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.

Fantastic course

Love playing here .price point and condition of the greens and fairways are well worth it .a few blind green and tight fairways adds some difficulty to the course for those seeking a challenge and open fairways as well for the higher handicapped golfers.

Very nice course. Condition was above average. Some holes didn't agree with my shot shape, but none the less, great course to play.
