Played the red course today with great, but windy weather. 14-18mph winds made the already tight greens a challenge, but the course plays fair. Its a bit of an odd layout with all of the par 5's on the back 9. Its easy to feel good making the turn, but after 3 par 5's in 5 or 6 holes, your score quickly adjusts. For this time of year the course was in great shape, the greens were fast and groomed well. The only "complaint" i can make is there were a couple of greens that got covered in what I can only call "tree stuff." But i can't blame the crew for that with the winds we saw today. Course played fast today. We finished in 3:20, due tp the fact that we had no one in front of us but a walker who started 30 minutes before us. An event on the white course and the winds likely steered people to the other courses in the area. I look forward to going back and playing the white course.

I had very little interaction with the staff, and i did not go into the club house at all. i went into the pro shop hoping to buy a lighter for my cigar, but they didn't have any. However the guy behind the desk pulled out 6 matches in a box and happily gave them to me, So % Stars for the staff!

Played 2 rounds of 9 today. $16 plus $5 for a walking cart, and $9 to replay. Did first 9 taking my sweet time and played it in 1h30min. 2nd round had a couple slower groups in front took a couple minutes over 2hr. My solo round eventually ended as a four-some since we all started waiting together we figured we may as well play together as well.

Pro shop staff were awesome, course was well kept and very playable. Course was a bit easier than I would have liked, but I knew that going in. No par 5's on the course and it pars at 32 for 9 holes.

Overall a very enjoyable course that i wouldn't hesitate to play again at. Could use a driving range or warm up area, but that's about the only negative thing I can say about that.

The bar had a decent selection of craft beer on tap and the club sandwich was very good. Again great staff, very personable and fun.

Would and will play again. Course is great for seniors as it has shorter holes and only 9 holes.

Played a 730 tee time. We started about 5-10 minutes late, but the pace of play was good as our foursome had 3 somes in front of us. Rich at the first tee was great. Conditions of the course were very good for this late in the year and for not having rain in the last few weeks.

I would play again.

We played a early morning round, we were held up until the group in front of us was done teeing 2 by the staff. Apparently we were waiting for a staff members son and friend. Me and my buddy walked the course with carts. He's an low 80's golfer, I'm in my 1st year, but playing low 100's. Played 105 that day. Were met by staff at green of 7 and told to pick up pace. Next 2 in 20 minutes. Came out of 9 in 2 h 7 min. Met again at 10 to be told group ahead was too far ahead, meanwhile the two some we were with was taking 2 tee shots at most holes, yet we were constantly being the ones told to hurry up because we were walking. Ended up being told to hurry up 5 times, other two some 0. we were held up by them to tee 1 and from there on out we were the "problem" two some's 3 year old son even met and rode with from 9-11. we didn't care, but were still pegged as the problem. Ended up finishing 2 holes in front of group behind us. All in all i love playing Fox Bend, but the staff was lousy that day. Ended up finishing 2 H 7 M. Course says you should be off in 4 H flat. I get we were a bit late but don't blame us for holding us for the other 2 some, and don't keep telling us to hurry when we are 2 holes ahead of the trailing group.

Worst part of the course is the walk from 9-10. you have to cross the entire parking lot and driving range. Its a bit ridiculous.

A well maintained park district course. Staff is friendly, pro shop is helpful. No lights on the driving range, and no short game area. But they don't usually care if you chip to the putting green when not busy.
