Decent courses but unlikely to play again

The good: pace wasnt bad and some of the holes are interesting and fun to play. Good elevation changes.

The bad:

Greens were hard as a rock. Near impossible to hold a green when there's a bunker in front and short irons rolled out 30+ feet. (I'm an 11 handicap and don't usually have this issue at most courses). This isn't a links-style course in Scotland. Water your greens, please.

A handful of holes have side-by-side fairways that aren't that wide which leads to a bottleneck of cross-fairway play. Some have blind shots so it's just a mess. Pace of play wasn't bad overall but this is just a design flaw.

The carts have issues with parking brakes not engaging. I had issues with this and saw someone in another group have their cart fly down a steep hill into a tree. This is an injury and lawsuit waiting to happen.

Lastly, make 6 a par-4 and 17 a par-5. I think that's the longest par 4 I've ever played, which includes near 7000 yard courses.

Bottom of the list

Went to play fox lake again and I know is that time of year when the leafs start falling but most greens were covered with leafs and debris making it impossible to put! Course layout is just terrible but if you like a golf course with lots of hills and blinds spots go try it but I would not recommend it.

Great experience

The course was in great shape for the fall. The greens had been punched, but they use small pin holes and fill them with sand. They were rolling true. The fairways were clean of leaves and in very good condition. The staff is also top notch.
