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.

Course was closed but

We arrived not knowing the course was closed. Spoke with Evan the manager and because the conditions had improved he allowed us out. I can only say this is a must play course!! Conditions were amazing and having a course to ourselves was a once and a lifetime event. We did walk and I want to be clear this is not a walking course. Please make Fox Hollow a stop on your 2024 golf adventure!!!

Excellent design and very well maintained. Greens were beautiful and the rest of the course

Is wonderful. Views add to the experience. Staff was welcoming and they have a very nice clubhouse, but I think they are missing an opportunity w/food & beverage. It’s only open part time and a better F&B service would complete the outing. Really loved the course.

Played Fox Hollow this past Saturday! Just wanted to share how wonderful the staff was and the great shape of the golf course ⛳️ ! I would play here anytime. Evan and the staff at the bar are the best 👌🏾! Very good indoor/outdoor area for your 19th hole activities.

I would highly recommend Fox Hollow.

Never Again

First negative review I’ve ever posted. Slowest round of my 8 years of playing golf. Called the Pro shop twice. One thing to play a course without a ranger, not much you can do with a slow round. This course does have one. Every time I called letting them know we are two groups behind, they answer is “we know but there is a slow group and we don’t know what to do.”

We are 4 hours into the round and have played 13 holes. I am currently waiting behind a group on a par 3 whose still at the tee box.

Last time I’ll ever play this course. Absolutely brutal. It’s to bad because it’s a beautiful course. Absolute miserable management.

Grass Great, Sand Not

Fox Hollow does an excellent job maintaining its grass whether it’s tees, fairways, rough or greens. Unfortunately though, the bunkers were neglected. 5 days since the last rain and no traps were raked. Shame on management as the traps have potential to be outstanding. Wish the fours could be lengthened as well. Too many holes forced to lay up off the tee.

Beautiful round of golf in the fall

Staff was super friendly, allowed us to go out early before our tee time because course wasn’t packed. Excellent greens that are super fast. A birdie look could turn into a boogie in no time. Landscape looks stunning in the fall! Will definitely be back!

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.
