Too much!

We tried as usual to play our round from the white tees. Unfortunately, excessive rainfall dictated that our shots got virtually no roll. As such we moved up to gold at hole 10.

Thank you for playing Fox Run Golf Links, Ron! We're sorry to hear you weren't getting any roll in the fairways but we're glad to hear you moved up a tee box on the back 9 to make it a more enjoyable round. Come back soon!

pin position is everything!

I have shot sub 80 rounds when the pin positions were not diabolical. Yesterday was quite a bit different!. Add to this strong winds and suffice it to say we had problems. Que sera, sera.

Hills in Illinois?

The course is different! Every hole seems to be up or down a hill. I enjoyed my round.

Itmay not be Scotland, but it is pretty!

As befits our age, we played from a forward tee and had a great time. Be prepared for some LONG putts! The greens are huge with a lot of variation. What I don't understand is how the slope from the blue tees (6900 yards) is only 124??

As many times as I've played the course, they should name it for me!

Perhaps resort courses are in better condition, but at my age most are simply too hard. Indian Boundary gives me an opportunity to play an interesting course, while also providing a reasonable chance to score well.

Rack and ruin?

I am told that this course was once quite a gem. Unfortunately, conditions have changed. Patchy greens, poor drainage has created virtual lakes in some places.

Not enough carts?

I enjoy playing this course, but on Friday 1/30/2015, an outing led to a 50 minute delay in teeing off as we had to wait for carts to come in and course policy does not allow walking. We finished but within 10 minutes it was dark.

Ron sorry about the delay with a cart. My partners and I bought the golf course in June 2014. We have been fixing it up 7 days a week, 12 hours a day. We never imagined the response of people who come to play the course. We have ordered 10 new carts in Deccember figuring that 65 would be enough for the demand. However we realized that we would need to take further action due to the demand. We blocked out tee times on busy days so we do not encounter this issue again. In your comment you stated that we do not allow walking while playing the course however we do allow walking and it would be $5.00 off the price of the round which is the best price in Palm Beach County. Thank-you very much for trying our golf course. Please come back as I promise your next round played at our course will be a great golf experience.

115 slope is eidiculous!

Eaglewood is well kept, interesting, thought provoking, and challenging. This is a much more difficult 6,000 yard course than usual!

Enjoyable experience, of course my enjoyment is usually predicated upon that day's performance. Greens seem to be true and shot problems aren't overly punitive, assuming you can stay out of the water!

Too much sand!

Beautiful but deadly for we "18 handicappers!" I had one of those days when I wandered into too many bunkers and after a long winter, that part of the game clearly needs work.
