Slow Play

Left after 12 th hole and with 2 foursomes waiting and we were at 3 hours and 15 minutes ! Round would have been 5 hours min.
No ranger pushing anyone !

Great course but can’t take 5 hour rounds not worth it

Hello, markbeedle. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Foxford Hills Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Terrible !

I can only put the blame on management for the following:
They advertise driving range their isn’t, actually there is but it hasn’t been operational I heard for a long time
We get there 30 minutes early and Starter tells us he is 20 minutes behind !
2.5 hours to play the front Nine and ZERO rangers on the course to get players to keep pace.
Greens are super fast which is great, but they are beat up and the brainiac manager allows the Pin placements to be tucked on almost every hole when it’s Sunday Golf, why ?! It slows down the game !
Several holes have leaves fallen to hide balls instead of blowing them out of the way.
I’m a 10 handicap and enjoy challenging courses but after 12 holes and pushing 3.50 hours I called it a day !!
Cart girl showed up twice in my 12 holes.
Golf carts are loud and old with NO GPS.
Cart paths are in serious need of repair.
Their next door neighbor course Foxford is so much better ran and for same $$

Good but Not Great

I wanted to go back and play this awesome course when it was fast and firm. Luv this course but it is difficult and not sure why but got there early to use the driving range and they had hitting on mats only ! Weather was hot and dry and other than to save $$ not sure why the matts only which I will not hit off mats. The sand traps need fresh sand they are not in good condition. Other than that the people are great that run the place and the course is fantastic and tough ! Will be back to play one of my new favs.

NEED GPS

Great course caught it in wet conditions with light rain.
The problem they have is the course is not marked well with yardage and yet they have no GPS in the carts.
Still extremely beautiful course will be back to play it when it is dry ...

Disappointed

I play every week and play difficult golf courses.
I expected more from this course based on the reviews.

EVERY SINGLE SAND TRAP WAS LACKING A KEY THING, SAND !!! I realize they probably had heavy rain the past week but still wet cement on every single trap and no rakes and golf maintenance obviously had made no attempt to rake them. Cart paths only ! NO 90 degree rule and the course was fine no sitting water around to be seen ! NO GPS so spent time trying to find yardage ! Greens were slow!
Course is beautiful if they fix the traps and get GPS it is worth the drive but until then just isn't worth the drive.

Walk.. You won’t have to walk sideways to your cart and you can pace off your distance. I haven’t played in a group without a rangefinder in five years.

Valid feedback on the sand. It seems to take them a couple of days after any rain to get the traps playable.

Great Course BUT

Thursday afternoon golf with my 19 year old son and cart fee was $40. !! Really nice course but overpriced compared to other really good courses that include cart.

Silly mask rules to enter pro shop ! I mean you can’t just social distance ?! Please !! Now when Governor Pigsly says no more masks I guess will all be safe!

Terrible Bar Experience

Course is excellent !! Play there with friends every few weeks.
Bar was awful today !
Music was playing that teenagers like my kids enjoy but NOT what middle age people listen to.

Waited exactly 35 minutes for sandwiches and at that point left !

No cart girl and outdoor snack place closed

Not worth the $$$

I had not played this course in 12 years and it unfortunately is no longer the same high quality course. The sand traps are a joke !! The layout is tight and fair with some easy holes and some difficult holes. For the same price you can play a lot of much better courses is much better condition !
