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.

Worst experience ever
Booked a tee time for Sunday Memorial Day Weekend. Showed up and they told me they moved my tee time back 15mins without notifying me. They then charged $15 for a bucket of range balls to pass the extended time. As we practiced putts waiting to tee off, we saw 12 carts pass by and head to the first tee ahead of us. They also passed the 2 groups with tee times ahead of us. When we questioned the starter what was going on, he said it’s the owner and his friends and there was nothing he could do. Not content to wait another hour to tee off and then endure a 6 hour round of golf, we got a refund and accepted losing 2 hours of day to this debacle. Needless to say, I’ll never be back and based on the conditions of the facilities, clubhouse and range, I wouldn’t recommend to anyone.
Nice course but quite difficult
The fairways were a joy to hit out of, but are very narrow and surrounded by very thick rough, as well as lots of water and sand.
Golf Round
This could be a prestigious course with just a little more TLC. Sand traps were hard, muddy, weed-dominated.
Car paths had lots of holes. Riding carts were very nice.
Fairways and greens were pretty nice.
Great layout, needs fertilizer
Maybe one of the best layouts surrounding Columbus
Unfortunately, I saw way to many dandelions, the grass around the greens on the fairway looked cancerest, the bridges still need rebuilt, and the cart path was in rough shape, just like last season
Since they sold the land for housing development, I was expecting more, up to date changes.
Under-Rated course
Never played foxfire before after living in Grove City for a while. Reviews I read and what I’ve heard is that the course used to be better and I have no doubt that it was, but people make it sound worse than it is. Seems like they are trying to improve the course slowly. Grass was well cut. Some patches in places but over all very happy with my experience here. Tough course for a newer golfer. Bring an extra couple balls with you. Beautiful course.
Just OK
2nd time playing the Players Course and it has gone downhill…1st time I played, it was fantastically kept and worth the price…this time around (keep in mind we played early spring) bunkers were not well kept, a lot of the greens were covered in disease, and for the price paid, not worth it. The half way house was nice however slowed pace of play to a crawl…overall, I won’t be playing this course anytime soon
Lost its luster
This used to be our regular weekly course but conditions have deteriorated significantly in the last 4-5 years. Greens are very bumpy with bare portions, fairways are still fairly decent, bunkers are a travesty and unplayable, and there aren’t any amenities left. Basically this is your run of the mill muni course even after they sold off their less-heralded Foxfire course. Thinking that they may put some of the millions they reaped on that sale into the remaining course was a mistake. There isn’t a pro shop to speak of, no cart service on the course, halfway house is usually closed, only facility is a porta-potty after number 8, and when asking about future remodel plans, they indicated that they may paint the outside of the clubhouse even though there is a brand new neighborhood being built (300 homes) around this place. It used to be a great course that you could enjoy and have an “experience” at, but those days are long gone. Highly recommend that you look elsewhere if you want decent conditions or a good golf experience, which seems to be difficult in this area in recent years. Best of luck!
disappointed in the course
for the price you pay, it’s is no where near what it should be. would take a lot of improvement to return.
Worst conditions in central Ohio
The greens were average for this area so not an issue. The fringe around every green was 80% bare dirt. The bunkers haven't seen maintenance in weeks (grass growing in areas). The fairways on some holes had 10% grass coverage in the landing areas. Tees were OK for the most part but who cares when you tee the ball up. Overall the worst conditions I've seen on any course in central Ohio and the green fees are at the higher end of the pricing spectrum. Green fees would not tempt me even at half the current price. I don't enjoy poor conditions enough to make the drive.
Total Garbage
First of all, there are bots posting high rating to raise the average rating of this course. There is no way this course can be higher than one star. Fairways and Greens were all chewed up. None of the bunkers were playable, totally abandoned and full of rocks and weeds. I haven't played a course this bad in many years and for $50 it's a total ripoff. Check out the pic of #16 tee box. A lot of holes looked like this.
Terrible Value
$50 for a round. Chewed tee boxes and greens, patched out fairways. Bunkers werent even playable.
