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.

Nice course, but pig golfers
I thoroughly enjoyed the course--interesting holes, nicely designed, relatively fast undulating greens, and scenic (except for the many surrounding houses, though they do not come into play). Huge downside: the clientele are pigs. Bunkers were a mess--seldom raked, despite a minimum of two rakes per bunker laying alongside. Fairways were littered with un-replaced divots and there was no sand on the cart. And the greens--I am not exaggerating when I say this: my partner and I repaired on average, 15 ball marks APIECE on each and every green. And we didn't even begin to get the majority of them. We had to repair marks on virtually every green before we could even putt. They looked like an artillery range. I've never seen anything like it. Fortunately there were few people on the course so we didn't experience slow play. That would have pushed us over the edge. The entire north course is unfortunately separated from the clubhouse by a major thoroughfare, so getting food and drinks at the turn is not possible, but the cart gal came by three times during our round, which was appreciated. Our only other complaint is that because the course is surrounded by houses, they need restrooms. I needed one about half way through the round. Where did I find one? At the 17th tee box. Who designed a course and placed a restroom at the 17th tee? I'll play here again--it's an enjoyable layout. But I just can't get over the way the course is treated by the golfers and a few of the quirky design elements.
This course has a lot of plusses
I have played this course a few times and enjoy coming back,I am a novice golfer and enjoy the chance to get out and play to improve my game and have an enjoyable time,and in saying so this course is challenging but not overwelling,it allows me to use a variety of clubs and situations to play. The greens are challenging and should not be thought as a slam dunk.The staff has always been friendly and helpful,thanks again and I will be back on this course again.
heavy rains have taken their toll on this course
heavy adobe soils are saturated to the point that several faiways are under repair. flooding of two creeks makes crossing the low bridges a bit scary. Once the weather begins to dry out the maintenance crew should be able to restore the course but for now I'd suggest playing elsewhere. Can't beat the great rates including cart that I got on GolfNow.com
what a round!
The North Course is located in the foothills which surround Rohnert Park. The fairways and greens were in immaculate condition and although the greens played pretty fast, I enjoyed a solid round of golf.
Rained the night before flooded the front nine closed 2 bridges.
Under normal conditions the course is fun to play it has drainage problems they had pumps on the course to put the water into the ponds from the fairways. We could only play a few holes on the front nine due to 2 bridges that were flooded and you couldn't cross. All in all it's a good course and long from the tips, four sets of tee boxes. Trees line the fairways but plenty of room to stay in the fairway, ponds along the way and the greens are guarded by big bunkers. The course is flat and easy to walk, the greens have breaks which makes them a little challenging and fun, we will play it again!
Great value, long fairways, challenging greens---all good!
LOTS of roll on the fairways---on the green in 3 on a par 5. Good for a golfer's self esteem...
over priced for for course maintanence, cart paths were broken with big chunks missing and greens were very bumpy and sand traps were very hard.
course ranger stated that the course needed more money to do the upgrades to sand trapped ( which were like concrete). The cart paths were in great need of repair. I played on a Sunday late morning and only saw a beverage cart only once on the entire round of golf. This seemed like a simple opportunity to generate money. On the north course, there wasn't a snack bar at the turn which would be another way in increase extra money.
great condition,only 31/2 hrs for 18...nice
great experience,great staff,good greens and fairways
Swamp or Desert
I played an unpleasant round at Foxtail South. Large areas were a bog.Golf balls and shoes disappeared into the muck. Other parts were as hard as concrete. The rest was just fine.
as allways a great course to play
we arrived to play the south course three of the holes were floded so i was asked if we wanted to play the north course for the same fees it was great play the north for seven dollars with a cart was like dyeing and gone to heaven thanks ron i book all my rounds with golfnow.com u guys are great
DOG TRACK
Not a bad track but AWFUL Conditions....played 11am to find ROCK HARD DRY PATCHY fairways and SOAKING WET NOT MOWED greens. Play the NORTH COURSE if you want to play an actual golf course
OK for price paid
Fairways are split/cracking, wet spots in the rough, not sure what the issue is with maintenacne. Course could be great! Greens were in pretty good shape.
fairways need water
good deal. Course greens were bumpy. Adobe clay cracks in middle of fairways.
best course for the money in sonoma county
I've played this course for over ten years, 6-7 times a year. The course conditions are decent to moderate depending on fairway watering. I played in mid summer & found winter conditions on & around most fairways. That is to say A-Standing water. B-Mud holes. C-rough grass uncut. That being said I found the middle of the fairways dry, wellcut, & decent roll. The greens were in great shape as they usually are. Good putting is a must to score well on this course. Playing from the white tees allows the high handicapper a chance to score well.
Terrible fairways and mud traps
Greens are pretty good but bunkers have no sand, and fairways are terrible 90% of the time. I would recommend to doesn't care about conditions
