They go through this every year with the greens, it seems. Instead of making a commitment to re-doing the greens, as so many other courses in the area have done, they still muddle through making a minimum effort and taking peoples money.
As others have said before me, this is one of the best layouts around but all they need to do is the greens and put sand in the bunkers and it would be, again, be a very nice course to play.
The greens as they are now are completely gone and won't be back in any kind of shape for at least 6 weeks or more. They're apparently praying for cooler weather. That's their solution.

Played 5/7 and it was shocking the change of condition this Grey Fox has gone through. Tee boxes and fairways near perfect. Greens are in very good condition with the exception of a few spots along the fringes on only a couple of the greens. Bunkers were well cared for but still have a few stones but not anything like I played last time.
Will be interesting to see how the greens hold up in the heat as I think these are still bent grass. The Red Fox has Bermuda. Hopefully they keep up the maintenance and and maybe go Bermuda on the Grey at some point. Highly recommend this course now.

I've played here 4-5 times since the first of this year and the condition has been very, very good each time. The greens are in excellent condition and very tricky; if you put your ball in the wrong spot you'll pay.
All bunkers are raked and have an adequate amount of sand. Tee boxes and fairways only stressed a little due to heat but I give them a pass for this time of year.
Staff, especially Bridgette, are always very friendly and helpful.
I can't make an opinion on the driving range as I haven't used it yet but it looks like it's ok for loosening up; nice practice green.
Overall one of my favorites in the area.

First time playing here and we really enjoyed it. Very nice layout and a superb practice facility, too.
Great condition with the exception of some of the bunkers not being raked. I would've given 5 stars if they were raked. Other than that no complaints. Staff super friendly and we really appreciated the guy coming around often with drinking water and lemonade.
Will make this a must stop when visiting this area in the future.

Have played here before and have always enjoyed it and have made it a must stop when I'm visiting. 27 holes with a very nice range and practice area.
This trip we played Magnolia and Camelia. Both very nice layouts with Camelia having quite a bit of water in play.
They recently punched the greens so they were on the bumpy side so I took a star away.
One thing, and it's a big one in the summer, is they have no drinking water on the course. They do have a fountain at the restrooms but that's it. They should have coolers out so you can get water when you need it. I DO NOT LIKE this policy.
Other than that it's one of my favorites in the area.

First time playing here in maybe 15 years or so. Caught great weather for January, although windy, and had a great time with great rate for quality of this course. Conditions for mid-winter were very good, greens in near perfect condition and all bunkers were raked. Fairways and tee boxes all good. As another reviewer noted, and I remembered from long ago, there are four of the most beautiful par 3's you'll find anywhere. Very few houses on this property also so it's really a beautiful trip around. 15 minute drive or so from Pinehurst traffic circle so it's really not far. Will definitely return. One of the top courses in the area without a doubt and must have if you're putting a package together.

I've played here probably 4 times since August of last year and it's still, as it was then, in sensational condition. Tee boxes, fairways, bunkers and greens are near perfect. I take advantage of the Golfnow rates as often as I can being local resident now and am getting truly spoiled. If you're planning a package or coming just for the day this is one of the best around here.

First time playing the Red Fox at Foxfire. Played the Grey Fox back in the fall and that was in pretty bad shape and is now closed but not sure what the reason is.
Anyway played on a Hot Deal and it was a great value and a nice layout. Conditions were very good given the time of year. Tee boxes and fairways in real good shape. Bunkers, or most of them, were raked and in good shape. Greens had a few, and only a few, rough spots so for what I paid it was a great deal.
The layout is very interesting; lots of elevation changes, plenty of water and bunkers.
Will definitely return; only a short ride west of Pinehurst, NC.

I played this course a couple of times recently and the greens were really in pretty bad shape and the bunkers weren't raked but now the greens are coming back and today all of the bunkers were in excellent condition. Tee boxes and fairways are always in very good condition. I think they still have bent grass so the greens really took a hit this summer with the heat and then all of the rain we've had here. But now only a few of the greens are in really bad shape; most of the rest are in very good condition. As I said in an earlier review this has always been a favorite layout of mine and I'll return again for sure because the conditions are certainly on the upswing. I do wish they'd go to bermuda at some point.

Played on a Golfnow hotdeal so got a great price. Nice design but needs some serious work. Greens almost totally lost and bunkers a mix of dirt, sand and rocks.
Fairways good and tee boxes not bad. Looks like bent grass greens still and they've really taken a beating with the heat and rain. Don't understand why, after all this time, they haven't switched to Bermuda. I would have a hard time coming back if I had to pay full price. Unfortunate because I do like the course itself, just tough conditions right now.

This was my first time playing here since around '99-'00 .The times I played back then were on golf packages and in the Fall/Spring so the course was maintained better. I've always loved the layout and the condition but when you play some of these courses in the off season sometimes you run into maintenance issues. Really, as far as playing, the only issue I had was none of the bunkers were raked. Other than that, given the heat that we've had in NC this summer, it's in very good shape. One thing that I noticed, and this is the case on a lot of courses now. is the condition of the cart paths. There were many times I had to come to a complete stop to be able to ride on the paths. A lot of large roots in the blacktop paths. I think this is the new normal that we have to get used to due to the cost of maintaining these courses in this era of public golf. That aside I will return here as it is a great value and a very interesting Dan Maples layout, as most of his designs are.

I played last Thursday and it was in great shape for the time of year. Greens were in really great condition, tee boxes and fairways very good. All bunkers raked except one that was undergoing maintenance.
Very convenient design with excellent range, practice bunker\chipping green and putting green all right out the back door.
One of most interesting layouts in the area and always in great shape. I always considered this one of the best in the Raleigh\Durham area.

Played week before Memorial Day. Excellent conditions, super greens, fairways, tee boxes.
Greens have some movement on them but nothing crazy I thought.
Friendly staff. Will return again and will recommend to others.

Nice course with excellent practice range; nice clubhouse with friendly staff. Good layout, also, with range right out back of clubhouse. Range has large driving area, chipping\putting green and practice bunker. Bucket of balls for $4 is a good deal, also.
The course allows plenty of driving room and approach shots are challenging without being too penal if you miss your target.
Course in very good condition and very well maintained.
Will always consider this when traveling here in the future.

I've played here many times and it's always been a favorite. We moved out of the area so I haven't had a chance to play it in a while. (I got a great deal on Golfnow for $26 with cart and range balls. )
The course is in great shape but the pace of play, on the back nine, was slow. That is today's golf, unfortunately. Other than that it was a nice round.
If you haven't played here before I would not put too much in to the yardage on the card. The card tells you it's short (5700 yds from the white tees) It's very deceiving because the design offers plenty of challenges. Instead of having the 'bombers' mentality you need to keep in mind that there is a place to land the ball off the tee and that some of the greens are small and not very deep. There is also deep bunkering and severe elevation changes, especially on the back nine.
Really a lot of fun to play but hit it straight and hit it solid.
