Rating 70.1

Fox Run Golf Links opened in 1984 but over the past two years the course underwent a major renovation that made the layout both more challenging for serious players but also more forgiving for the recreational golfer. The multi-million-dollar renovation included enhancements to the hole layouts, redesigning the bunkers, installing a new irrigation system, and creating new practice and chipping areas. Water comes into play often throughout the golf course and you'll find elevation changes on nearly every green. The water holes will be especially tough if you have a tendency to slice the ball. Thanks to the varied layout, which includes some holes that are wide open and others that are more target-style golf, you will get the opportunity to work on different types of shots. Fox Run Golf Links is a challenging but fair test that players of all skill levels can enjoy.

Expect delays

On tee 1 they’re already backed up 20-30 mins. Their tee times are way too close for what pace of play is

Good course that is a little short at a great price

Really enjoyable round. Played relatively fast through the front 9 but slowed down on the back. Could have played faster if there was a ranger to push groups along.

Shorter course, so it plays perfect for a new golfer like me. Lots of water and trees to the right, so not great for someone with a slice who wants to keep balls.

No beverage cart out which was a surprise, but picked up food and drink at the turn.

Driving range is 5 minute drive from the course

Fair and fun

The first par five is now more playable since they opened up the fairway. Greens held shots and putted true. Good speed also. The rough is cut to a fair height and you can still advance the ball. New clubhouse is really nice with simulators. Only negative was the soda machine on back nine not working.

If only the range had easy access

Above average course in great shape. Pace was a little slow. If you plan to warm up, make sure you go early since the range is on the others side of the course. Good value.

Good day

Only had time for nine, so played the front with my wife. Enjoyed the day. Tees/ greens in good shape and starter placed us well with no waiting for the group ahead. It didn’t seem like the front matched the slope rating, so I assume the. back is tougher. Will be back to play that! Good experience! and really nice clubhouse!

Nice course for any level

Much nicer than some off the other courses in the area and feels challenging without being too hard. Course was well maintained, pace of play was great on first 9 little slow coming back around.

Overall, very good course but a bit narrow on some holes, so keep head on a swivel.

Nice track! Nice price!

Really liked my round. Saturday afternoon, pace of play was good. A foursome in front of me really should have let me play through, but still finished just a tick under 4 hours. A couple of pretty challenging holes, only one felt unfair, water down both sides and narrow fairway. Course was in great shape, staff was great, grab and go food was good and the menu looked good, but couldn’t stay. Next time!
