Well-maintained fairways, challenging undulating greens, and a water-laden back nine consistently impress players across all skill levels. Friendly staff and affordable pricing make this course an outstanding value compared to pricier local alternatives.

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.

Great Course

I went there with my daughter and we had a great experience. This was her first time golfing this year and she throughly enjoyed the course. We thought the starter was very friendly and easy to talk to. We weren’t rushed and were able to enjoy the course at our own pace. The course did play fast, we finished 9 holes in less than 2 hours.

Gouging

I love Fox Run it’s one of my go to local courses, in normal times I feel the fees are fair. I was surprised by the increase where the rate was almost doubled for a weekday round. I understand golf courses have taken a beating during the quarantine, but do you have to make it up on the backs of folks who have been starving to play? I’ll search for more reasonable rates.

Great course - ranger was rude

The course is in great condition and most of the staff was pleasant - with the exception of the ranger who pulled up behind us with his cart while we were on the 9th hole and stared us down because we were 15 minutes behind pace. The group behind us wasn’t anywhere near us nor were they complaining and no one was on the tee box at the first hole. He was then talking to a group of people outside and made a comment to everyone about our pace of play. On top of that he forced us to skip the 10th hole. We do not plan on playing here again for that reason alone.

Great Course, not a friendly staff

I live across the course and would like to play more on this enjoyable golf. But the staff always seems a bit grumpy, particularly the old guy who checks your tee time. People come to play and enjoy the day. Try to relax guys.

Fox Run Golf Course

This golf course is for the beginner+ golfers. Staff and overall everything was fine. Just extremely slow play. Was waiting on the 10th tee for over 20 minutes just to tee off. In my opinion not acceptable. Oh well, it was a learning experience.

Good, short course but incredibly slow

Loved that course and features. Was very short but with all of the water it kept it fairly challenging and fun. Golf carts were nice and the course was in good shape. The pace of play was terrible. It took over 4 and a half hours to play 18. People in front of us were not keeping up the pace and the team behind us hit into us a few times. Otherwise, lovely course.
