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.

Good course

This golf course was very beautiful and the layout was challenging enough for any grade of players and all the stuffs were very friendly when we played. While, there was no water supply on anywhere on the course and some of ball washers did not have water and detergent in it. Overall, we like this course and want to play again.

Great course!

I thought the course was in great shape. They were preparing for a late tournament and got shuffled if my cart fast but other then that it was great.

Some of the workers inside were not paying attention and were on their phones but once someone let them know they helped. Suggestion would be no phones where people can see you using them.

No water OR drink cart to be seen on 4th of July weekend

Course was fantastic and fun. Greens played a little tough that day. Only drawback was there was no water Jugs on the course.... I mean zero. It was 93 degrees and muggy, and we only saw the drink cart once on the 4th hole. Loaded up on bottled water and Gatorade at the turn (all WAY overpriced which felt intentional) but we were still dying of thirst for the last hour.

We were one of the first groups out as a 6:32am tee time. Looked like the place got backed up for those that teed off at a more normal hour (8-10am).

Nice course

Nice course but due to recent rains it was cart path only for carts and a number of areas were very soggy and wet, including fairways! Definitely got my feet wet and had to endure a number of problems with wet areas not allowing you to play the ball.

Pretty good overall. Tee boxes could use improvement.

The course was pretty well maintained except for the tee boxes. We were one of the only few playing that day so it couldn’t have been all from the same day but there were tons of divots on the tee boxes. It looks like they just kept moving the box to the area with the least divots but the groundskeepers don’t seem to do anything to the old divots themselves. Once you’re off the tee, the rest of the course was nice.

Impossible weather

We had to quit because a storm came up and we had to quit because course called us off. They told me that they could not give us a rain check because we were using golf now and should request one from you.

Please advise.

Pretty good condition considering weather

The course was in pretty good shape considering the amount of rain we have had. Greens were in pretty good shape, however there were many unprepared ball marks, maybe they didn't get rolled because of the weather. Rough is always high here and this day was no exception. Staff was friendly, but you can't take the cart into the parking lot to get your clubs. GPS on cart was adequate and a nice feature for the price.
