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.

Best Kept Secret

I often play at the many private clubs in the area as guests of others, but when looking for a public course in central NJ this course is a great choice, with better holes and conditions than some fo the privates I play. The pace of play is good, unlike most of the other public and county courses, and the staff treats you like a member for the day at a great value.

Excellent greens, fairways and bunkers despite playing on the first day after the snowmelt this winter. The holes are challenging and it has some of the best visual holes in NJ. #4, #7, #8, #13, #17 were especially great and #18 over water was a great way to wrap it up. All-in-all a great experience in under 4 hours. I look forward to the spring and coming back.

Fox Hollow Golf Club

The only course I've ever been to that I'd come back just to chat with the starter "Dave." Beautiful course with rolling hills and a few very challenging holes. Players need to be accurate as many fairways roll left to right and off steep embankments to never find your ball again. Greens are very fast! Nice finish on 18 over water to land on the green which butts up to the clubhouse. About 160 yards from the white tees. As Schwarzenegger says, "I'll Be Back."

Had a bunch of course was great!

Green rolled pretty well. Course was in great condition considering it is the middle of winter. Bunkers were a little bare but otherwise rough and fairways were in great condition!

Course was closed but

We arrived not knowing the course was closed. Spoke with Evan the manager and because the conditions had improved he allowed us out. I can only say this is a must play course!! Conditions were amazing and having a course to ourselves was a once and a lifetime event. We did walk and I want to be clear this is not a walking course. Please make Fox Hollow a stop on your 2024 golf adventure!!!

Excellent design and very well maintained. Greens were beautiful and the rest of the course
Is wonderful. Views add to the experience. Staff was welcoming and they have a very nice clubhouse, but I think they are missing an opportunity w/food & beverage. It’s only open part time and a better F&B service would complete the outing. Really loved the course.
