Fox Hollow Golf Club
Played On 04/11/2016Nice place.. with a minus or 2
I've been playing here on and off since it opened. Always in great shape overall. Just a tip: play tees for your ability, this isn't a pushover course. Greens are decently large, but firm and putt true. There are a couple of minuses lately however. The pace was a bit slow this time around which I haven't really experienced before. Maybe the snowbirds were trying to cram in an extra round before heading back (weather up north was miserable while down). The other downer was the condition of the bunkers. They seem to have compacted over the last few seasons as well as lost some sand. They LOOK all pristine and white but are nearly impossible to play a proper bunker shot if you wind up in the wrong place. Very inconsistent- they certainly can use a fluffing and some new sand. Other than those little things, it's always a nice place to play and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Played On 05/24/2014Always a pleasure.
Got a great deal on golfnow.com for a weekend round. Staff was forthcoming about the temporary green on #8 ( a problem area for a few years). New owners seem to be trying to get it right. A fun track all around with a good mix of holes and quick greens that will speed up as the weather settles down and they can get nice and firm. 16 is the hole that this course is built around. Spectacular Par 3 on a bluff overlooking the sound. Swirling winds make club selection a key decision with NO room to bail right. I always make a point to play here when out east because of the course and the people. Pace is good without feeling rushed as well.
