Horrible pace of play

I have never reviewed a course before, but this was necessary. (5 hours and 20 minutes, and this is a short course) On the front side we played behind a 6-some! Pace of play was so slow on the back nine, I called the club house from number 12. They never sent out a ranger to help. I will say that I played this course many times and never had this problem. Also, this was the worst condition that I have seen Fox Den in all the years I've played it.

Excellent golf course that requires all elements of scoring. You have to think about lie, placement and strategy of iron and wood play.

Fox den

Pace was average, players didn't seem to be in a hurry. Coarse was good except 5 and 6 under construction. 6 is ridiculous in length. Staff was slow in the clubhouse with service and food.

Slow and in bad shape

Played here earlier in the year and they were changing some holes, they did a terrible job of that. The new tee is laid out sod and it is horrible. Lots of bare spots on the fairways. No rangers so it was extremely slow, about 5+ hours, Won't go back for quite a while no matter how cheap it was.

Great time had by 4some for a good value!

My friends and I really enjoyed our round of 18 at Fox Den. The holes were challenging, bunkers clear of weeds, and greens were quick. The only average ratings were due to the number of bees noticed in the majority of bunkers (which is not too bad of an only issue to have) and some greens had a noticeable amount of fixed divot hole patches (again not a bad issue to have & they were all flattened as best as possible).

With the redo of #5 and #6, this is a hidden gem in Stow. Greens always great, challenging, great staff and the best Bacon Cheeseburger in town! Play it every Saturday morning and it's a treat. Highly recommend!

Another Great Round

Joe, the general manager did a fine job accommodating myself and 4 other golfers. Helped split tee times to avoid a group of 5 to keep a great pace. Course is great, greens are quick and can't wait to see how #5 and 6 will turn out.

Had a slow foursome in front but we took care of it.

A+ 5 star day!

One of the Best Courses in General Area

Fox Den's fairways are in better shape than most competitive area courses. Also the general layout is inviting. We play at a number of courses and always include Fox Den. The staff is very good and the food and lunch area appealing.
