Fox Run Golf Links

We have played here before, but didn't remember it very well. What a great surprise. Course was in excellent shape. We play at Cantigny in Wheaton fairly often, but this course condition was comparable, for a much lower price. Starter was really nice, greens were fast but fair. This will be now on our regular list to play often. Would absolutely recommend - you wont be disappointed.

Considering the lack of rain lately the course is in very good shape. Greens are especially nice, but fairways are in good shape too. Pace was a little slow because of some walkers in front of us. Good experience for my first time there.

I recognize the actions/attitudes of one starter or ranger don’t reflect the organization as a whole, but I felt absolutely disrespected.

To start, the group in front was walking off the 1st green. As we were getting ready to tee it up, my group was told to “hold up” from teeing off because we arrived at the tee a few minutes before our scheduled time. I accepted this. In fact, I applauded that he held us up as to not run into the group in front.

However, after walking to our carts off the 9th green, my group was asked to pick up the pace, which I respect, however part of the starter/ranger’s reasoning for asking us to pick up the pace was there were 2 foursomes behind us (one on the fairway, and one waiting on the tee box).

note: these two groups were playing a best ball scramble.

When I explained to the gentleman that approached us, “we can pick it it up, but those two groups are playing a best ball scramble.”

He responded, “I don’t care.”

He continued to tell us that there was an open hole in front of us, and that his time had us 10 minutes behind pace, which is fine. I completely understand he has a job to do. However, by the time we arrived to the 10th tee, according to our cart GPS, we were 2 minutes ahead of pace.

At this point that’s neither here nor there. Pace of play is and will continue to be a issue, but being told, “I DON’T CARE.” Is completely unacceptable.

Side note: we teed off at 10:30am and finished at 2:41pm (4 hours and 11 minutes; score card has a pace of play 4 hours and 15 minutes)

When booking, it says cart fee included. As no indication in your confirmation, golf courses tell me to pay for the cart. Please indicate it somewhere in the confirmation.

It's fun, challenging and you use every club in the bag.
The staff keeps the place in great shape and I have to say, the 13th hole is currently living rent free in my head. One of these days I'll par the miserable thing. If it's the same day I die, I'll have birdied that miserable thing.

Here's to the next attempt!

Course is in great shape and pace for a Sunday afternoon was very good.

Relatively short, but don't be fooled. Few straight holes, and water is in play on a fee. Uneven lies are everywhere, and the greens have lots of undulations. Every club in your bag will be needed here. Course is beautifully manicured and well maintained. A must play.

Had not played here in awhile so we weren't sure what to expect, but the course was in great shape. The starter and rangers are old guys like me so they were very nice to us and made the round more enjoyable. We got a great deal on Golfnow so that made it even better. Hope to return soon!

This course while perceptually may look easy as you stare down the fairways, you must play smart golf and as always hit it straight. Staff was super nice, especially the starter and course ranger(s).
