Par 5 Resort

Played the national part of a buddies trip up to the resort. Its a great deal for 3 nights stay with unlimited golf plus free breakfasts. The national is a really nice links style course. Greens and fairways are in great shape. Lot of cool holes that have some risk and reward with them. Definitely a place I would go back to, to be able to play golf and relax and not worry about anyone else around you. The other courses their are average but again for the price and deal they are perfect.

Nice layout. Course needs some TLC. Clubhouse is a joke. First time that I have witnessed a mushroom growing on a green. Would be willing to pay 30 w/ cart, but 50 +. Cmon man!

we try and play course at least once a year many courses in area that are nice to play also

I played solo here, and was my first time here. I knew was a links course driving 2 1/2 hours up here to play. The staff head pro was a great guy. Great Layout, but typical, but what I thought made this course stand out from your typical boring Links course was that this course has a ton, and I mean a ton of sand and water here, and mounds every where. I play golf always where the ball lies, and let me tell you I found my share of fairway bunkers, or waste bunkers here. But found out that they were pretty easy to get out off. There sand is raked and groomed daily here, which I think stands out here. Most par 3's are not easy friends, especially hitting from the black tips tees I hit 2 balls here that morning, 1 from the Black, and 1 from the Whites just to see how I would fare, this course is 7,000 plus yards from the tips guys and gals. And About 6,300 Yards from the Whites. Heck hole 10 is 460 yards par 4 from the black tees. I bogeyed it but hey was on in 3. The fairways are nice and wide, and the greens, well again I found the greens to be in excellent tip top shape here, with a nice roll to them. and soft. I bit pricey but I loved playing this course. was chilly and got great laughs from the locals at 7:30am for showing up in shorts. I forgot that Lake Michigan is about 5 miles away, and the wind made it chilly, guys told me that it does not warm up here until June. Hole 17, I landed 1 1/2 feet away at 170 yards from the black tees to almost get my hole in one. But not quite. Hope to be back this summer to play the other 27 holes it has to offer. Fun course to bring beginners I think. Wide fairways. Thumbs UP!!! Blacks holed out in 41-41=82, and Whites 39-39=78. Never did see the Fox?????? LOL...

Tough if your not a straight hitter with the many hills , sand and water. Very challenging . But was fun to play a different type of course.

Decent condition. Was raining and carts didn't have club covers so that was inconvenient.

We actually played the National course, The course was not bad. The Pro there was terrible. No customer service. No help at all. Just seemed mad that he was at work

It's a decent test and there are several signature holes along the water, which are fun to play. Greens were good, but everything else was not the best...fairways hadn't been mowed in several days and was like playing out of the first cut of rough, and they were spotty; same for the tee boxes. Overall I like the course, however would not pay their standard rate for 18 + cart, which is around $50. If they kept it in better shape, I would play this course a few times per year.

I have a good friend who takes his entire family to Fox Hills Resort each fall for a family golf vacation. He always talks about the place. So, on my return from Green Bay, I decided to stop and check it out. It helped that GolfNow had a great deal. I played The National. Underwhelming would be the best description. The layout is very nice, but the condition of the course was below average. Fairways were choppy, grass growing in much of the bunker system, and beat-up greens. I guess I was expecting much more. Pace was fantastic, as very few people were out playing ahead of me. However, it did seem like there were a good number of people out playing. I imagine this course could be a gem if cared for, but it appeared the course, and the entire resort, was old and looked a bit worn. I wonder if they are having trouble producing enough revenue to truly care for the facility? I doubt I'll go back, but glad I have now played it.

Good course, if you like links course. Greens in very good condition. Huge flocks of geese are disappointing and definitely reduce the enjoyment. 4 or 5 holes contain so many geese that you have to be aware of them, play around them, and "step gingerly" so you don't step in their 'remains'.

The greens were in really nice shape. Only complaint would be the balls flying in from other fairways. I guess this is more common with a lot of vacation golfers.

Not my idea of a links course, just overgrown hills, weedy fairways and a bunch of useless waste traps. There was no water to drink on the course, no beverage cart service. All we saw was goose droppings everywhere !

We weren't able to take a cart because of the recent rains, which we understand, but the pull carts we were offered had flat tires, broken straps, squeaky rusty wheels and were basically useless. Men's bathroom in the "clubhouse" was out of order.

We will not be back no matter how great the price.

group of four ahead of us were very slow, we ended up at the T box before they teed of four times. We had hoped they would have let us play through but no dice. There was no one behind us and the group in front of them were moving at a good pace

The course did not have our golf now confirmation # so I would recommend printing the copy. Only the white course was available for carts...OK shape considering the recent rains and wind.

No signs up on any hole, rough was not cut in awhile hard to find balls. We were disappointed for a Holiday weekend

My grandson & I enjoyed the challenge of the National Course. I was a little surprised that it took us 5 hrs. We were paired up with a young couple who were very nice. The yardages on the score card were not always accurate and can be confusing when you don't know the course.

The starter and staff can be crabby - I've seen this playing here on several occasions, and I wish they would understand how this detracts from a golfer's experience.

Pace of play can be slow - I've never gotten out of here in under 4 hours.

Course conditions are generally good - tee boxes always seem long and overly divoted, but greens are relatively well maintained and fairways / waste bunkers / tall grass areas are all what they should be for the style of course this is.

Final comment - depth perception on approach shots are made more difficult because they use short 5' flagsticks, and yardages frequently seem "off" when you're standing over your shots. I and many people I've played with have noted a higher-than-average number of balls that either come up surprisingly short or fly over the green. At least that's always what makes me play this course higher than my handicap, and probably part of the design.

Enjoyed paying this course. Only a few times did we have to wait at the t box.. Wish we could have played the blue course more. We where staying at fox hill resort enjoyed this course and staff was friendly we never went and played any other local courses during our week stay

for a resort course it was in great shape. the only issue we had is the dismissiveness to the golf now program. we had a 7 AM tee time and they had some outing at 10 and were worried about us finishing and complained we should call the course - not golfnow! then dont allow the tee times to golf now. not our fault - we just wanted to play and made a time at 10 PM at night - were you open then? but the course was in good shape and even though it rained earlier, they were still cutting greens and raking traps. god value for the money!

We played the white tees which played about 6300 yds. It is a links style course with quite a bit of wasteland between holes. Many holes have mounds between holes too. Some have foot deep grass. Overall the course can be challenging from every tee block.
