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.

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

Great rate for early afternoon. Pace of play was a little slow, but didn't effect the round too much. Will go back again.

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.

A nice course with plenty of hazards to grab your attention.

My impression of a golf course relies first and foremost on the quality of its greens. The greens of Fox Run were in excellent condition. So I was very satisfied with the greens. However, I can't say the same thing for the fairways. The fairways were in desperate need of cutting.

Many of the holes require straight shooting. What I mean by that is there is not a lot of room for bailing out on these holes. So either hit a good shot or face the consequences. I personally like that on a golf course.

The pace of play was very slow. I've encountered this a number of times when playing Fox Run. So if you're a fast player (which I am), expect to play at a slower pace than you're used to. I tolerated this because I received a great deal on GolfNow. And besides I like the golf course.

Course was in great shape and the greens were wonderful.

I was happy with the upkeep of the course and the entities of the golf course were great. On the other hand, the staff wasn't very friendly. I mean no one... They had a starter at on of the par 3 to make sure to wave the next group when we landed on the green but we had a group in front of us that were very slow. I did mention it to the starter and he said he would look into it. I believe he never did.

Decent course, fairways need attention

Greens were nice, some fun holes. GPS units were in carts (nice surprise).

Fairways need a lot of work. The fairway cut is anywhere from 1 - 3 inches (basically the first cut of rough, some spots even worse).

A great find. Very fun course, I'll definitely be back.

There are several very well designed holes on this course that make it a lot of fun to play. There is a good mix of challenging holes and holes that are easier to score on. The fairways were a little long when we played, but the greens were in very good shape. I would definitely recommend this course.

Course changes were worth the wait.

They finally finished the update of the back nine. Added new bunkers and other various changes (nothing major). Overall, I like most of the changes. New tee box on 10 gives more options for your tee shot. The changes on 13 slightly disappointed me, but I think they were made for flood control and not improved playability.

Course in excellent shape, thoroughly enjoyed our outing

Course in excellent shape. Greens a bit fast and sometimes hard to read. Hole #10 always a challenge but fun to play. Have played Fox Run many times and have always enjoyed the experience (especially when I play well). Looking forward to playing the course in the near future. Reasonable rates and courteous, friendly staff make the experience that much more enjoyable. One of the better public courses in the area and I highly recommend it.
