Excellent course, good challenge and has enough tee boxes for beginners as well as advanced golfers. That helps to keep a good pace.

Good Track, less than average experience

Dissapointing for a Golf Visions course, greens were shaggy and very bumby. Pace of play is not controlled and was a a death march, waited 10+ minutes for nearly every shot. Like the layout, was my first time, very likely will not return.

Very nice course

This a great course for golfers who are not novice. It is a fairly challenging course with a great pace of play on a Friday afternoon. The course is very well maintained and had a good mix of challenge and fun. The only complaint is that the greens were a bit chewed up, but other than that the course was in good condition.

Course challenging but fair

Course was in great shape. Set-up is challenging but fair which made for a good round. Foxford has a nice mix of link style and traditional tree lined holes.

This course has scenic views on the back nine

It was a good experience, course in very nice condition except the greens were exceptionally slow. Other than that, very pleased and would go back again.

A fun track. But allow plenty of time.

A lot of fun. Course was in good condition. Pace of play was terrible. Five hours to play. They need a ranger who speeds up the slow groups.

Very good design

For April, course was in decent condition. Greens were somewhat slow and bumpy, as expected. Very nice layout--one of the better public courses in NW suburbs of Chicago. Multiple tees give every golfer a good challenge. Play it for sure.

Very scenic with lots of wetlands.

Nice track with a great variety of hole designs spaced out well inside homesites. Lack of GPS made first visit tough to club. Greens putt true.

Without being overly punishing it demands attention to the little things .

Without being overly punishing it demands attention to the little things. Variety of tees allows you to pick your poison. Check the slope ratings from the different tees. You need to pay attention to where the pin is as the greens are a lot of fun with some interesting slopes and bumps and humps. Back nine is really beautiful. Overall a nice variety of holes and terrain. there are no unfair holes although 16 is tighter than a pair of skinny jeans.
I try and get here at least once a year,

Very poor customer service.

Arrived at the course for our tee time, checked in and was told everything is running on time. Got to the first tee and was told they have a golf outing that has priority over our tee time. They did not know when we would be able to tee off, but it was not going to be anytime soon. Most courses would have slotted us in between groups. We were told the outing was booked after we made our reservation and was booked over our time. We requested a refund (prepaid tee time) which they agreed to. No thought on their part to aploogize or willingness to offer something like a 50% off rate to get us to come back. This couse is an hour drive each way so we will not be returning.

Every hole was a unique challenge.

The course is well maintained; the staff professional and helpful. Foxford Hills is a challenging course and its appeal is in the uniqueness of each hole. The availability of nice bathroom facilities and cold water while on the course was an added nice touch. The back nine holes provide a great finish with equal measures of picturesque settings, unique holes, and challenging play.

Very nice course, with some interesting holes. Some in the woods, some laid out in the open terrain, but all well maintained. Nice people there.
