
Nice Course
Course play time was good.
Course was in good shape.
Greens were some what challenging
Rough was deep so keep it on the fairway
Nice course, good layout but overpriced
Played this course as a foursome with a Saturday 1:00 tee time and the pace of play was good (4:15 min round). Our group were all 10-12 handicaps. Course conditions were average with well maintained greens and fairways but a few of the tee boxes needed work. We got a great deal on golf now for $60/player when the average cost on a Saturday afternoon is $100 per player, which I feel is overpriced a bit. Overalll I would recommend trying it out at least once.
In rough shape
This course used to be one of the nicer ones in the areas but it has seen better days. You can play nicer kept courses for a cheaper price.
