Nice course slow play

Foxford is a fun, challenging course to play. The course and clubhouse are well maintained and in very good shape.

Course itself is almost like a links course. Somewhat narrow fairways and fast greens. For those of you who like a challenge with sand around holes and dedicated spots on the fairways, play this course. Only hit into two traps, but they were deep with high edges.

The only downside is that the pace of play is very slow. During our round, there was always a wait to tee off and shoot to the green. Two gentlemen, who we joined up on the back nine and have played the course several times, stated it is backed up quite allot.

All in all, a very good course to play and will definitely play again.

Father's Day 2015 - Some greens w/fungus

This is a terrific layout with large fairways and scenic holes. The greens have grain so be sure to learn how to read it as putts will vary in speed by several feet depending on it. Currently, there are many greens with silver dollar sized dead spots due to fungus infiltration. Before playing, I would contact the course and determine if it is still a problem. Multiple tees will appeal to all levels of play.

Tell players to refrain from cell phone use except for emergency situations while golfing with others!

Everything was good, except when we were asked by the starter to catch up and join up with the two some in front of us, which was no problem and we did on the 4th hole. We were very distracted by the two ladies conducting business on their cell phones for 15 holes. So much for concentrating on you game :-( with phones wringing and lots of talking . Have never experienced this before. I guess they did not care about others that were out for a golf round! They should have stayed in the office for the day, not the golf course!

Staff Unfriendly/More than Foursomes Allowed

Since last year the staff has become unfriendly. I am treated as though I do not matter. I played a 4 hour round in a foursome and was told we were not quick enough because we did not keep up with the group ahead of us (a threesome). This year I was stuck behind a fivesome. We caught up with the fivesome on 10. We were not allowed to pass and the back nine took 2 1/2 hours. When I complained I was told the fivesome were regulars and they were on pace. Lesson learned: check before heading out or booking as to whether or not a fivesome is ahead of you.

Nice course poor experience

We went through three carts, one had a bad wheel, one died on the 16th tee. There was obviously no ranger because we had a group in front of us that was at least two holes ahead of us when we started and had 4 groups behind us waiting by the 6th hole.

Signature holes

Beautiful course! There are at least five holes which could be considered a "signature hole" on this (one of my favorite) track. It has a number of tee boxes to suit any level of play. I wouldn't recommend the championship tees unless you have a #=|| of a drive though. At 7000+ yards they are quite challenging. All in all its a beautiful, very well maintained, challenging yet fair course. I'd play there any day.

First round of the year.

Great course and you have to hit the greens. Conditions were fine for the beginning of the year. Always windy but adds to the challenge.

Course in good shape this year

Last year was a tough year for courses in the area, but Foxford Hills seemed especially challenged. NOT THIS YEAR! The crew and a year later made a big difference. The temperature was average and the wind was brisk at times, but after a coupe of holes we were dialed in and had a thoroughly enjoyable time playing the course. The course is well laid out and moderately challenging. The back nine has some exceptional scenery and challenges.

Poor Player Management

This course management does nothing to improve the speed of play. I was in a threesome(waiting on the 15th tee), behind a twosome that was behind an incredibly slow foursome. When the foursome behind us had caught up to us and was also waiting on the 15th tee, I rode ahead to find that the foursome on the 16th hole had no one ahead of them playing on 17 or 18. After over 4 hours and just finishing 14 holes I left. It is difficult to golf when you spend 2/3 of the round waiting to hit.

Not Bad

Found a great deal online for $18 for 18 with cart. Weather was really bad, temps in high 40's and very windy 25+ course was in decent shape, fairways a little beat up from heavy play, greens need some work with ball mark repairs. They don't have a beverage cart, which is good and bad, we have fully stocked bars in our bags! They closed the entire clubhouse and locked the doors by 6pm on a Friday night. Can't figure that is good for business, they are throwing money away, we would have spent at least $100 at the bar with food and drinks. Poorly managed, but it is municipal, so go figure. Overall it is a decent course, but I'd be hesitant to pay retail for this course.

Challenging but needs tlc

Love this design. Challenging and scenic with each hole different. You need to be on your game to score well because it does force you to be creative with your shots and to use all the clubs in your bag. A great property
3 problems however...pace of play, greens and bunkers. We play here at least once a month and have yet to do so in 4 hours. ( We are accustomed to playing elsewhere at less than that.) So playing here is akin to watching grass grow. Which is a perfect lead in to the green conditions...they need to be cut. Long, slow, riddled with ball marks. Bunkers are hard packed and loaded with footprints. They need to be groomed on a regular basis to fluff up the sand. Too many othe nice courses in the area to have to pay above average prices for poor contitioning and pace of play.
