Course was in very good shape. Too many people not fixing their ball marks on the greens. It was like putting through a mine field.

Good experience on the course

Nice course, pleasant experience. Staff in pro shop on top of it!

Girls behind the bar need to be trained on a standard "rocks" pour for alcohol. $9 for a one ounce pour is outrageous for Dewars! Standard is two ounces.

4 min Stacked tee times - good for $$, stressful for your day

From the start - the staff is on you about pace. The whole day we were waiting and being waited on. I never felt like I was “playing” golf. I felt like I was tasked to stay as on top of the group ahead of me as possible. If you’re looking for a fun, casual day of golf - this isn’t the course for you. If you’re a 10-20 handicapper with other experienced golfers in your group - you might find this enjoyable. The tee times being stacked as they are makes playing Foxford Hills uniquely unenjoyable.

Terrible Greens

I Know its April but if you're going to charge $70 in a weds in April you better have some quality greens. They were pock marked and choppy as fukk today. Very disappointing. We drive an hour to play here and in past have been tip top.

A countryside getaway

Not a country club style course. It is more geared towards the rustic nature golf player. There was no gps on the cart but the course itself provided challenges and enough birdie opportunities for the long hitter to make the time worthwhile. I would definitely recommend and cannot wait to play again next year.

Amazing course but pace was unacceptable

The course itself is a must play. Definitely top five I've played in Chicago. Well kept, challenging, and lots of fun shots. Gorgeous scenery.

The pace, however, was awful. We we had multiple groups waiting on the tee box after two holes. Waiting several minutes to hit every shot is a great way to kill the fun of a great course, so I'm hoping this isn't the norm here. I'd still recommend this to anyone, and will definitely give it another try.

A park district course that is completely out of their minds pricing wise

I understand that rates can be high if you are looking to golf 18 holes on a Saturday or Sunday. But $80 for a public park district owned course is absurd. On top of the “prime time” rates if you want to golf on a weekday the pricing is set at $64. How is it possible that traditionally high end courses on the area such as Turnberry golf club are priced at almost half the price on a weekday? I have been golfing at Foxford almost my entire life up until this past year as this average course is charging even residents at high rate. Go to any other public course of a similar maintenance Level and layout within a 10 mile radius and it will be a fraction of the price. A direct quote from the park district website “resort style golf at a fraction of the price”. I as well as many people I know in the area we’re loyal to this course for years because of the reasonable price for an average course but in the past year has gotten completely out of hand. An overbooked and over priced course.

Which is it? If it's over-booked than it is clearly priced competitively.

First time but won’t be last

Beautiful course, tough but fair. It’s a bit beat up, from recent rain and heavy play, but not bad at all. Pace likely will always be a little slow because the course will punish bad shots, especially for those not familiar with it. Rangers and beverage cart were around regularly but not bothersome. Got a great deal from teeoff.com and will look for opportunities to play again.

Pace of play was HORRIBLE tee time was 10:58 and we finished at 3:54 after explaining to the proshop his response was Well it's Sunday!

Course management is supposed to keep pace of play don't post signs if you can't enforce the rules.

Greens were soft which is definitely better than hard, and course was otherwise in great condition.

Once it get slow all will suffer

Course played great when we could hit. 5 min waits on front nine 10 minutes on back. Even after a call when on 11 never saw a marshal come out to check on pace of play.

I hope this is not normal, but if they do not enforce pace of play we will all suffer out there
