Fox Hollow Golf Club

Slow play out of the gate. No cart girl for 8 holes, and when she did show up she didn’t have anything but shots and…chips, slim pickings, also we started late because we didn’t get our cart until we teed off. Apparently they are short on carts, well that happens when you put tee times so close together!

This was the first time I've played in Florida let alone a Trent Jones course of which I've always wanted to play. The course was very nice. Pace of play was very slow. They try and stuff as many people on the course as they can which results in backups. I was not able to finish the last hole as it was just too dark. I really wanted a hat from there shop (since I'm from out of town)but by then they were already closed. Prices are okay if you find there non peak hours or deals. I would still recommend to anyone and would go again. Just wish they would not stuff people onto the course.

Great shape in every way with the notable exception, on this occassion where 4 (or so) of the greens have some problem spots. Not a huge deal, and I'm sure they're on it- it happens. Still a great track!

Probably the most enjoyable course we played in the four days we golfed in Tampa. The greens were aerated evidently, and in pretty rough shape (scars, burning, patches)… if not that- 5 stars all the way!

We enjoyed our round. 4 1/2 hours was ok. Greens were a little thin. Overall it was a good experience.A l little pricey.

Pro shop staff good was greeted and registered I do wish someone would have advised me they were waiting on carts to come in for golfers to go out. As at all clubs pro shop advised me to show my receipt to starter. Guess they didn’t realize starter was an imbecile. He just ignored me, I went to hit balls good range good balls, nice chipping area. I approached starter of course he didn’t know anything about me cause he brushed me off earlier. I think I was to join another group as I was a single. No this bozo sends me out by myself on a full course. A twosome comes up behind me so I ask if they would like to join me they say no🧐 What a place???? I play 2 balls have to call it a day after 15 holes 5 + hours. Good course condition fair, ok at $60 give starter his walking papers.

Our round of golf took 5 hours 30 minutes and that included skipping the last hole.

A number of groups behind us also walked off the course including a group that were Fox Hollow members.

We were all behind a “bachelor party” of 12 golfers from Philadelphia who more interested in drinking than playing golf and seemed to enjoy “slow walking” the golfers waiting to play behind them.

We notified the pro shop at the turn and asked that a course marshal address the situation, but nothing was done to rectified the situation.

As Florida residents we play Fox Hollow on a regular basis, but this was by far the worst experience our group has had in many years of golf.
I am sure Fox Hollow enjoyed the group’s green fees, club rental fees and alcohol sales.

PS - On numerous occasions they ignored the cart path only signs and were forced to leave the fairway in reverse. Where were your marshals!

Beautiful flat layout with water on many holes. Only complaint was greens were recently punched and had many issues with recent fungus issues. Did not affect the game much but would have been nice to know ahead of time.

Current price is high for value, but it's spring in Florida and I understand.

Fairways were in excellent condition but a few of the greens had some issues. All in all it is a very testing layout especially for the first time playing it. I probably would have enjoyed the day a little more by selecting a set of tees further up but it still was a good challenge.

Fox Hollow never disappoints,
This is my 2nd time playing this semi-private Robert Trent Jones Sr. Course. Fairways, greens and surrounds are in good shape; the rough at times can be a little patchy but I’m sure it’s coming around. If your looking for a challenge “The Fox” is the place to play we had lots of fun even when not playing our best golf.

Staff and members are always nice and inviting, which isn’t normal at some semiprivate clubs. As a public guest this is exactly what we are looking for.
