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.

Challenging but rewarding

Played this course in the past and always leave feeling I could have scored better. The greens and pin placements are tough which lead to several three putts. The conditions and pace were excellent.

The best people

This course has the best front desk, starters and rangers. Play on the back nine was slow so the ranger moved us up a hole or two and we played the missed holes when done.

Super friendly and helpful people.

SLOOOOOW

well the staff is friendly but the pace of play was very slow. Sunday afternoon weather is beautiful. I have not played this course in over 20 years and now I remember why. SLOW PLAY. They mixed up walkers and riders in one foursome and it backed up play. The ranger paid little attention and did nothing.

NOT IMPRESSED

Arrived early to have lunch and make an afternoon of it. Web page said they had the Fox Den for food. Only one lady behind the counter to try to serve everyone including golfers at the turn. Place was less than clean.
Was told might get on early in club house, turns out got off l5 min. late. Waited the whole round. Starter and ranger were poor. Ranger complained about cart being off path where carts had clearly been crossing, but did nothing about moving play along. Place is close to home, course was unimpressive (greens were in good shape), but probably won't play again. Too many other better courses in area.

Fast Pace Course

The course was very nice and challenging. My only complaint is that the Golf Marshalls are all over you to keep up, go faster and seems like they want you done fast even though we where held up by the group in front of us on every hole which put us behind. We had to skip a hole to finish on time. They claim that they had a Golf outing which is why they pressured us but other reviews say the same thing about the Marshall being all over you. I probably won't be going back to this course, I'm looking to have fun and relax not to be rushed....

Not Worth The Money

$63 per round on weekends for a non resident is absolutely ridiculous for this course and nowhere near worth it. The greens were decent but not great and there were quite a large number of dirt patches throughout the course on fairways just left to be. The course is plain and with the supposed $2 million in renovations they did over the last 2 years I see almost the same exact course as it was with the addition of 3 grass mounds and the elimination of some trees. I wouldn't pay any more than $40ish to play here. Plenty of other courses for cheaper that are nicer.

Overall a very good experience

Haven't golfed here in a few years. The course seems to be the same, great shape with somewhat difficult holes. Front 9 is easier than the back 9. Will play here again.

Good Course

This is a great course full of par 4 and 5s. The fairways are wide, the people are nice, and the grounds look nice. We had a horrible rain recently that you could tell damaged the grounds a bit but they were already being repaired. The only thing is that the burger is was served was very pink in the middle and I couldn't eat it. Stick to more basic foods like hot dogs or sandwiches. I will be back here again as I really liked it. The only other item is that my wife golfed for the first time and needed rental clubs. We don't have high expectations of rentals but I believe that should at least be cleaned. Everything else was great

Things have changes since their renovation

The quality of this course has become terrible over the past two years. The fairways are considered to be like cow pasture. The round took 5 hours to complete. There were three Rangers on the course who did nothing to speed up play. This fairways were cut 1 inch. The greens were probably the only thing that were good on this course.

Straight hitters only

I've played this course a number of times, and each time I tell myself no more. There are a number of holes, especially on the back nine, that are are very penal on errant shots with absolutely no bailout available. Once you get going bad, it will snowball here. It's a great course for the very straight hitter. Anyone else, get ready to be frustrated. Holes 4, 10, 13, 16 and 18 are diabolical and unforgiving. 11 and 14 aren't much better. A new bunker short and right of green on 18 turned that hole into ridiculous.

This year's Fox Run round

Fox Run has made some improvements to the course & clubhouse. Staff was friendly. Course was in pretty good shape, greens running pretty quick. Like most places, players don't repair ball marks on greens & course should send out staff at the end of the day. Fun day though.
