Just another dirt track

Long gone are the days when this was a decent course on par with other local options (i.e. Tunxis). It's now fallen into such disrepair that 2 bridges were completely washed out while 2 others were in very questionable condition. Oh and not to mention a temporary green on white 4 due to a huge pond in the middle of the hole. This was not notified to us when we paid in the clubhouse either. Might want to tell people that you think? In general, it's not worth the 59$ green fee for 18, as there are better options nearby.

New Owners bad look

This seriously was one of my favorite courses to play the last two years, never in great shape but for the money I could play for low 20’s walking or mid 30’s low 40’s with a cart. The layout is awesome for scoring always a course that’d I’d be able to go too and feel good about my game. Yesterday was unbelievable, I saw the rise in prices and was confused, but thought wow they must’ve done tons of work to the course in the off-season. So we decided to walk for 30, well here’s the kicker I called and booked my tee time so when we went in to pay he charged us 40 per person even though everywhere says 30 real odd. The kicker we played Reds to whites and it’s the same old blue fox absolutely 0 work done to the course still a temporary green on 13 Whites and still beat up, was a great golf course to play cheap but you can’t be serious charging more than Tunxis get a grip.

March Golf in CT

Enjoyed playing golf in March. Course was in good condition for this time of year. I would have given the course a higher condition rating but they had a temporary green and traps were very wet. But that needs to be expected at a time when play is not usual in CT.

Very friendly staff.

Pace of play was excellent. We did have an early tee time.

Very poor course condition

The course is not taken care of. Poor tee boxes and greens. Fairways are very poor. Sad since it is in a beautiful area with great views. I would not come back here. Clearly needs new management

First & Last Time Playing Run Down Blue Fox Run

I was extremely disappointed by the maintenance of this golf course. Poison ivy everywhere, couldn’t even retrieve about 6 of my balls because of the amount of overgrown poison ivy. There were weeds growing out everywhere stopping the ball from rolling completely. Staff is friendly, a big dusty I would say but they mean well.

The course needs serious tender love and care. Sand traps had over grown grass, I would post pictures but the files are too large apparently.

We decided not to finish as the course was trash, seemed liked besides cutting the grass a week ago or so nothing else was done to maintain the course.

On the 15th hole there was a large blue water or sewer removal going on crossing the entire length of the course stopping rolling balls from play!

I would like my money back to be quite honest. The course did NOT in any way reflect the course at all what so ever. Will tell friends to stay away from here! 100%

Just ok

The most taken care of parts of the course are near the road…
75% of the Bunkers were terrible 2/10, few of the greens were recked but the others rolled good 7/10 , lotta weeds but the rough was decent , fairways 6.5/10.. pretty wide open , few tight shots , some of the course has high rough instead of trees (just part of the challenge), some cool views , couple of almost island greens , water in play a few holes , no ball washers, good carts, 2 chipping/ putting greens, overall feels like a course that used to be real nice but is slowly falling apart , always take a preferable lie and it’s not so bad , should be 18 and cart $40-50

Blue fox Avon. Fun

Course is a value course. It is not a top level condition or layout but for the average golfer looking to have fun with friends it was great. Excellent price, good greens, fun layout where you can hit many clubs and choose risk and reward. Nice nature layout ie not surrounded by houses or condos and plenty of privacy on each home so not bumping into others. Good value.

Scrimmaging in Early December on the White/Red

In December, the option of ‘scrimmaging’ in golf--as opposed to playing the normal game--presents itself. That’s what I did today, focusing mainly on getting GIR’s rather than keeping close tabs on score. From the first hole, such a prospect, anyway, was hindered by bumpy, aerated greens.

Blue Fox White/Red was in average shape for December, and would be only fair compared to what I experienced on October 31st. Conditions deteriorate that fast in Connecticut when late fall arrives (look at the comparative pics). The high-quality layout is always worth playing, though, as it has a nice mix of tough, moderate, and more routine golf holes.

Perhaps surprising for December, a fair number of cars were in BFR’s parking lot.
