The Players Club at Foxfire Golf Club
About
Foxfire Golf Club boasts 36 holes of championship golf, the Foxfire Course and the Players Club Course. The Players Club was added in 1993.The layout is a deft combination of traditional American golf and traditional British links design that provides the perfect complement to the original. The golf course is the more challenging of the two, but not by much. The layout features narrow fairways lined with trees and water hazards on eight holes. There are three particularly tricky carries over water. Strategically placed bunkers and contoured mounding also treacherously lurk by the greensides. The par-4 16th hole is the course's signature. This demanding hole plays uphill through trees to a green that is guarded by five bunkers. The most memorable hole though, might be the par-5 eighth, which features the longest sand bunker in the Midwest.

Communication is the key to life.
Not enough carts. This course should have relayed that message to Golf Now, that way there's no miss communication. As long as I don't get charged for anything I'm ok. Really was excited about playing this 4th of July. Does anyone ever read these Reviews?
lot of work left to be done.....
greens firm and fast but bunkers not worked on all year. I have not played there in 7+ yrs - trees etc have overgrown and need desperate trimming back-- major league. Not sure where they are spending the money. Not enjoyable the way it is currently.......
A definite stop
No reason not to play this course a standard value money for course condition but pace of play was ruined by a 2 hour frost delay we played at 1:30 in the afternoon and 18 took 4 5 hours which is a bit slow but every one one friendly people in front people behind and staff.
The Players Club is back!
This course has made a complete 360 from just a few months ago. The new superintendent has the greens fast & perfect & the same with the fairways. Can't wait to play it again.
Revisiting The Players Club after 15 years
This was our first visit to The Players Club since the Foxfire Golf Course was closed and replaced by houses. We used to play both courses, The Players and Foxfire, whereas the The Players was the 'better course', but the Foxfire course was still good enough of a challenge and fun to play. This round at The Players was very challenging due to the wind over the 'open' holes, and by the tree lined narrow fairways of the other holes. Sure the conditions kicked our butts but the course was in perfect condition, It's a great course to play and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly.
Restore its beauty
Hopefully over time it should be restored to what it once was.
Foxfire
Greens were excellent medium fast. Tee’s were mixed some good some overused Course plays fairly tight with many trees. Many doglegs requiring placement of shots.
Much improved from this past spring.
I played this course in early May and it was horribly unkempt. Wasn’t going to play it again, but a buddy of mine wanted to play it. Glad I did. It’s come a long way. Course was cut much better and lots of new sand in most of the bunkers (not many public courses in Columbus can say that this year).
Greens are a little slower than most courses. Very undulating. Great track! Very difficult from the Blue tees.
I’ll be back.
surprised
After having played this course in the past and not during its glory days, i last played here in 2020 and was disappointed by almost everything from the pace of play to the condition of the course. On the 17th of July, I played the course, and to my surprise, the course was coming back; the bunkers had sand the fairway, greens, and tee boxes were in good condition. The pace of play wasn't an issue due to the rain; I was only able to get in 9 holes before they closed the course due to rain. I still think the price is too high, but I saw enough good things to play here again and recommend others to give the course another chance; within the next two years, the course should be in terrific shape
Worst experience ever
Booked a tee time for Sunday Memorial Day Weekend. Showed up and they told me they moved my tee time back 15mins without notifying me. They then charged $15 for a bucket of range balls to pass the extended time. As we practiced putts waiting to tee off, we saw 12 carts pass by and head to the first tee ahead of us. They also passed the 2 groups with tee times ahead of us. When we questioned the starter what was going on, he said it’s the owner and his friends and there was nothing he could do. Not content to wait another hour to tee off and then endure a 6 hour round of golf, we got a refund and accepted losing 2 hours of day to this debacle. Needless to say, I’ll never be back and based on the conditions of the facilities, clubhouse and range, I wouldn’t recommend to anyone.
