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.

Convenient location and friendly staffs!

Your course improved well but I saw that fairways of some holes are still bare the ground. If you have an attention to this, your course will be perfect. I felt all your staffs became very friendly, especially a starter. See you again!

Greens Nice, Fairways rough.

I've played this course many times over the past years. In all fairness, the area experienced record rains last week and this course floods often. That being said, the greens were probably the best I've ever seen them. The fairways (having not been cut in a while) were worse than some rough on many courses. The redesign on the back nine still needs time for the grass areas to "grow in". The fairways on this course, being lowlands and blue grass, have always been kind of poor in my opinion. The price they charge is comparable to many courses in the area with better fairways and greens. Still a "tight" and challenging fun layout.

course conditions

Due to the weather we were only allowed to play the front 9 holes. and it was cart path only due to the fairways being wet. Other than that this a really good golf course to play.

Location dictated and at $30 it was certainly worth it.

it's not the courses fault but the groups ahead of us really did
not fix their ball marks.........no biggie but I must have fixed 50 or so that were not mine. Thanks GolfNow - $30 with a cart this was a real good deal. Fox Run works hard to make it a decent course and it is. Fun....shot makers course -

First Time Playing

Avoid at all costs

First of all, there are (3) basic requirements to call a stretch of grass a golf course. 1) Tee Boxes, 2) Fairways, 3) Greens. Guess which one Fox Run is missing.....Fairways! It's a cow pasture pure and simple. This course is for hackers, and people who play golf once a year. In addition, here are 2 other fun experiences when you make the mistake of playing here: 1) losing a well-hit driver ball because it disappeared into an uncovered drain hole in the "fairway," and a ranger sitting on the first par 3 waving different foursomes to all hit on the green at the same time before you can go play the hole. We were told they have 8-12 people shoot on this hole before anyone can go putt because it is very long and no one can hit it. Seriously, it's like 180 yards and my gf was able to stick it on the green no problem, let alone my me who can hit an iron 250. Save yourself the cash. This course should be ashamed to charge the rates they do when there are soooo many amazing courses within driving distance (Highlands of Elgin, Bowes Creek, Prairie Landing, Whisper Creek, Foxford Hills, Blackstone, and more!). I wouldn't give them $5.
