Fox Valley Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play Fox Valley Country Club if I'm not a member?

You're in luck- while Fox Valley is primarily a private club, they do offer limited guest play. We recommend calling the pro shop well in advance to inquire about their guest-of-a-member policy or if they have any reciprocal agreements with your home club, as public access days are quite rare.

What's the real challenge at Fox Valley- is it the length or something else?

Don't let the relatively open front nine lull you into a false sense of security; the back nine at Fox Valley really tightens up, demanding precision off the tee. The greens are notoriously quick and subtly sloped, so your short game and putting will get a serious workout, especially on holes 12 through 15.

When is the best time of year to experience Fox Valley Country Club at its prime?

We've found late spring, specifically May and early June, offers the absolute best conditions at Fox Valley. The course is lush, the fescue is vibrant, and the temperatures are usually perfect for a full round without the intense summer humidity or the chill of late fall.

Are there any 'must-play' holes at Fox Valley that really define the course?

Absolutely. The par-3 7th, with its elevated tee shot over a winding creek, is a true beauty and a real test of club selection against the wind. Then there's the finishing 18th, a long par-4 with a tricky approach to a green guarded by bunkers, which always makes for a dramatic end to your round.

Beyond the golf, what's the vibe like at Fox Valley Country Club- especially for dining or post-round drinks?

After your round, the clubhouse at Fox Valley has a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, especially on the patio overlooking the 9th green. Their grill room serves up a fantastic burger and a surprisingly good local craft beer selection, perfect for dissecting your round with friends.
