One of the best public courses ...

First time playing @ Foxford. Although is quite a drive for me; it was definitely worth it. Great value for a great course. Each hole layout is unique. Some holes leave you room for errors and others require precision. Due to the some rain the night before, the greens were soft yet quite fast and receptive. Bunkers are tactically placed through the course to provide some challenges...but sometimes bunkers can save you a stroke or two.

The pace of play was great for Saturday early tee time. Never once we had to wait for the 4-some ahead of us. This is definitely a hidden gem. Thanks to the maintenance crews that upkeep the course...Great job!!!

I hate being on a course where the maintenance crew are all over the course mowing the grass, and etc...it was just us 4 and the course.

I will be coming back...take advantage of the well priced rate during the weekday. I recommend this course. I would compare Foxford to Thunderhawk.

Fun, Challenging, Windy Day

Foxford Hills is a fun, challenging course and even more challenging on a windy day. I recommend getting a cart for this course. Very hilly and there are some long walks between holes. The 17th green was a minefield full of goose droppings, but other than that the course was clean. Overall, the cups were set in some very difficult locations on the greens for a holiday. The starter and the cashier in the pro shop were friendly. At the turn, the bartender in the clubhouse told us that our food and drinks had to be consumed on the go. After the 12th hole, the ranger did ask our group to speed up play. We did the best we could since our group was made up of guys who golf maybe a couple times a year. The rest of the environment was pretty average for a public course (driving range, putting greens, etc.)

Foxford Hills

Foxford Hills is a great course. Well laid out, beautiful terrain, and very well maintained. Unfortunately it started rained on the back nine, so we only completed 12 holes.

Could be awesome, but...

If this course was in better shape it would be so nice. The layout is nice and challenging, but the fairways and greens are in terrible shape. Divots everywhere on the fairways and are never repaired, and our sand buckets were empty so they obviously didn't care if we repaired our divots. Greens were rough and unpredictable. It's obvious even the best golfers didn't repair their ball marks. For a course that says they have "18 signature holes" they're fooling themselves. We won't be playing here again.

Keeps Your Interest

This course is very nice visually and requires course management on most of the holes. You cannot just aim and fire. Course layout certainly is fun and well thought out. Greens are lighting fast and at times impossible to stop the ball at the whole. 4-8 foot roll outs were common. The back nine, esp. holes 15,16,17,18 are tough finishing holes. Had a lot of fun playing the course and will definitely return.

It's Out There

If you have time for the drive (hour+ from the city), I'd say this is a good once a year trip to make. Course is either fun or a bit tricked up depending on your perspective but the greens are awesome-lightning fast in April after a very wet spring.

Nice Layout

I have played Foxford Hills many times, this probably being the earliest in the season (3/28/17). The course is always challenging due to the layout, but also forgiving. Course was in great early season shape, and not too wet despite some recent rain. The staff were friendly and they just upgraded to new carts. Great day though only in the high 40's.

1st round of the new year for me. Course obviously had little to maintenance performed as of yet (understandably). Bunkers were suffering and greens beat up by prior golfers but not so bad as to affect the roll. Had a great day in spite of playing poorly.

February golf

Course was in good shape considering time of year. Greens were very slow. Hardly a soul out on the course. One of my favorite local courses.

Great Course, Tough Day

Had a great time playing Foxford Hills. Staff is friendly and polite. Range is good, hitting off mats now. Tough day, very windy, and became really cool. Started on the back nine, but I like the ninth hole better than the 18th, so good by me. Great layout in very good shape, front nine winds through homes, back nine not so much. Playing here is worth it just to play holes 5,9,12,15,16,17. The rest of the course is pretty good as well. Has one of the tougher finishing holes in the area.
