Great municipal course

Fox Den is a great municipal course with an attached driving range for warm up/lessons. The staff is super friendly. Remember that this is a municipal course and most the marshals and cart people are volunteers. It is minimally staffed but has good lessons and a pro shop that stocks necessities. I strongly recommend that you try this course which is among the best of the reasonably priced northern Ohio golf courses.

season long review

Play this course all summer Some attention to little details would improve course Tee boxes need sand/seed mix on par 3.s and shorter par fours were irons are often used sand bottles on cart with seed should be used.

bottles are there but nothing is in them tees need more water and light to improve the conditions also some tees need leveled fairways on 4, 7, 14 and 15 need their drainage issues resolved and then reseeded. All traps need sand and edged could be a great course as a municipal course they are competing with ellsworth, brookledge and goodpark in the area and Fox Den's course conditions are not up to their standards

SLOOOOW PLAY

This course has no idea how to make and work tee times. I have given this course several chances and every time I play here I hit SLOOOOW play. I have played during week and weekends and the same slow play rears its head. I have called the clubhouse during play...since there are no rangers on the course... to get groups moving. You'll get 2-3 groups sometimes on one hole. I get the same excuses...We get a lot a play, we had an outing, nothing we can really do about it, etc... The driving range is awful....Mostly Dirt and holes...very little grass to hit from. Range balls look like they went into the woods and ponds and picked them out and threw them into the range ball machine. The greens roll nice but players don't fix divots and with lots of spike marks. Tee Boxes are ok...some are rock hard you need a hammer to put your tee into the ground, The pro shop is has a good selection. The concession stand has good selections but a little slow needs some more help when it is busy...which is most of the time. If the course could figure out how to spread tee times and have starters that know how to get groups off ...you should be able to play 18 holes in about 3:45 to a max of 4 hours.. Until they figure this out plan 5-hour plus rounds.

Frost delay

Had to tee off at 9:15 instead of our planned 8:52, but we had the course almost to ourselves on a cold but beautiful day. The course is in good condition.

Blustery Day

The weather was cold and windy, but course was excellent for October in Ohio. Greens were very good

and smooth. Not crowded because of weather so I finished 18 in 3 hours. A very good experience!

Course suited to above average golfers

The course was not in prime condition at the time of play. It is rather challenging for beginning or below average golfers, especially for seniors who cannot hit a long drive. The pro shop is adequately equipped and the snack bar within has good, reasonably priced food. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

Nice course in great shape, though they had recently sanded (top dressed) the greens. Will go back again soon.

Too slow

Everything is great, except the tee times are all over and they don’t play fast enough. If people schedule tee times, it would work better.

Mixed

Played here for years and always a decent course.

Played recently on a perfect day and after 6 holes I really thought the course was in the process of closing as the conditions were very poor. If you askled me at that point I'd say I'd never come back again. and then..the course conditions improved to the normal pretty good course I have known for years. Only paid $12(coupon) so worked out fine but really need to put some attention into the first 6 holes.

Walked

This course is a great course to refine your game.

Not as good as some other courses near by (Ellsworth or Brookledge) for both quality and value.

Been playing here for the past 8 years and there has been a positive design change on the front nine (holes 5 & 6).

Driving range is across the street and is not very good.

Fox Den golf experience

The course was challenging and the fairways could use maintenance. There were many bare spots in the fairways. The course places the tees boxes at significant distances from the blues to the reds. There was standing water in spots from the previous night's rain. All-in-all it was an enjoyable golf experience.

This is more a kids / beginners coarse. The fact that you play only 9 holes is a downfall.
