Fox Run Golf Links opened in 1984 but over the past two years the course underwent a major renovation that made the layout both more challenging for serious players but also more forgiving for the recreational golfer. The multi-million-dollar renovation included enhancements to the hole layouts, redesigning the bunkers, installing a new irrigation system, and creating new practice and chipping areas. Water comes into play often throughout the golf course and you'll find elevation changes on nearly every green. The water holes will be especially tough if you have a tendency to slice the ball. Thanks to the varied layout, which includes some holes that are wide open and others that are more target-style golf, you will get the opportunity to work on different types of shots. Fox Run Golf Links is a challenging but fair test that players of all skill levels can enjoy.

Went out on a crappy weather day. Course was in really good shape. Staff was great about getting us a 9 hole rain check. The clubhouse is fantastic.

Good value course

Course was in good shape for early in the season. We only had to wait on a couple of holes but no major back ups. Greens were a bit slow but in decent shape. bunkers not great. All in all it is well priced for the experience. I would play again but it is not destination golf.

Fox Run

I did not like this course. The greens past the first 9 were not the cleanest. Lots of divots too and not the cleanest tee offs. We kept getting staff complaining about us playing 5 players. We were 15 mins ahead of phase on a rainy day with no impact to other players time. Don’t threaten to kick players off the course when there is no impact to anyone else’s game or safety. Especially when we are ahead of pace and the course is not kept up that well. I won’t golf here anymore especially when there are so many courses in the Chicago area.
