Fox Creek Golf & Racquet Club
About
Located just 30 miles west of Cleveland, FoxCreek Golf and Racquet Club is one of the best golf courses in Lorain County. The layout has a classic design with a shorter length and forgiving fairways. The terrain is hilly, which provides the most challenging elements of the course from the rolling undulations to the elevated tees and greens. You'll encounter numerous doglegs as well as a few blind approaches. The postage stamp-sized greens can be especially tricky. They are faster than they seem and have subtle breaks where you wouldn't expect. From the back tees, the golf course will test even the most seasoned golfer, however, FoxCreek has a nice balance of tough and player-friendly holes with plenty of variety. Your score will depend more on how creatively you utilize your shot making skills rather than on sheer strength or distance.

Beware booking through GolfNow
Finding the course and “clubhouse” is a nightmare, no signage and calls to course were going to voicemail. After driving an hour was told course did not have reservation booked and paid for through GolfNow, then they said GolfNow cancelled my reservation the day before but did not notify me. We could play if we paid again but would not honor GolfNow price. Paid and fortunately got money back from GolfNow. Course had no yardage markers other than 150 yards, no signage on cart paths to direct to tee boxes. Course was wet and has some real issues with drainage and large pools of water everywhere and geese droppings all over. Round started poorly with reservation issue and never really improved, just a scruffy course with little to no customer service. Next time I drive an hour to Lorain heading to Valley of the Eagles, a little more expensive but they appreciate golfers.
Smooth
Smooth and quick greens after lots of rain. I was highly impressed with the greens and the way the cups were cut.
Nice course, but needs yard markers!
We were rained out after five holes, but the guy at the counter had to check with the owner to see if we could be given rainchecks, which I thought odd. We did get them, though.
Bill from Akron
I was pleasantly surprised by the condition of the course. I recall playing Fox Creek several years ago and it was in ok condition. Today I played a well maintained course, with excellent t boxes, greens firm but fair and a very professional staff. I look forward to playing Fox Crrek again.
Course was in fairly good condition though the greens had been recently aerated. Woman at club
house was less than friendly to us. As we were teeing off on 10 at 1 hour 55 minutes into our round she asked "just getting to ten now". While finishing up on 16 she was riding a cart picking up flags and told us to pick up the pace. We finished 18 in just 4 hours which to her was slow I guess. Apparently she had somewhere better to be. Will definitely not play here again.

This course has gone down hill
After booking on golf now. When you arrive at the course they charge an extra 2.50 per player, they call it a covid charge. Then if you don't book all 4 slots they force you to ride in a cart with someone you don't know instead of giving you a separate cart by yourself with covid going on. It's the only course I've played that doing that. Everywhere else will give you your own cart.
Great Course, taken back on the COVID awareness
The course is awesome, enjoyable to play. they take good care of it, but I will say I signed up for a single golfer. I understand that you might not be able to send out single golfers sometimes, and you may have to play with other golfers but, I wasn't given the option to have my own cart. There aren't enough carts for single golfers to go out. But there is a 3 dollar charge for COVID clean up.
Very unfriendly management and charges additional at course
Course is great. The staff at the clubhouse is the worst. Been their before and never a good experience with her. They also charge $5.00 for a cart even when included through golfnow. There is also an obligatory $2.50 per person COVID fee (not sure what that is). So Fox Creeks hot deal isn’t so hot with the additional fees charged at the course even though golfnow says no additional fees at the course in checkout. Golfnow should investigate the courses pay or remove from their site. Won’t go there again unless they get honest and maybe even change personal.
Extra fee
The course charged an extra $2.50 for Covid. This was not charged earlier this year when I played there, and I did not see this in the booking either. Not a lot of money, but still disappointing.
This is a very nice course
This is a very nice course. This is not an easy course by any means but it's very very good
Smooth and quick greens
Nice track. Tough course. Bring your A game with the putter
