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.

Top notch
First time playing FH in a couple of years.
Terrific conditions. Greens were fast .
No doubt this is one of the best public courses in NJ.
Good bones
It’s a solid course. The bones of it are high quality - this isn’t some decently manicured pasture course, this is a course carved into the land, with wonderful elevation changes, water hazards, bunkering, and overall views. It’s a real golf course. The reason it’s not 5 stars is because the greens are only ok. The conditioning is fine, but their structuring is mediocre, with little creativity or thoughtfulness. Many of them simply run back to front, steeply, with no additional contouring. Additionally, 4 or 5 of the pin placements were silly when I played, set on the steepest slopes in the greens, and the ball would roll back to you if you didn’t hole the putt. That’s unacceptable.
The course could be great, though never long, as the property is too small, but it’s a beautiful plot. If they could put a few million into redoing the greens, it’d be one of the best options in Jersey. Still worth playing, but slightly disappointing as most aspects are excellent, excepting the greens.
Great experience
Played on a Monday, 1st group after an outing. Cart path only. Despite days of rain, the course wasn’t too wet. Rough was thick and treacherous. Soft greens held our approach shots well. Staff was friendly and accommodating, and even came out to practice green to tell us we were next up. I’d like to thank Taylor and Doug for their help. Will definitely play again.
Cut the Rough please
They need to cut the rough down a bit...I never had such a hard time finding golf balls in my life...on 17 I hit a drive down left center of fairaway that went thru fairway by 6 inches...and I almost couldnt find it (an intermediate cut would be nice too)...it was almost as if they were hosting a US amateur qualifying event...very thick and would sink down...since my driving was a little off that day, I paid dearly...took 2 minutes of driving around on cart to find my ball on almost every hole...and I usually found it within 10 yards of where I first started looking...with that said, we waited on every shot on every hole for group ahead, as did they...so play was was almost 6 hrs.
Great Track
Came out Saturday morning to play a round. As always, I was impressed by the staff's kindness and helpfulness during check in. Teed off mid-morning right on time and finished in four hours. This even includes grabbing a delicious burger at the turn from Chef Rey. Course was in excellent condition, and I can't wait for my next round here.
chemicals in the air
the restaurant was closed at 5:00 pm and we were looking forward to this after the round. Very disappointing, exceedingly so. Also the clubhouse smelled atrocious from the cleaning chemicals and the course itself was loaded with the smell of insecticides, this along with the recent aeration of the greens certainly made the day less enjoyable on a usually great course
Nice course
Course was in great condition.
Somewhat challenging from the blue tees
Nice day on the course!
Course is in nice shape, great layout. Very accommodating staff. Good pace of play.
Tough course
Really have to know how to play when coming here. Far from a beginner’s course
Great Day
Three of us played this course for the first time. We were paired with a club member was very friendly and very helpful explaining course layout and shot selection. The course was beautiful, interesting and challenging. I would definitely play this again, and often.
Always a fun course to play
Fox Hollow is always fun and a great value. The course has a lot of elevation changes, hitting over water on a few holes, and is generally very well maintained. The staff was very friendly and even bought one of us a beer when they heard there was a birthday. Greens are fast and challenging, but Fox Hollow is always fun!
