Foxford Hills Golf Club

Can't believe I've lived-in this area 14 years and have not played this course yet. I will definitely be back, and will look forward to improving my score (went for a lot of things I shouldn't have, course knowledge really helps!)

Staff was friendly, didn't partake of the after round beer as I needed to run.

All of the holes have their own names, the fairways seem open but the trees and traps sneak up on you, and the greens are undulating and fast - awesome.

Enjoy!

I'm a big fan of Foxford Hills GC. This course will challenge every aspect of your game all day long. You must be accurate off the tee, be able to drive the ball with some distance, have a sharp iron game, and be a great putter in order to score well here.

In my opinion, the cost of the round is worth just putting on the greens alone. Yes, they get marked up pretty bad towards the end of the year because people are too lazy to repair their ball marks, but for the most part, they are in excellent shape. They are fast and have numerous ridges and levels throughout the green complexes. I'm a believer that if you can putt well here, every other course will feel like the greens are all flat and straight. I hover around an 11 handicap and my short game is usually what carries me. When playing my last round at Foxford, I probably 3 putted at least 5 or 6 holes.

Outside of the greens, the rest of the course is no pushover. OB, water, narrow fairways, and mature trees come into play on almost every hole. There are also several holes that are a forced carry into the greens. Holes 12 and 13 are different in that they have a very large bunkers surrounding the greens. It makes for a picturesque and intimidating tee shot all at the same time.

If it is your first time playing Foxford, the scorecards have a diagram of every hole. Pay attention to the diagrams as they can be key to keeping you out of trouble off of the tee.

Last time I played here, I enjoyed it so much (even with the 3 putts) that my buddy and I went back out to play another 9 holes. The pace of play was excellent but we did go out around 8 in the morning on a weekday. An easy recommendation to make is to swallow your pride and play up a set of tees the first time you play here. I've never played from the tips and the gold tees (6618 yards) are quite the challenge themselves.

Definitely worth the drive from wherever you are coming from around Chicago. I can't wait to get back out there and play it again.

There was a 4 some ahead of us that played terribly slow and didn't let anyone play through. Had to wait on nearly every hole. No ranger to speed them up either. The course is nice but it could be nicer. There was a great course layout but the course had a lot of divots on the tee boxes & greens that could have been taken care of a bit better to make it a 4 star course. Additionally there were no water jugs on the course, just water fountains that barely worked sparsely located throughout the course. It was in the upper 80's so that was a bit annoying on a hot day. I would definitely play there again. Weekday hot deal was for $31 which is about right the right price based on my experience at the course.

First time, I've played Foxford in a while and it was in very fine condition. The staff does a great job with taking care of the customers. The course itself is in very good condition for tee to green. I'd say the best attribute of Foxford Hills is the course lay-out. There truly are some really fun holes here which make you decide which club to take off the tee box as well as how you want to attack the hole.

3 stars for this day. Unfortunately Foxford suffers from slow play consistently especially on the back nine with groups definitely playing the wrong tees. Two very slow moving couples in a foursome held the entire course up (on the thirteenth as we pulled up the tee box this snail group just finishing so there were 15 golfers on a par 3 hole!!) with two wide open holes in front of this group (a par 4 and a par 5). Called the clubhouse and they did nothing....a 3 hour plus back nine completely unacceptable when the front was clocked in at 2:03. This is a very challenging course for high handicappers and the green speeds as well as some of the flag positions (very borderline for even experienced players with course knowledge) contributed greatly to the slow play. Due to the lack of rain the greens have been over watered and as a result there are a plethora of ball marks (many not repaired) and scuff marks/spike marks by people that can't be bothered to pick up their feet. Several fairways laced with unfilled divots or even marginal attempts to replace them. Had some bumpy putts....not fun when you're dealing with 11 plus stimp speeds. Sand trap maintenance was "okay" but could be sketchy.....and how about kicking the sand of your shoes before you walk stones all over the green? If people actually took good care of this course and the rangers enforced a proper pace of play this would easily be a four star plus venue.....for me this place is trending downward unfortunately.

Versatile layout and tees allow for a challenge for any level golfer at a good price.

Great golf course. Problem with playing golf on Fathers Day, 5.5 hour round. Look forward to playing the course again and finishing in 4 hours.

It started out slow and got slower . 5/1/2 hour round . Booked a 2 some and was was sent off the tee with another 2 some. We used three different tees. It was not a good round.

The course was in excellent condition, but the pace of [play ruined what could have been a great time. More than 5 hours, to me, is unacceptable for a weekday round.

The course is under new ownership and is now way over priced. I could see the prices being raised had they made significant changes to the layout, or had they improved the overall conditions of the course (the greens remind me of the surface of the moon). I've seen no improvements to the course to justify the prices from going in the Mid $40's peak time, peak season to the near $70 they want now. Overall, its a decent track, but I feel you can find better value at other area courses like Prairie Isle or Blackstone.

I'll play Foxford again once their prices either come back to earth, or they make improvements to justify the top dollar rates they want.

Been playing this course for years. Having played many courses in Illinois this is in my top 10 local courses for sure. Its drains well after rains, it is kept in nice condition, and the layout is really cool. Bring a few extra balls, there are some tricky holes.

Greens were a little slow but overall a very good course

The staff has always treated me and my fellow golfers in a way that makes us welcome and want to come back. The course was in very good condition for this time of year.

Staff was friendly and accomidating. Course layout was good, greens were tough and challenging. Food in clubhouse was fair at best.

great golf course in great shape fast greens and lots of sand traps bring your a game

Course was in great condition. Trees turning colors but minimal leaves found on the course. A few of the greens were bumpy due to recent aeration so.

Course and staff were great. Incurred some slow pace as golfers from another country were playing very slow

Beautiful golf course, well maintained with strategic hazards to keep you honest. Greens were fast, but rolled true. Some holes had water requiring significant forced carries. Interesting design and not boring. Only negative was slow play resulting from an unskilled foursome who had no knowledge of golf etiquette. A ranger was sorely needed. I would play this track again.

I've played this course many times since they opened. Conditions this year are far improved. Last year it was all hacked up. Front is links back is traditional.

I love this course. Very fun to play. the layout of the course is great. I have played this course before and enjoyed it both times. I only wish people would fix their ball marks on the greens. They were a bit bumpy because of it.
