Bonus Late February Round
Hadn't been to Fox Bend in over two decades. Anywhere outside of Oswego/Aurora this is one the most difficult golf courses to get to - far from expressways and you have to fight suburban traffic all the time. Fox Bend is average track at best. A couple of interesting holes but otherwise basically your mid 60's parkland design that doesn't have you wanting to come back to it time and time again. Each year I look at the rates and the tee sheet - always too crowded or overly expensive for what you get....just a decently maintained golf course. Does have a warm up range. Restaurant bar under renovation/very dated clubhouse. Push open the men's room door slowly - otherwise you'll wack somebody washing their hands at the sink. Course was surprisingly not too soggy and the greens weren't all that bumpy and actually fairly playable. We finished in slightly over 4.5 hours but we had a turtle foursome of young guys holding up the entire back nine. So if you're into really crowded summer 5 hour plus rounds....fighting suburban weekend shopping traffic to get there and want pay $35 plus and usually more to play a completely average track please have at it. I'd also suggest avoiding this place if there are strong south to southwest breezes....most of the track plays dead into these winds. For variety Fox Bend is worth a play maybe once a year (guy in the proshop was really nice and welcoming) but I probably won't return to it this season. Just too many other tracks to play which are easier to get to, less crowded, a better value and more inspiring. Back in the late 70's it was a fun track but there were far fewer venues to consider.
Disappointed
The course itself was in good shape and it was challenging however the three some in front of us were very slow. They were playing best ball but were so slow that at one time we just sat in the shade on the fairway while waiting for them to finish the hole. We wished the course ranger would have driven through and informed them they were slowing down play.
Nice Experience
Course was in much better condition since the last time I played last year. Greens were in great shape and putted with good speed.
Water
There were no cold water jugs to fill your water bottles and it was hot sure they had a drink cart going around but it was pricey.
It's good if your good.
Every area of rough was a jungle, every green was a clowns mouth. I don't know who they think their clientele is, but I really didn't like playing here. The greens were very fast and all the pin placements were on the edge of a knife. If you overshot the hole even slightly, there was a good likelihood the ball would roll off the green. Great condition though.
Need water jugs on course
Course is in great condition just don’t have any water stations except on the first hole bathroom. Would recommend
Nice course for the money
Course was a good bargain. Tees were cut short which is great but many of the had unlevel spots, not good. Greens rolled fast and true. Fairways were good. Pace was just average (a little over 4 hrs).
Rain out
Rain out. Got 2 holes in. And they refunded 16 holes I receipt that I’ll probably lose
Fox bend
I have been golfing at golf bend since 1985. Wonderful course for the value and difficulty. Reasonably priced.
Temp greens
Figured after a year, the temporary greens would be gone. Not so. The repaired greens looked in good shape too. For $50 for the round it wasn't worth it. In some areas the fairways were cut really short and were dry and brown. Driving range restricted to hitting on mats, which I hate.
