Worst course I’ve ever played

Had to go find staff to pay and get a cart. Greens were bald and had such large sections roped off they were all but unplayable. Course has been totally neglected.

Love the Layout… Hate the Condition

I played this course often when it first opened, and loved the layout. It was in very good condition for the several years. I played yesterday and was so very disappointed in all aspects of the course! The two ladies working in the shop were very friendly and helpful. Again, I love the layout, and truly hope they invest and get this course into the shape it once was.

Do not play! It has to closing soon? Every green has significant bare spots on them and the fairways are filled with weeds. Use to be one of the best around too.

Horrible conditions right now

The greens are destroyed, mostly sand with hardly any grass. Most of the greens and course is should be marked as ground under repair. The greens look like a cartographic map. No maintenance is being done on the tees and fairway is cut high. For example hit a ball into the fairway where there is a low water spot and I couldn’t find my ball due to thick 3 inch grass. I did step on another lost ball while searching in the fairway. I believe this is all due to very hot weather and no sprinkler system.

Nice Course

Would have been nice to know they were aerating the greens. Got behind two slow groups on front nine, back nine was a lot quicker.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Not worth half what they're charging.

First off I am not a complainer or the type to leave reviews good or bad. However this was the worst experience I have ever had. Two days prior they began aerating so I understand the greens may not be in great shape. They were sanding the greens and dragging them which is totally fine. What isn't fine is waiting on the person dragging the greens all round. The last 4 holes didn't have a flag or cup, just a hole cut with a flag laying on the ground. No bar tender present to get a drink or bite to eat at the turn either. If it wasn't a fairway it was in complete disrepair. Patchy greens is an understatement. Seemingly no management anywhere near to even attempt to rectify I wouldn't come back if they paid me.

Greens not playable

I've golfed this course a few times in the past but this was the first time I've been there when the greens were awful and the fairways had an incredible amount of crab grass.
I probably won't be back for another 10 years.
Maybe if the owner see's the reviews they'll make some changes.

Terrible

This course use to be nice. My experience yesterday was awful the greens were terrible. Bald patches on every green the fairway was ok but the rough hadn’t been cut in a while at least 6 inches tall in most spots off the fairway you couldn’t even hit your ball out of it. If you could find your ball. They need to do some work out there.

Very Rough

The greens were lost too fungusv along with several tee boxes and the rough had not been cut in several days. Very easy to lose a ball that was just off the fairway. The fairways were in decent shape. The course is a great layout but upkeep has been lacking the past several seasons.

Struggling Conditions

Played 9 on the front with no problem on a late Friday afternoon. There is so much potential for this to be a good course. Outer edges of greens are sand pits and burnt. Fairways have a good cut and are fine to hit from but sand traps are in need of help too.

Great course if maintained

Layout of the course was fun and good challenge for good golfers while fair enough to average golfers. Course was in bad shape though and needs better maintenance

Just save the money

Came up to Edwardsville to play with a friend. The course was just bad. Fairways unkept, greens had brown spots all over. Randomly super tight tee shots. I definitely will not be going back. Staff was not super friendly because they wanted to close up early, and 40$ for 18 holes is a scam here. Try another course around.

Awful condition

I have played Fox Creek several times over the years, and this might have been the last time. I can’t think of a single nice thing to say about the condition of the course. The fairways, tee boxes, bunkers, and greens looked like they had been (maybe) mowed this week, but other than that no maintenance was noticeable. At this price point, it was an absolute waste of money.

Golf now charged me twice for one round

Trying to book a round at fox creek..golfnow app says tee time no longer available. I choose another tee time and check out. Then I check my bank account and realize I made two reservations. Cancel one and golf now says I'm not eligible for a refund. It was more than 24 hours from the tee time. We played the round, it was hot. I won't be using golfnow until they refund the money for the cancelled round.
