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.

good course, worst service

The morning did not start off well, the course manager was very unpleasant to deal with, when I asked about having a rider (non golfer) go along she was not to welcoming of the idea, and then charged $20 when the cart fee for 18 holes is $13. Signs were posted that a charge of $2.50 per rider would by added for sanitizing the carts. Be sides the poor reception the day went fair other players in front were very slow and held up pace of play. course was in good shape except a few repair places.

Good, but was probably at one point better.

Staff was very friendly and cared, but course itself has probably seen better days. Challenging, but also needs to be better maintained. If you can get in for under $20, it’s definitely worth it!

Worst Customer Service EVER

My first time here, my friend said it's nice just the lady working inside is a nightmare. Sure enough the lady couldn't reason to why I shouldn't ride in a cart during a pandemic with a complete stranger. With no one in the parking lot it would be impossible for the person they wanted to pair up with our 3 some to tee off and we can play behind him. A joke. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!

Thanx to GN for hot Deals, Greens are good, and they've cut down some overgrown side bushes, making general appearance look better.

Don’t go if you aren’t a local.

Course itself isn’t too bad actually, but no yardage markers to be found, and was a very frustrating round, which I was glad when it was over. GPS to their address takes you somewhere else as well !

And do yourself a favor, and don’t bother trying to get a drink at the turn, very slow, and rude.

And you have to leave them your driver license for a cart....first time I ever experienced that.

Gas cart ran out of gas around the 15 th hole.

Disappointed

The course was very wet and really unplayable. Booked through golf18 now. Could not get a refund or a credit. Only way to get a credit or refund was if there was lighting. Ridiculous!!

Over priced

Course is over priced for current conditions then they add a $2.50 fee to sanitize your cart. Pace of play was ridiculously slow. Quit with three holes left because 5 hours was long enough. Lucky for me i got a great rate thru golf now but my friends paid $44.

course

The course itself is very challenging. What is anti consumer is the fact that they will only give you a raincheck if lighting strikes. The course was soggy wet. Ridiculous.

Worst golf course in Ohio

The best part of this golf course is the beaver we saw on #2 and watching the deer and fawns play. Biggest piece of crap golf course I've ever played. Terrible waste of good farm land and the fairways and rough resembled a pasture. They charge you an extra $2.50 per golfer for a cart cleaning fee due to Covid 19 that they don't tell you about, and the cart was so dirty that my wife had to clean it before we got in. I could live with the funky layout of the course if it had been in better shape. You;ll be sorry if you ever waste your money to play here.

Masks

I was mortified that the staff was not enforcing the LAW. There were people all over the place with no masks on, how dangerous! I chose to spend my time and money here, and I would’ve hoped they would have cared maybe a little bit.
