Horrible play

I first round of the season here. The biggest issue was that you had a Tournament for amateur kids and still did teetimes. It took me and my group 4 to play 9 holes. You should have had something posted that you you had a tournament. The issue is this makes me not want to come back and play again. This makes me feel that for a championship course you care very little about your customers experience. The course should have closed for the day for our aide golfers. We walked the course and still waited at every tee box for 2 foursomes ahead of us. We left after 9 holes. Just very disappointed. At the end when we where leaving and spoke to a ranger about how long it took to play 9 holes his response was yeah that happens.

Was stuck behind two wedding parties that were plastered. During the round because they were drunk, they slowed the course up and during my approach on 8 screamed off the 7th tee because they were plastered. On the 9th hole, someone in the group squealed and slammed tires right in someone’s backswing. Couldn’t get a drink at the turn due to a wedding and the drink girl never made it back to our group until Hole 17. I love the course but I wish I would’ve known of these issues and wouldn’t have made the tee time.

Awesome course!

I love playing Fox Hill's Golden Fox. Nice track. If you keep your ball in front of you, there are ample opportunities to score. Didnt play as well but I always enjoy coming out!

US Open

You better put the ball in the fairway unless you have zero chance to score. With all the rain we have had it is understandable the rough was thick and tall. Greens were pure and fast. Definitely a course you need to play more than once because there are a lot of blind spots where you are not sure where to hit it. Course knowledge would be extremely helpful.

Underrated

Terrific layout and as well conditioned as I’ve seen the course in years .The Golden Fox is one of the most underrated courses in the Detroit area. The staff is also extremely friendly and they add to a great experience. Highly recommended

Great Conditions, Interesting Layout

Played with new friends in a new state. I am new to Michigan golf but I found the Golden Fox a great course for a fair rate. Checking in was easy and the pro-shop staff was friendly and helpful. They didn't provide much insight on the course and didn't have a yardage book that I would have expected at a course of this quality.
The putting great was large and well maintained. They allow chipping which is always a plus. The range was large and long with plenty of targets at all distances. The balls were of good quality.
Getting out on the course was a bit of mess as they had a tournament so they sent us off the back. As we got ready to tee off the starter rushed us off insisting that we were lagging behind even though we were teeing off 15 min late.
Once on the course the GPS was good and after getting used to it very helpful.

The tees were lush, flat and well maintained. Even the par 3s had good coverage and only mild divot damage. The fairways were lush and well maintained. They were tightly mowed but not thin. With some moisture there wasn't a lot of run on the ball and some dirt or mud. The carts didn't have good fill bottles and so there were quite a few unfilled divots. The rough wasn't very high which actually made the course tougher for long hitters as the ball would run into the natural areas and high grasses.
The greens were excellent. They were soft and receptive but quick with lots of undulations. I particularly liked some of the chipping areas and well maintained fringes.

Nice Course Fairly Wide Open

First time playing Golden Fox. Enjoyed the course. Some room off the tee on most holes. 4th hole is severe dog leg right. Definitely want to aim at black and white marker in fairway which is only about 165 yards from white tees. Easy to get blocked out right and plays long if you bail left.

Great course and great shape.

Played as a single and only had to wait on a few holes. People please fix your ball marks. I was fixing many ball marks On the green as I had time since playing as a single. The twosome behind me finally caught up with me and I asked if they wished to join me, they declined. The group in front of me was taking the game way to serious. On one hole they teed off and I see one coming back to the tee box!! He said his ball went OB and had to re-tee !!! Are you kidding me!!! Just take a drop and keep the round moving!!!
