Course Highlights
The Players Club at Foxfire earns high praise for its outstanding course layout, featuring challenging bent grass fairways, well-undulated greens, and strategically placed bunkers. Friendly staff and strong value make this a top choice among central Ohio public courses.

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.

Good course

Good course that's enjoyable to play. Very nice layout. Lots of water. Worst bunkers I've ever played in. No sand, huge rocks and packed dirt basically. Only negative is the bunkers.

Not happy

I hardly ever write any reviews of any type and when I do they are positive. Unfortunately not this time. The Players used to be a very pristine course. I was very disappointed at the conditions so I felt compelled to write this. I used to play this course years ago and it was a lot nicer. The tee boxes were in bad shape, the sand traps had hardly any sand in them. Weeds all over. I will not be back. The guy I played with felt the same. For the weather this year every course I have played has been fantastic. I don't know what has happened to this place. In closing there is a sign when you pull in that list it as 4 1/2 starts from Golf Digest. That must be very old and I think they would be disappointed if they saw it now! Sorry, but I wanted to be honest. Thank you for this opportunity.

Dog Track

I played here last year for the first time and it was absolutely beautiful. This time around, not so much.

Greens are like trampolines. If you want to stick it close, you have to hit before the green.

I lost 4 balls in the rough that landed just off the fairway because no one cares to take care of mowing the grass.

I felt like I needed to shower after attempting to play a ball out of the "sand trap" which had plants growing in them and was about the consistency of mud.

Overall a horrible course. I would rather play shamrock or Phoenix than this course. I highly recommend against playing here ever.

Course was in bad shape

I have played this course about a dozen times over the past 10 years and it has gone from a well kept course and great layout to a weed pasture. Dandelions all over, no sand in the bunkers, holes had not been moved in sometime as the cups were coming out when you would remove flagstick. I was very disappointed as this used to be a great track.

First 18 of the year

Course was in average shape. Greens were definitely decent and very playable. Fairways and rough hadn't been mowed that morning, so was a bit disappointed. I've definitely seen the course in better condition. Tee boxes are horrific! Need to be reseeded and repaired.

Overall the course was in great shape except for the bunkers which were in terrible condition. Bunkers were not raked, hard, and full of rocks. I hope they get the bunker situation taken care of soon because this course is normally in fantastic shape.

Foxfire players course

Tee boxes and sand traps were in awful condition. Fairways and greens were fair. Hot dogs and beer were the best at the halfway house. Electric carts are better than gas in my opinion. Overall, wasn't a bad play, but difficult to justify the drive for just a mediocre course.

Fall Day at Players

Great weather day for November and a great course. We took advantage of sunny fall day to play a well maintained course with tight narrow fairways, where bogies (and doubles) were plentiful than pars, and birdies were so close, but no cigars. The course was in excellent shape with the exception of the bunkers, although this was understandable for the time of year. We raked up the bunker each time we had a bunker shot and surprising was able to get out without too much of a problem. It was a very enjoyable round even though we did not score well. The narrow fairways made accuracy a premium over distance. Great course, would definitely recommend it.

Lots of open water on the front and very tight tree lines on the back. Very well kept for this late in the season.

Great course challenges all aspects

Love this course! Some fairways very narrow and the greens have difficult undulations. Course is in excellent condition and makes you work hard physically and mentally to shoot a good score. We had a twosome in front of us that played a little slower at times and we had to wait on 3 holes to hit our approach shots while the maintenance crew to finish cutting the greens. Overall it was a great round and the staff is super friendly!

Course is suffering

This used to be on of the top public courses around, but it has slipped quite a bit. Greens were OK, but the tee boxes, fairways and rough were full of weeds and crabgrass. The bunkers were just dried out dirt. I was disappointed in the condition.

No longer a great course

Yes, the course remains a challenging and fun layout. It has some of the most difficult holes in Central Ohio, so its a very good test of your skills. That has not changed. However, the overall condition of the course has gone downhill. This is probably why the greens fee with cart is down to $35, and a mid morning tee time on Friday was available on a days notice.

The fairways and greens were in decent shape. The greens were fast and rolled pretty well, and ball marks were as expected for a public course. The sand traps and tee boxes are awful. The traps must get redone or this once great course will continue to lose customers. The tee boxes were horrible. This course is priced right at $25, but it's just a shame.

Course great, Other things Eh

First time playing this course. Was recommended by my father. So we made the one hour drive for a 7:30 tee time. The course was in great condition, the greens were semi - smooth and the rough was a little thick. The one thing that got me was pace of play. We played in 4.5 hours, not bad but not great, we were a twosome by the way. One foursome let us through on the second hole, but the foursome in front of them wouldn't let us pass. We were on their tails from the 4th hole. It was ridiculous because they weren't even caught up with the group in front of them. The range finally showed himself on 17 and proceeded to tell my friend and I "We do not really allow faster groups to play through. It just causes a whole bunch of problems. " This is a strange statement because on the scorecard says that slower groups are supposed to let faster groups play through. Needless to say, neither of us will be going back. Great course, but they need to get a better head on their ranger and whoever makes the rules.

On a lighter note, the cart girl was the best part of the round. She was nice and courteous and truly cared about our wellbeing and tried to get a ranger to speed the other group up (that was on 13).

This course not as nice

This course is overpriced for the condition it is in. The tee boxes are weed covered and bare in areas. The pace of play is ridiculous. It took 6 hours to play 18 holes. I thought pro golfers are on tv. I was disappointed because this course was one of my favorites.

Course was in good shape, although the tee boxes could be in better condition. Very demanding challenge. Three of the par 3's are over water. Tight back nine. Bring your A game for this one. I loved it and going back to better my score. Nothing boring about this course no matter how often it's played.
