Foxtail Golf Club - South Course
About
There are two championship courses at Foxtail Golf Club, the North and the South. Situated in the heart of wine country, both courses enjoy a lush, scenic landscape and pleasant views of the surrounding countryside. The longer and more difficult North Course was completely redesigned to make it more challenging but the player-friendly South Course has remained a favorite destination of both Sonoma and Marin Counties for its playability. It provides a more beginner-friendly option than the North, but there are still plenty of challenges in store. No water hazards come into play but there are several strategically placed bunkers as well as trees lining the fairways. In addition to the two golf courses, Foxtail also boasts one of the best practice facilities in the North Bay. There is a full driving range available as well as chipping and putting greens.

Overall, just not very well maintained. Greens rolled fine, but the tee boxes and fairways were just beat up. A little TLC and could be a decent public course.
Great two courses North more challenging
I have been playing Foxtail for over 10 years and love the courses. The south is more fun for practice. The North is more challenging and in better shape overall. I highly recommend playing Foxtail.
Mediocrity at it's finest
Foxtail South has been an affordable staple with available tee times for myself as a new / high handicapper.
Over the last 18 months I've played, the quality of fairways has declined rapidly. There are large brown patches of solid dirt with cracks on various holes.
The greens have declined slightly but are the highlight of this course.
Bunkers may as well be clay or concrete.
The course is nice and wide, not too narrow on most holes.
The scenery lacks relative to other local course options.
If fairway upkeep got back in gear, and green quality stopped slipping fox south will continue to be a solid course.
As a solid value, I want to buy a membership, but, if it keeps declining I will pass come January.
Poor condition
I liked the layout and the course design. The fairways are very bad. Alternate plots of dried grass, and muddy squishy sections. The greens were pretty good and maintained well. The sand traps were mostly awful - some mud pits, packed dirt, and some have puddles in them.
Uneventful
If it wasnt for the greens being in good shape this course is better used to feed cattle. Layout is average at best. Fairways and tees were in average shape considering the drought. Bunkers were in the worst shape I've seen in a long time. You can tell they completely ignore them.
I will not play the south course again.
Great track!
This is by far one if the best courses in Sonoma on Golf Now. Tree lined redwoods on every hole, lush fairways, greens and tees. I was amazed at how green everything was with current mega drought conditions. Just an awesome day!
Nice course, but slow play annoying
I played Foxtail North for the first time yesterday and enjoyed the course layout. It is in generally good condition. Pace of play on the front 9 was painfully slow. On some holes there were 4 groups at one time. I did not see any marshals on the course to keep it moving. Also, there was a family of 4 - two of them children who the father was teaching how to play which seems inappropriate on this type of course.
Pace of Play
Experience a very good pace of Play. I guess the relatively warm weather forecasted accounted for low demand, but the weather turned out to be confortable and calm. Our tee time was 1:45 pm and wind basically disappeared after three holes and the temperature never got out of the 70s.
Nice pace of play, good greens
This is a very enjoyable course for those not wanting a Pete Dye type challenge. Straightforward with some interesting holes and excellent greens. There are some dried out areas of cracked earth that are not playable but most of the course is in good shape.
