This course is awesome

What a great way to spend a day - golfing! This course is worth the play. Loved the challenge of the hilly fairways! The course was busy but never had to wait on anyone.

I did the round on December 15th, and I had a reservation on the 16th.
However, it rained from the morning of the 16th, so the round was impossible all day.
However, the female employee there said she could not cancel just because she was there, and Golf Now said she could not get a refund after listening to the employee.
Fox Lake's female staff was very unkind and arrogant.

Back to the Fox CC

Tees, fairways, greens all in good shape. Not crowded. Most leaves were picked up. Staff was friendly. Club house sort of minimal. Brats were good. Fairway mowers kept right in front or behind us on too many holes..

Above average muni-course

1st time playing this course. Course was in good shape. Greens and tee boxes not beat up like some places. Simple layout with some challenges. My only gripe is not with the course, but with other people, and I guess the rules. It says no tee shirts or athletic apparel but I saw at least 7 or 8 people (late teens and early twenties) in 3 separate groups, wearing just that. Tee shirts and gym shorts. And they were allowed to play. Maybe it sounds like “get off my lawn” but I don’t care. Respect the game. Don’t be lazy.

Good Course. Will play again.

1st time playing. Lots of blind shots, which made it difficult, but fun. No driving range is probably my biggest knock on it. Putting green could be taken better care of. Other than that, made for a great day of golf.

An unknown gem

We were playing poker that night in Fox Lake and decided to play 18 before the game. Found a Hot Deal for Fox Lake CC which I had never played before. What a gem! The course was in great condition and it's a fantastic layout with no bordering homes. Very hilly with lots of mature trees and older style smallish greens that rolled perfectly.
We had a 1:24 tee time and only saw two other foursomes on the course and one single playing behind us. It was like having our own private country club. The staff was friendly, the cart girl was friendly and hot, and we had a delicious brat in the clubhouse before the round. The only drawback was that the clubhouse was closed by the time we finished. So just headed over to our buddy's house for beer, pizza, and poker where I won $20. Overall a great day..
