Fix your pitch marks people

Great layout but suffers like so many other courses in our area from inconsiderate patrons. Fix your ball marks people as a reward to a good shot. It's really not that difficult and keeps the greens playable.

2nd visit to this course. Did not disappoint even with late season conditions. Greens were a little fury but still rolled well. One of my favorite courses to splurge on and at $75 a bargain. Each hole is unique and really no throw away holes. Great track!

REPAIR YOUR PITCH MARKS

This is much more a review of patrons than the course. People, please, please, please fix your ball marks. Seriously an epidemic of pure laziness. Foxford is a great course and let's keep it that way. I will admit the grounds crew keep the course a little wet and the greens are susceptible to getting beat up, but do your part to mitigate it by fixing your ball marks. Consider it a reward for a good shot.

First and not last

Played here for first time and really enjoyed the layout. Interesting holes, nice conditions and well kept. Classic old school design that places a premium on well executed tee shots and approaches. It is not as overly tight as I read online and I used driver from back tees the entire round. Been wanting to play here for some time and definitely will play again before season end. Great layout with plenty of elevation change and tree framed fairways and greens. It is tight with respect to a lot of holes are in danger range for others errant shots and folks need to just leave golf balls where they lie if not yours. I am not a huge fan of Par 3 finishing holes regardless if signature hole or not but this one is a fun hole. Just wish it wasn't the 18th.

Tough Test

Not your father's Thunderbird. This property has always seemed tailor made for a great course. The group that transformed this once poor track really hit it out of the park. Before moving back to area, never played here, but wow what a nice course. Fast but receptive greens, very well maintained tee to green, rough to rough. Nice bunkers, plenty of fluffy sand. This track is very challenging with a good mix of demanding long par 4's, risk/reward shorter ones, tough par 3's and fair par 5's. Pin placements can be a bit unfair at times as some will leave your ball off the green or back to your feet. A little proud of itself with higher than average rates, but they do put effort in keeping this course in tip top shape. Excellent practice facility as well. Some staff are very friendly, others not so much. They know who they are and you will recognize them without too much interaction also.

First, certainly not last

Great layout. Tough but fair without a single throw away hole. Sight lines and good aiming targets for most shots. Course was in excellent shape. Signs of greens being punched a few weeks earlier but rolled good. Maybe since they had been punched, they werent as beat as some of the reviews, but I did not see too many unrepaired ball marks. Overall this is one of the nicest rounds of the year and cannot wait to get at least a couple more rounds in here before end of season. Great course!

Meh

Will not rush out to play again. Slow Saturday round (understandable) but did not finish. No sign of marshal, but again crowded weekend golf. That I can stomach if the couse is worth it, this course is not. Not my cup of tea. Very crammed in feeling. Too many short sub 400 yd par 4's, cheesy dog legs, flat terrain. Hole 16 is clearly the nicest, most interesting hole imo. At least we got to play it before night fall. Won't play again any time soon. Way too many other nicer, better value rounds to play.
