Fox Den Golf Course

the greens were in an Ok condition considering it's wet and early in April! Wind was 3 clubs at times , tough to gage distances! Happy to be playing! The price was right!

This course is just a mile from my house, so it is my watering hole... It's exactly what you expect from a Muni... you see all the die-hards, you get a place to practice all your shots, and you get a better than average layout to test your game. Honestly, I practice there more than I play there, but I love the friendly nature of the staff and the pricing for practice balls or a game.

I would highly recommend for a fun game or just to get out and hit some!

Played as a single, which sometimes has consequences. On first tee noticed at least an 8 some playing 4th hole. Finally caught 2 groups who let me play. Encountered a slow 5 some next. There were groups ahead of them also. Pace of play slowed also by cart path only. Love Fox Den....just not today!!

I HAVE PLAYED THIS COURSE MANY TIMES, GROWING UP AND LIVING IN STOW MOST OF MY LIFE. I HAVE ALSO USED THIS COURSE FOR MY TRAVEL BASEBALL TEAM OUTING. I ONLY BOOKED 2 PLAYERS FOR MY TEE TIME BUT HAD THIRD THAT WANTED TO JOIN, WHEN WE GOT TO THE COURSE THE MAN RUNNING THE COUNTER AND THE STARTER ACTED LIKE IT WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF THE QUESTION TO ADD A THIRD PLAYER. FUNNY CAUSE WHILE WAITING TO TEE OFF ON THE SECOND HOLE WE LEARNED THE NEXT TWO GROUPS BEHIND US ONLY HAD 3 PLAYERS. ADDITIONALLY WHILE WAITING TO TEE OFF THE STARTER ASKED US IF WE WERE WAITING FOR THE PRIOR GROUP TO CLEAR THE GREEN BEFORE WE HIT, APPARENTLY HE MISSED ONE PERSON IN FRONT OF US THAT HAD RETURNED TO THE TEE BOX TO HIT ANOTHER BALL. VERY RUDE! I WILL NEVER PLAY THIS COURSE AGAIN AND WILL NEVER BOOK ANOTHER OUTING HERE!

It was nice to play on a holiday without having to spend a fortune. Plus it wasn’t particularly late. I am definitely coming back soon

The course is in great shape. So glad they re-did 5 & 6, although back to back Par 5's is pretty weird. Course is getting a lot of play, so gotta fix a few divots once in a while in your line.

Course conditions were not very good at all. A lot of bare spots in the fairways. Terrible pin placements on holes. The new par 3 green was only halfway playable. Huge dirt spots where it looked like the ground was breaking up. Slow players with bad etiquette (we were almost hit by a ball on the first green. Went in between my friends legs. No "fore" or even an apology from the guy). People had babies with them in their carts, kids running around on the course. The kicker was when I turned off the teebox and was greeted by two dogs that some local was letting run around on the course without a leash. Staff was quite friendly and it was cheap through GolfNow. May give it a try next year to see if they improve the maintenance on the course.

I really enjoy the layout especially the new holes 5 and 6. If I loved closer I would play much more often. My only issue is the new green on 5. It is close to non playable. It is new within the last two years and part of the green appears to be falling away from the rest of the green.

Had a nice time. Relaxed and even beat the rain after 18 holes.

This course used to be nice years ago. Every time I go back now it seems to be worse than the time before. Fairways washed out, tee boxes don't have any grass. The one good thing of note is that they did get rid of the ridiculous par 5 that was a 8 iron tee shot. Better layout now for sure. With some care this course could come back to life but we will probably leave this one off the list for the foreseeable future.

Conditions have deteriorated since last season. Greens have many more ball marks. The redesign of the fifth and sixth holes is not a plus in my opinion. Three par 3's and back to back par 5's on the same nine just does not work too well. Definetly slows down play. Would have been simpler and more cost effective to just cut down trees on the inside of the dogleg of the old fifth hole , where they put the tees for the new 6th hole, thrown in a fairway bunker in the inside of the dogleg to give players a chance to bite off more of the corner but with a little bit of risk with the bunker there to penalize you if you try to bite off too much. Also the green on the new par 3 fifth is in very bad shape, many dead spots, some of which have been patched, while most have not been fixed. Pace of play was slow, had to wait on every shot after the first hole. The Stow girls team out practicing was the beginning of the problem, with the coach out teaching on the course. Saw quite a few handicap flags on carts, another sow down there. But the biggest problem is tee times set on only seven minute intervals. This is a course that I would anytime before, but I don't think it will be high on my list in the near future

I like that this course and driving range are just minutes away from my home and that it is well kept and clean. The many teaching pros are very impressive, knowledgeable and seem friendly enough. The price is fair, course in good condition and I enjoy the layout. The course presents a reasonable challenge and plays fair. I remember playing Blue Heron and being frustrated and angered at just how ridiculously difficult it would play at times where you’d be punished for both poor and good shots. I leave this course in a good mood having had a nice experience overall.

My main somewhat negative issue is with pace of play. At times, way too long and I blame the course management for this. The last time I was there to play with a tee time it was just to be myself and a friend. We called first and were told it was wide open and literally we were there within 30 minutes. As we arrived we noticed a bit of a surge of arriving players and while waiting our turn, overheard these players, who had no tee time, ask if they could be squeezed in? To our surprise, they were just minutes before we were scheduled. Obviously this slowed our play down in addition to irritating us. What was the point of having a tee time? Now, rather than just driving a few minutes to the course, my friend insists we try elsewhere.

And although I say the staff seemed friendly, they could be a little friendlier. Just sayin’.....

I really enjoyed golfing here. The course is in good shape, the fairways and greens nicely done, and challenging with its narrow design. I liked it.

Played this course a lot in the past but for the first time this year. Took me 1 hour to get thru the first 3 holes -and- the course is really run down compared to the past. Not sure what happen but it's headed down the wrong path. Hope they get it together. Oh BTW.... walked off after #3 do to extremely slow play and didn't even bother with a rain check.

Course was in decent shape. Easy sailing through the first nine. When we got to 10 we had to wait every hole. Don't know if someone jumped on 10 or the course let them start on 10. Cart paths could be improved.
