This is my home course and it is one of the hardest courses in the area. May be one of the hardest I've ever played. Golf pro and staff are excellent, friendly, and attentive. Their only failing is the lack of adequate practice facilities and the difficulty of several of the holes, 1, 9, 12, and 18 are virtually un-parrable for an average golfer.

We played this course two days on a weekend in mid-July. The course was in good shape. The fairways showed some signs of a lot of rounds having been played there. There were a lot of ball marks that hadn't been repaired. The greens were in good shape and well-maintained, as were the bunkers. They've been letting the heather grow lately, which makes the course more challenging. It's a fun track to play at a fair price!

To start, I'm going to leave my honest review on what I thought about Fox Fire/Par 4 Resort. See below my detailed review. The coarse was better than I thought it was going to be and all in all we had a good time and will go again, but it would be one of those courses that I'll golf only if there isn't anything else available and or has a great deal.
1) Tee boxes ehhh ok, were pretty rough and didn't have repair sand in the boxes. Par 3's were pretty difficult to find a good lie within the markers.
2) Fairways good, somewhat challenging and fun with different looks and a nice layout.
3) Greens good, not terribly difficult and we're in better shape than most.
4) Bunkers were excellent! (Not something I normally like to boast about) Sand was soft and very playable.
5) Price for the coarse was a little high, but it if you watch on apps you can normally find a deal.
6) Carts are older and arent in the best of shape. They were pretty chuggy, but got you to where you needed to go. They didn't have any repair sand containers on them to fix divots.
7) Cart girl was nice. Unfortunately there was only 1 out and didn't make it around much.
8) The bar had darn good food and the bartender was superb.
9) Everyone who encountered was super nice and accommodating. But, the crew seemed to be short staffed, scattered, and trying their best to be organized. They didn't have a bartender when the entire bar was full of people there for an outing. Bartender arrived to work and walked into a bad situation blindsided. Unfortunately, I think that the management may have some problems and the cause of this.
10) Overall appeal and conditions of the Resort wasn't bad and was nice. It seemed like a great place for a party/outing, wedding, and or bachelor/bachelorette party. Conditions of the surrounding buildings are showing some aging and could use a refresher.
