Foxfire Golf Club boasts 36 holes of championship golf, the Foxfire Course and the Players Club Course. The Players Club was added in 1993.The layout is a deft combination of traditional American golf and traditional British links design that provides the perfect complement to the original. The golf course is the more challenging of the two, but not by much. The layout features narrow fairways lined with trees and water hazards on eight holes. There are three particularly tricky carries over water. Strategically placed bunkers and contoured mounding also treacherously lurk by the greensides. The par-4 16th hole is the course's signature. This demanding hole plays uphill through trees to a green that is guarded by five bunkers. The most memorable hole though, might be the par-5 eighth, which features the longest sand bunker in the Midwest.

First off let me say it's great to see they are putting in work on their bunkers adding new sand still a work in progress though. I golfed here last year and was sad to see how badly run down the course was and is. Some of the fairways need work along with a few greens tee boxes are in good shape. From what I can tell someone new must be in charge hopefully they are spending the money to bring back this once excellent course the players club however $42 is a lot for the condition of the course. Please get new hole plaques with yardage and maybe the layout of the hole that would be great because it's not 2015 old and faded hole plaques are not good

Good course, horrible technology.

2 times now they have botched tee times that were booked on golf now, throwing a serious wrench in the ole weekend plans. Incredibly frustrating to book a solid prime time tee time a week in advance, only to have it cancelled with less than a days notice. FIGURE IT OUT FOXFIRE ITS 2020

Great day of golf

quick pace as everyone has their own cart. Course in very good condition, greens were fast. Only issue was sand traps, luckily I didn't hit in one, but they haven't added sand yet. Overall great course design, challenging holes and greens made it a fun round

Awesome layout, in much better shape than past

Incredibly fun course to play. Layout is amazing. With fewer people playing because of COVID and the rain we’ve gotten, the course was very green, with few signs of the fungus that had been there in the past. The bunkers were still trash, but we saw some crews working on them while we were playing, so hopefully they’ll be in good shape soon.

Great course

The Players Club is one of my favorite courses in the area. Challenging and well kept. Plus, everyone in the clubhouse are always super nice and accommodating. Can’t wait to play the course again.

Once good but not anymore

Few years ago played here (player club). Impressive with the course layout, very fun and challenge. But today the poor course condition made me change mind. Very bad fairway with so much dry and spare patchesZ. The greens are little better but still quite fews with spare sports even looked like with fungus. The problem is the greens are not consistent. Some fast some slow. But the location of the pins are still fun. Service and hospitality is still good. Only complaint is on the halfway service ( close to 8th green) was closed today. Since the 9th hole and 10th hole are not at the club house, we could not get drinks or foods. Overall not recommending to play there now but maybe check out next year if the weather is more friendly to golf course.

Layout makes for a challenging, fun time.

I've been playing at Players Club and Foxfire for several years now, and it had really been hit hard by lack of rain. They told me a month ago that the water had been out so the fairways were not at their best. I played it just this weekend, and the fairways in just 2 weeks, have really come back! The layout on the back 9 of Players Club is one of the most challenging courses I play, and truly was beautiful when you are in the upper 60s with sun. The greens have been really great all year, and the same can be said for this past weekend. I am still waiting on the bunkers to be upgraded, but it seems they are really bringing back the fairways for Fall.

Overall: great time, tough to play, and hope to play again in a week or so.

One word description, rough.

This used to be a fantastic layout, but now it’s just a tired, worn-out shell of what it used to be. I’m guessing they are going to sell this course also for a housing development, too bad.

Only the Foxfire course is in the process of being sold. We are working on The Players Club. The wet spring then the drought along with our water pump going caused problems with our fairways. We are reseeding and fertilizing the fairways this next week. The course should be back in shape in a couple of weeks.

What a shame

I grew up and Columbus and always wanted to play this course. I had played Foxfire a couple times, the last around 10 years ago, and remember looking at the Players Club, seeing how nice it was, and hoping to get on it. I now live out of state and took a trip back home to play 54 holes in 2 days to show them Columbus public golf, thinking the Players Club would be perfect to show off my city. Needless to say, what a mess. The layout is there, but it needs a TON of TLC. I agree with other reviews stating it’s basically abandoned. Bunkers are not kept, fairways dead (we agreed to play LCP), etc. So sad to see. Spend $40 elsewhere until this course can be returned to its glory. (Of note, we played Turnberry the next day for about the same price and it was in the best shape I had ever seen it in).

Couse needs better maintenance!

The course was beautiful the first several years it was open, I had not played there in quite a few years and was very disappointed in the run down condition I found today. The fairways were nearly void of grass and the bunkers had no sand and due to recent rains were just mud. The greens has a fungus in some areas and showed no care by the course crew or players. The course needs lots of care, I would not recommend this course.

Poor Pace of Play and conditions.

Time to write off this course for good. Tee time was at 8:14a; five groups were already backed up on the first tee, we didn’t tee off until 8:50a. After an almost 3hr front 9 my group decided to save our days and leave. Conditions are poor, a ton of dead spots on the fairways, however the greens are decent.

Too bad, this place was great a few years ago.

Absolutely the worst course conditions that we’ve played in many years. Was more dirt than grass on most fairways. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Fall from grace

This course has been noted as one of the better courses in Columbus for quite some time. Sad to say, that is impossible based on yesterday’s round. Fairways were almost nonexistent due to disease, lack of water, or consistent seeding year over year. Greens weren’t even in good shape.

Almost a six hour round. No Marshall to maintain pace of play. Course over booked. Not a good operation either.

Simply no redeeming qualities on the day. The layout had potential and you could tell that the course may have been great back in the day, but yesterday I spend $40 and six hours that I really wish I had back.
