The Players Club at Foxfire Golf Club

My second time playing there with family and I introduced an out of town friend to the course. Everyone loved it.

Beautiful course layout- course and grounds could use some repair but overall impressed with the layout and green complexes. Mix of challenging and easier holes. Was disappointed in pace of play, seems like there is no enforcement of pace or groupings. By the 8th hole we were 3 groups deep at the tee box, and ended up calling it a day after nine. When driving back to the clubhouse, we ended up passing a foursome that was clearly holding everyone up. No one else for more than three holes after them. Behind them, multiple groups on each hole. Hesitant to return as I do not want to wait 20 mins at each hole to simply tee off. If there were better pace management or spaced groupings this course is a great one.

Although I played this course after a hard rain and had to deal with path only rules, the soppy conditions weren't what dragged this review down. There was a general feeling about this place losing its luster that reminded me very much of one of two things. Either the owners aren't spending much on upkeep because it costs a lot to do so, or they're preparing to sell and no longer care. The carts are actually new (which is one little saving grace), but the paths and parking lot is in complete shambles. It didn't help that the we're plenty of spots where I have to drive through flooded areas, but there wasn't a smooth ride to be found anywhere. The course itself is still pretty nice. Can't really complain there. The rest, including the clubhouse, is like a trip back to the 1970's and not a dime spent in upkeep since. This was my second round here this year, and both times they had the pro shop closed in the lower level. I find this annoying since I wanted to buy a new glove. Anyway. I'm not saying stay away. This is one of the best course layouts in the area, although it's getting harder to say it's worth the trip if you're more than 20 minutes away.

not a ton of shade on the course, but i suppose that means you stayed in the fairways so oh well. good round

Value is great. They have a driving range to warm up before a match, though half was closed and the tee boxes were not in good shape. They have new golf carts that are very nice. However, the car paths are quite bad: many pot holes and rough areas. We were told they're being replaced this fall.

Sand traps were fair. There's a nice half way house after #8 that's accommodating with food, drinks, and a restroom. Overall, it's fine for the cost if you're just looking to get out and play 18.

Still my favorite public course in central Ohio. Tough but fair course. Sandtraps need some work but the rest of the course is in great shape. Always enjoy my rounds at Foxfire.

The superintendent and his crew are doing a great job. Course is probably in the best shape it’s been in the last 5-7 years imo. Greens are rolling good. Staff was friendly as always.

The Players Club at Foxfire has perhaps my favorite layout of any public course in central Ohio. Very challenging, but fair. I played from the blues at just under 6800 yards. Bent grass everywhere, the tee boxes were in great shape, the greens were fast, and had lots of undulation creating fun, challenging putts. Bunkers were strategically placed where they actually were a hazard. Fairways were very well kept. I can’t wait to go back. I can’t believe it took me this long to get there. Shame on me.

Awful! If you want to play a 6+ hour round I would then recommend. It was by far the worst course I have placed in Columbus. Yes I understand it is Muni golf but it was ridiculous. Between 8 and 9 alone where the Turn is, the group in front of us was all sitting at a picnic table eating a sandwich because there was a group on the green, a group in the fair way and then 3 groups waiting to tee off. When I called the club house, no one answered. Then I drove ahead to see what the issue was and there was NO ONE for 2 holes. Ranger was needed to push play but they were no where to be find like the rest of the staff. Course was in below average shape. Wouldn’t recommend at all.

For a Columbus-area public course, Foxfire is a tough master. The course is in good condition right now and the holes are quite interesting. With the exception of a few mid-round par 4s the course is pretty tight. Lost balls, water, and OB await you if you miss by much on your drive. Green designs are excellent with the greens rolling well and true. But you can also score with good shots. Definitely hit the range first. Staff was very friendly and helpful, pace of play was fine although we did tee-off a little late.
