Great winter conditions

Doing a lot of work off fairways to improve cutting trees improve drainage. All tee boxes were closed. Doing what you need to, so summer golf will be great, Greens were perfect to putt even though they were dormant. Sand not taken care of, but sand is okay to hit out of since it is the proper sand for a trap. Had 9 pars on the front and played in one hour and 40 minutes, not bad.

Fox Creek 10/30/2016

Golf Now provided a very competitive rate for a good golf course. Temporary tees changed the round a bit but for the most part still a very challenging layout. Staff was friendly and greens were in pretty good shape for this time of the year.

Great Experience

The staff was friendly and professional. Starter gave us tips for first couple holes, as this was our first time playing Fox Creek. The course is in great shape. Greens were true and fast. There is also a lot of sand.

We booked another tee time for next Sunday.

Weather has not been kind

Fox Creek is a beautiful golf course that being said even the finest maintenance crew in the world can't fight mother nature. And this summer, mother nature has been challenging . Therefore anywhere grass grows crabgrass seems to follow. Having said that Fox Creek is still a beautiful course and fabulous to play. it challenges you and then it reward you. And it always inspires you with its beauty. Hopefully Next summer will be more forgiving regarding nature, and the beauty of the course will be even more apparent.

Tough Golf Course, Needs TLC

For 17.50, the course is OK, but I'd rather pay a little more for better conditioning. The tee boxes and fairways were zoysia and in good shape, they just need to be mowed. The recent rains may have kept them from doing that, but it looks like this had been the case for a longer time period. Course is long and tough enough without grass that yields no roll. Greens were very decent, slightly slow, but in good shape. Bunkers had not been raked or groomed for some time. They might as well take them out if they are not going to maintain the sand. Mosquitoes around the creek, so bring bug spray. Course is tough, so tee selection is a prime factor here. The rough is all crabgrass and there were some bare landing zones in front of the greens. Obviously, this course has a tight maintenance budget. For the price I can't criticize too much, but if the quality of the layout were matched by conditioning, this course would be a must play for public golfers. I would have rated this course much higher had there been some attempt to rake the bunkers, and control the crabgrass just off the fringe.

Looks great this year

Two years ago this course was in rough shape so it was a pleasant surprise to find excellent fairways and greens in good shape.

The course layout is challenging and requires real course management to avoid a blowup hole that can ruin your round. I look forward to playing several more round this season

Tough times at The Fox

Tees- grass is really tall, and is 25% weeds

Fairways- grass is really tall, like what the first cut of rough should be

Rough- nuked. A mix of mud and weeds.

Greens- very soft and slow. Consistent at least.

This course used to be special. It has a very memorable layout, but the owners have neglected it for over a decade. They need extensive tree-trimming throughout the property. Cool course that could be worth playing again one day.

Great Course, Play Smart Shots

First time playing Fox Creek and I really enjoyed this golf course, the greens, fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. The course does play tight so you have to make sure you play "smart" golf but overall, its a great place to play.

The only negative in regards to our round there was the pace of play, we waited on the tee box with at least one other group from the 7th hole through the 18th hole. It made our round last 4.5 hours instead of under 4.

I will be going back and would recommend this course to anyone.

Wonderful value!!!

This course is in great shape. Fairways are green and well maintained, as well as the greens. Tee boxes could use a little water from time to time. Great value, can be a tough course with out long, straight drives!

will definetly be back

It has been a couple of years since our last round here. Too many closer courses to home. Couldn't remember too many of the holes which would have helped a lot. A few of the holes had sharper doglegs than what showed on the score card. The course is in awesome condition. Highly recommend.

Much improved

I have played this course over the last three years sporadically and in this past year, year and a half it has shown an amazing amount of improvement to both the fairways and the tee boxes. The greens were always in great shape.

Pretty course

Tee boxes are down for the year. As a first-timer I probably would've waited until next season had I known. In fairness, the price was lowered to compensate. Greens were still in good shape. Lots of tough holes, back is especially tough. Small, but nice thing - the carts have more power than most.
