Fox Hollow Golf Course in Somerville sprawls across acres of rolling woodlands, offering dramatic elevation changes throughout the par-70 layout. Designed by local designer Hal Purdy, the abundant trees and hilly terrain have been deftly incorporated into the course. Originally built in 1967, the golf course was completely redesigned in 2000 to make it more challenging while at the same time improving its playability. Since its renovation, it has garnered a local following but it is still one of the better kept secrets of Somerset County, making it likely that golfers will be able to play the golf course regardless of the day or time. In addition to the course, there is also a practice facility with a grass driving range, a bunkered practice green, and an expansive putting green. One reason Fox Hollow G.C. is a popular choice, besides the enjoyable layout, is the affordability it offers.

Always a fun course to play

Fox Hollow is always fun and a great value. The course has a lot of elevation changes, hitting over water on a few holes, and is generally very well maintained. The staff was very friendly and even bought one of us a beer when they heard there was a birthday. Greens are fast and challenging, but Fox Hollow is always fun!

Great course, we'll maintained

Played here for the second time. Definitely a tougher course than some of the other ones around like green knoll, East orange or royce brook. Definitely fun and very well kept! Would recommend for lower handicaps!

Good day on the course

I have played this course a few times over the past few years. The course used to be in Fair condition.
This time the course was in good condition. The greens rolled true. The fairways were in good shape.
We did have a pace of play issue towards the end of the round but a course marshall was on it and working to get it back on pace. Nice to see.
Just a small observation. It was a busy day and the starter had twosomes sandwiched in between foursomes. I would have combined them to even things out.
I will definitely play the course again

Not many people playing as it was on the 90s and the middle of the day. The course was in fantastic shape. Greens were fast would play here once a week if I could. WILL BE BACK for sure.

Fathers Day Outing

Good course I’ve played there before. The greens roll nicely and overall conditions are mostly good sometimes fair. Didn’t wait much and had a good time with my son. Range available.

Shame

What a complete waste of money, course was overbooked and there wasn’t a ranger in sight to help the pace of play the entire day. I paid $110 and was only able to play 13 holes in 5 hours. Never going back again.

Short holes

Too many par 3. And the par fours were also very short. Very sloped fairways that are very hard to keep in the fairways.
