Customer service needs big time work...
When I'm checking in 35 minutes prior to my assigned tee time, I was told I have to head immediately to the 1st hole and tee off to avoid a league. No warm up just grab it and rip it. Not the way to start a round.
After repairing about 8-10 divots on a green, I made my way back to my cart quickly to get out of the way of the foursome behind me. In a hurry I did walk thru a sand trap. One of the grounds crew drove up and said "just for your information, we use a golf rake here At our club". He did have a point but his tone and choice of words where meant to make me feel cheesy and stupid. While he was correct, after finishing repairing half the green form other golfers neglrlect came at a bad time.
Rounding 9 and going to to 10 I was welcomed by 2 foursomes that were waiting to tee off. So the back 9 was completely full. I was a single so I wasn't going to fit in any whalers. . I thought I'd go to the golf checkin at the clubhouse and see if I could perhaps replay the front 9. When I began to ask the personel at the desk he cut me off and made me move my cart that he felt was parked in the wrong place. He then left the shop and embarrased me again by insisting that he move my cart personally.
At that point the desire of playing golf had escaped me and I just grabbed my clubs and left after playing 9 of the 18 holes I paid for.
When golf is clearly on the downside in terms of attedence I think that this club needs a tune up with regard to staying in business. First off don't post tee times on golfnow in the middle of league play. Treat customers with some sort of dignity and good intent on their part. Be polite not arrogant. It's not pebble beach.
This course is always in great shape.
Staff is very friendly!!!
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.
Challenging course without the frustration. Fairways and greens well maintained. Very picturesque.
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.
Fun and challenging
Great round and challenging! We really enjoyed the day.
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..
