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.

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.

Hello, Bruce101776. Thank you for reviewing the course. Your feedback about the course is important to us and we are glad to see you enjoyed the course aside from the recent weather. With the recent rain we are working to get everything up to par. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Fox Run Golf Links. We hope to see you again soon.

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.

Nice Course

For a public, miminicipal course it’s in great shape. Challenge layout. It felt like two different courses. The front 9 was not as challenging as the back, but all of it was in great shape. Will definitely be back.

Took way too long

One of the most excruciating rounds of golf I've ever played , Us and the twosome in front of us waited on every hole on the back nine. Called the ranger to complain. He came up and said they were playing at PACE of play.What a joke. If it was a Sunday and not a Monday I would understand a long round there was nobody in front of them and nobody behind us. That was on hold 12 and never came back to see if they have sped up. They should have at least let us play through as a foursome it was a hundred degrees out and two guys were walking in there group I understand we had carts playing faster golf etiquette let us play through I thought the ranger job was to speed up the pace of play. I play every week booked another course this week not sure if I will go back did not expect a 3-hour round but four-and-a-half is ridiculous

Thank you for playing Fox Run Golf Links. It’s unfortunate to hear we didn’t meet your expectations but the pace of play on Monday was moving along smoothly. Your group finished in 4 hours, which is right on target for many municipal golf courses during the summer. Our ranger did a fantastic job of making sure all golfers were playing ahead pace.

So slow

Minimum 5 hour round with little to no help from the rangers. They pushed every group back because the first group woke up late so they let them tee off late. We teed off at 7 am and it still took every bit of 5 hours. It was also in the 90s and not a single water jug on the course. I think there might have been 1 water fountain.

Too much!

We tried as usual to play our round from the white tees. Unfortunately, excessive rainfall dictated that our shots got virtually no roll. As such we moved up to gold at hole 10.
