Elevation and hitting to blind greens.

Loved it. One’s creativity is tested with the elevations and especially the blind greens. All but two sand traps were maintained nicely. What is needed is more separation between tee boxes. As commonly occurs, the par 3 tee boxes need some TLC.

All in all, I look forward to my return.

First Time Playing

First time playing

Thoroughly enjoyed the different elevations and blind second shots. Fairways and greens in very good condition. Interestingly the black and silver tees were most often only 10 yards difference. The clubhouse grill and halfway house have a limited menu……..hot dogs and brats. The fairway is not difficult to play out of.

All in all, an enjoyable Saturday afternoon.

Looking forward to playing here again.

A green too far.

Nice course but needs more tees.

Several par 4s that are 10 yards shorter than the par 5s. Too much.

Fox lake c.c.

Always in good shape, this visit the greens were

A bit slow but rolled true. Far more difficult than

One would think. Very tight driving areas, seldom

Get a level lie unless you hit the center of the fairway . Always a challenge, a great test from the tips
