4 groups on every hole
Will never be back again 4 groups on every hole 6.5 hrs to play 18 holes. Starter/Club house needs to manage the course better
Good Value Course
The course was nice. Cart path only on the day I played due to heavy rains. It is an older course with smaller greens. Alot of good scoring opportunities on some par 4's and 5's. There was not much shade throughout the lakes and hills courses but also not alot of tree trouble. I would spend the extra money to play the beautiful gold fox course next time around.
Third time I played this course and the pace of play is horrible They do teee times every 8 minutes, there will always be a backup.
Fox Classic
Played Lakes 9 and Hills 9
Both were good
Tee boxes were good
Greens were good
Sand traps could use softer sand or raking as they were very firm
Staff was nice and friendly :)
Second time I tried this course and both times it was very slow over 6 hours to get in a round of golf. Won’t play there again
original piece of a hustling golf facility
I played the classic fox a lot as a kid with my grandparents. Besides the two munis in Ann Arbor I probably played this course the most. So it was fun to get back after about 20+ years. I came in on a whim in the afternoon and was able to get out before the leagues. A lot of rain had the course pretty empty even though the Strategic Fox and Golden Fox both looked really busy. This facility hustles like few other golf facilities I've ever seen. I played the Lakes & Hills nines. Like a lot of public layouts from the 1920s, it seems like the greens have shrunk over time based on where the original fillpad boundaries appear to be. That means a few par 3s that are over 180 yards into very small greens. The Hills nine is a little more interesting with some brawny par 4s with fairways featuring a lot of undulation to them. The setting is very pleasant with no homes and it's a solid value in metro Detroit. I've still never played the Golden Fox! Maybe next time.
Fox Hills
We played this course twice while visiting with our kids in Michigan. Course is in excellent shape, pace of play very good. We will play here again next time we visit.
Perfect Greens and Fairways
This was one of the nicest coarse I have played this summer and I have played a lot. This is the first review i have ever written on Golf Now and i was extremely impressed. I would pay 50 bucks to play this coarse so if you can get it for a Hot Deal pick it up immediately. I will play this coarse again. Super Fast True Greens that are not super difficult and the fairways were in near perfect condition. Play this coarse. Great for Average and Above average Golfers. Also has a nice grass only driving range.
Not the best green conditions
Greens were patchy and full of ball marks. Tee boxes and greens are located close to each other. So watch out for stray balls flying in your direction.
Other then that, staff was very friendly. The deal from goflnow probably saved a poorer rating. Will not play here again.
Good Course
Took the fiance and mother-in-law to this course. I thought it was a very well kept course with some great views. The course was not very difficult being a par , but was great practice for selecting to correct club to make the green. The course was slow during the front 9 because of a group of kids getting lessons. however, it opened up after the 9th. I plan to play this course at least once a year for now on. The only downside was all the footgolf. Made the course feel cheaper, so far I am not a fan. I would prefer if the footgolf holes were not so close to the greens.
Great course but.....
Normally this course is in great condition from tee to green, but this particular Sunday everything was lush and somewhat overgrown as if they fertilized the entire course and limited the mowing to the bare minimum. The greens were so slow that gauging the speed was next to impossible not only from putt to putt but different from green to green. I'm sure it'll be in tip-top shape before too long. As always their practice facility is the best in the area.
They've packed it in for the season.
Staff seemed untrained and clueless and totally disinterested in the concept of customer service. I haven't played here in a couple of years and course conditions have slipped considerably. Doubt that I'll come back anytime soon. Only positive was the great price we got on golfnow.com 75% savings is the only way I would consider playing here again.
