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.

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.

Go to course

This is a great go to course. In wonderful condition and a great layout. One day I'll play home 10 well... Very reasonable price and super value. Greens are in excellent condition as are the fairways. Always a treat to play this course. Staff is super friendly and pace was 3 hours 10 minutes. Great spot to have a beer afterwards. Highly recommend this course.

Fox run

Course was in very good shape except some greens were a little bumpy. One of the rangers was pretty annoying--he came to our group 3 times on front nine and not to tell us anything was wrong, but just to ask random questions. We didn't see the cart girl all day even though the starter said she would be out.
Overall the experience was pretty good, but it has potential to be great with a couple improvements.

This course is still growing in from changes made recently

No real problems with the course, how ever when I booked and tried to send emails to the other players, none of them went through. This is the third time this has happened. Why?

Wide open in Fall

No one on the course, some drainage issues and wet areas due to low lying terrain, greens were in good shape but a bit pock-marked as those ahead of me generally had not repaired their ball marks, no issues with leaves hiding your ball which is always a plus at this time of year.

Front nine is a great warm-up for the shot-making required on the back

Great course for a fall 18. Payed $30 and got around in under 4 hrs. Course is good for the everyman looking to get out and swing the sticks on a weekend afternoon. While we did wait on some holes, most groups let us play through if we wanted, which was great. Staff is friendly and grounds are well-kept (esp. this late in the year.) Carts have GPS which is HUGE for some of the value courses you play.

Great fun little course. Played for a fun day even though aerated, but what a value.

Has some challenging holes mixed in with only a hanndful of easy par fours. The value was excellent through GolfNow even though it was aerated. The rest of the course was in great shape. I really think that it's 4 or 5 nicely designed holes that bring you back.
The bar was set up nice to make this a gathering spot for after a round. Ed Horak

The course has some nice features.

The back nine will challenge you with all of the water.
Some of the fairways are a little close together.

Much better than reputation; exceeded expectations!

I loved that the rangers got involved and kept everyone moving as noted by sign on first tee. Teeboxes were dry and hard, but course maintenance was above average. Staff was well-informed and courteous. Sand traps actually had sand in them which has not been the case at many other local courses this year. Not the best course in the area but a good value and very fair use of resources and a better than average value.
