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 outing overall.

Pace of play was ridiculous. 5:23, not a ranger in sight. Course was in better shape than reviews would have you believe. Bunkers need some work. Overall good experience

Could be better

This could be the best design around, but the care and maintenance is poor. I give everyone a pass this year after a year with no revenue, but I hope they try harder to keep it up.

Fairways a little burnt out

Fairways and some parts of a few greens were burnt out and most if not all of the sand traps were like concrete hard.

This course was way better last year

Layout is difficult but fun as always. Course is in brutal shape. Fringe is burnt, greens are dead in places, some even are covered in weed. There is vast open cut sod as well. Will come back once upkeep returns.

A little effort maybe.

Bunkers terrible. Turf terrible. This course years ago was top notch. It could get back to that with a little time and effort however it appears that is not happening. Will not be back.

So Sad

First things first, I don't usually write reviews, but I felt I had to. The people who own the course said when they sold the Foxfire course for developing that they were going to use the windfall to upgrade the Players Club, which had slowly been deteriorating since it first opened up. The greens were not being properly maintained and the traps were atrocious. Well, they sold the front property and have used the profit on-- nothing at the course. Maybe the owner bought Him or Herself something nice, but it wasn't at the golf course. I don't know how much sand costs, but that would have been the bare minimum to do to make the course a little nicer. Hitting out of mud and muddy water in the traps stinks. Whoever the greens keeper is should be fired. There is crabgrass growing on the greens and dead spots all over. The owners have done nothing.

Now the pace of play. Five hours. Too long. There was a ranger, we told him about it and he said he would take care of it. The group in front of us a couple of holes later came back to us to let us know there was a six- some ahead of them. So I guess the ranger thought that was OK.

For 50 bucks I was very disappointed. I won't be going back and I will discourage others from going. For literally half the price you can play Upper Lansdowne in an hour less and it is in just as good a shape.

Improving, but…

We teed off at 7:30am. What we planned to be a day on the course with sounds of nature on a gorgeous morning ended up being sounds from the grounds crew mowing, which seemed to follow us about every three holes. We don’t mind sprinklers being on, but the sprinklers didn’t shut off on two different holes. Greens were hard and dry, hence the watering. The greens actually rolled fair, but below average condition. Green side bunkers were playable, which is an improvement from past visit.. Fairways were in decent shape. Halfway house was closed and apparently is only open on certain days of the week. Course is definitely playable, but currently overpriced compared to other courses that are in much better shape. We paid $44 on a this (Friday) morning.

Disappointed with conditions

Pretty disappointed with the conditions of the course. In the past the greens were amazing and a good challenge but they were incredibly slow and many had bare spots. Pace of play was fairly slow causing us to wait on every shot. Probably will not come back here with other options in the area at a similar price point in better conditions.
