The Players Club at Foxfire Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Course in serious disrepair
In years past, this was "the course to play" in the area. Sadly, it is in significant decline. The course was wet due to weather, but every aspect of the course was poor. The sand traps were overgrown and haven't been touched in months (large weeds, compacted dirt, etc). Rumor has it the course and its land was recently sold to a real estate developer. That might explain the complete lack of care this course is now getting. Stay away, stay far away.
Had an enjoyable round. Due to rain earlier in the week, course was very wet. Cart path only. Nothing the course could do about it. Weather was cool, mid fifties, so course was not busy. I was practicing for upcoming league, so no complaints. Even though course was very wet, the greens were in their normal condition.
So much potential
This course has so much potential to be amazing and I remember it being that way a couple years ago. Today though was in awful shape. The bunkers are water logged, cart path is destroyed, rough and fairway weren’t in the best of conditions and carts were leaking. The layout and look of this course is top 5 in Columbus and would have no issues paying $50+ for this course if it was upkept better, but $44 for a amazing layout that isn’t maintained as water was everywhere, from water logged fairways to lakes in the bunkers, just not worth it in my books
Great Layout, Great Conditions except...
I love this course. The layout is fantastic and can get very challenging on a few holes. The condition (grass) of the course was decent except it looked like they didn’t mow the tee boxes and aprons all weekend. Very furry! The bunkers are a disgrace. Not sure what exactly is in them but it appears to be dirt instead of sand. They were practically cement the day I went which makes playing a traditional bunker shot impossible as you cannot dig in and hit 2 inches behind the ball without blading it 20 yards beyond the green. Some bunkers even had visible tree roots popping out of them. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE fix the bunkers!!!!!
Great but for the pace
Very nice course. Laid out well, generally good condition except for the bunkers which were a disaster. All in all, it would have been an enjoyable place to play if it wasn't for the pace. Playing at a course like this on a Saturday afternoon at 4pm, one would expect to be able to play consistently. Not the case here. It took an hour to play 3 1/2 holes. Ultimately, we had to skip 5 holes just to get ahead of things and finish or else we wouldn't have finished in time before it got dark. Really disappointing for a course I was really looking forward to playing.
Respecting tee time
Overall we had a wonderful round of golf at the Players Club as we expected. However, when I booked the round on Golf Now, the tee time given to me was 9:03 am and we arrived more than 30 minutes prior. When I went to make payment, we were told our tee time was now 9:20. Not a big deal on Sunday, but this was the first time this has happened to me.
Excellent Course, Excellent Experience
A hidden gem. Friendly staff. Practice area is in good shape as was the course; tee boxes were well maintained, well irrigated and lush green fairways, adequate rough depth and soft conditioned greens. Mature trees, bunkers and water on some holes provides a challenge, but is scenic. This is a hard course to walk due to the elevation changes; better to ride. Just stay off the path; the paths contained lots of broken sections and really jeered the driver and the clubs.
Great layout.
Love the layout of the course and it’s challenging greens. Dandelions were abundant so that was a little disappointing and the reason for the 3 on conditions. Will be back though.
Good as Always!
Always fun to play The Players. Course was in very good shape, except for the bunkers (and they were busy working on those while we were playing). Always fun --- the entire course is fun but always look forward to holes #14-#16, which are an immense challenge! Go play it!
Great golf course and excellent service!
What a great way to start the season! I had an amazing time playing last friday. The fairways and greens were in great shape. Specially the greens, you can tell they take care of their greens.
I know some people commented on the quality of the bunkers last year, but it seems like they have worked on them lately, because most of them are in really good shape, there are only a few bunkers that need some work, but nothing major.
Regarding the service, what can I say.... It's top notch! This really made a difference for me. Customer service was amazing from the minute we arrived until the minute we left. I called the clubhouse when we reached hole No.9 to ask if they had a beverage cart working, we didn't expect it at 5pm, but we called and asked anyway. They didn't have the cart out at that time, but they asked us what we needed and actually took our order and delivered it to the course. You can't really beat that! Thanks to Vince for such amazing customer service. We'll be back for sure!!
Beautiful day, wish my game was the same.
All though it had rained cats and dogs that morning the course was in nice shape and the greens ran true. This is one of my favorite places to play. A wonderful course. The only negative thing I can say is that bunkers need to either be filled in or added to. Or I guess just don't hit I'm them. Still a wonderful place to play.
The fox was a great value
The bunkers were the only thing in need of attention. In fairness to the course however they had experienced a tremendous rainstorm the previous evening. This course is always a wonderful challenge and typically in wonderful shape.
Solid test
Second time I've played here. Last time was 8 years ago. I'm not sure why I haven't been back before now. Very nice layout and quite challenging. The greens and fairways were in excellent shape. Both are bent grass. Yes, the cart paths and bunkers are a disaster. Oh well. financial constraints are always an issue with rural daily fee courses. Many of the bunkers are essentially unplayable and should be considered ground under repair. The ones that are playable require a low bounce small flange 60, 62, or 64 degree lob wedge. Very hard under the small layer of sand. One of the employees said they are probably going to let some of them go to grass. If you know about the paths and the bunkers before the round you should have no other complaints,....well....except maybe for a few of the greens. Some are far too contoured and too difficult for a public course. If you played here regularly you would learn them and learn were NOT to miss on your approach shots. Where to never be long, never be left or right if the pin is in this or that position, etc., etc. Some are just too difficult for their own good and really slow down play. On the whole however, I did enjoy the course and I will return this summer for sure.

Best value in central Ohio!
Great course at a great value
The course was in great condition, except that the bunkers were all dried up and not tended to. Pace of play was great. Staff was very friendly. Greens were fast once the sun dried them up. Like the title say's, it's a great value for a tough and challenging course.
Players 18Apr16.
A fun course to play. #'s 14,15, and 16 are very tough; long with narrow fairways. Bogey is a great score on any of the three. Course has other tough holes with some easier holes mixed in. Always try to play there a couple of times every season.
Some challenging par 5's
The bunkers weren't done, awful but the course was in great shape
