Foxfire Golf Club boasts 36 holes of championship golf, the Foxfire Course and the Players Club Course. The Players Club was added in 1993.The layout is a deft combination of traditional American golf and traditional British links design that provides the perfect complement to the original. The golf course is the more challenging of the two, but not by much. The layout features narrow fairways lined with trees and water hazards on eight holes. There are three particularly tricky carries over water. Strategically placed bunkers and contoured mounding also treacherously lurk by the greensides. The par-4 16th hole is the course's signature. This demanding hole plays uphill through trees to a green that is guarded by five bunkers. The most memorable hole though, might be the par-5 eighth, which features the longest sand bunker in the Midwest.

Improving, but…

We teed off at 7:30am. What we planned to be a day on the course with sounds of nature on a gorgeous morning ended up being sounds from the grounds crew mowing, which seemed to follow us about every three holes. We don’t mind sprinklers being on, but the sprinklers didn’t shut off on two different holes. Greens were hard and dry, hence the watering. The greens actually rolled fair, but below average condition. Green side bunkers were playable, which is an improvement from past visit.. Fairways were in decent shape. Halfway house was closed and apparently is only open on certain days of the week. Course is definitely playable, but currently overpriced compared to other courses that are in much better shape. We paid $44 on a this (Friday) morning.

Still needs work

Been playing here for years and am still disappointed. Early season yes, but greens are in bad shape with ball marks, no rangers on course to maintain pace, no amenities to speak of, no sand in the bunkers - anywhere. Grass over growing bunkers, carts stored uncovered and dirty and moldy - at least make an effort.... Even the “new” carts are a mess already. I recall the first few years the Players Club was open, it was spectacular and worthy of play, now it just feels like another muni waiting to be bought for condos.

Great Course Condition for December Golf

The best course layout across all public options in the greater Columbus area. Each hole is unique bringing its own fun challenges requiring you to develop a strategy before your tee shot. Course was in great condition for an abnormally warm day in mid-December. Easily one of the best public courses in Columbus area.

Overbook. Terribly slow

They overbook the course and this is not the first time I have heard this happening. Walked up to the 1st tee box for our tee time and there were 6 groups ahead of us waiting. Ranger/starter was rude and did not go check on the course to see if anything was slowing things down. Play was ridiculously slow.

Poor conditions

This used to be one of my favorite courses to play over the last 20 years but now course is very rundown. Greens/fairways/tee boxes in very poor shape. They should be ashamed of themselves for charging $42 to play. Not worth paying $15. Do not play here

Bad conditions

This course has always been one of the best in central Ohio but they are tearing up the old course for housing and I think the water has been shut off. I have never seen it in this condition. All of the fairways and greens with a couple exceptions were burnt up. I don’t think they have had water in a long time.iThey are still charging full price and I will not be back until I hear it has recovered

Sad shape of what once was a very good course

Hopefully as the housing project that took over the front course is completed, the Players course can get back to what once was a well maintained challenge as it was years ago. Until I see much improved reviews on a consistent basis, I will not be back as current condition makes one wonder if watering is illegal in that county...very sad.

Sad. Very Sad.

This used to be the NICEST course in all of central Ohio. Now just an absolute dump. This course is 38.95 too much. They should pay you to come down and play. If your buddies ask you to play. . ..RUN!!!! The back 9 is SOOOOO bad that I would of rather played the front twice. Now. . . .give them 3 years (after selling Foxfire)

I'll see you in a few years.

Golf course was in horrible shape for paying $47. They have not been able to water the course due to water line damage. Fairways literally cracking. Tee boxes , fairways and greens were as hard as concrete.. The fact that we were charged $47 with no advance warning of conditions was really disappointing.
