TEE TO GREEN CONDITION 8-25-05

|
These three courses (Fox Run, The Willows and Pioneer) are open to the public, owned by Kenton County. They take my Visa or Mastercard with a smile. No cutoffs or tank tops. They have a driving range. Beer is available. No walking at Fox Run.
Fox Run has bent grass tees and fairways, leading to medium sized bent grass greens. Most greens are either deep or wide and protected by sand traps. Ponds, streams and mature trees can be found on this hilly course. Many elevation changes make it quite scenic. A few doglegs require previous experience or a "look see". Fox Run has received favorable remarks from noted publications. We like it too. Designed by Arthur Hills. Built in 1992.
From the tips its a 7,055 yard par 72.
Slope 143 Rating 74.8
...And of course, they have other tees to accommodate other levels of play.

ON COURSE COMMENTS 8-05
Three course municipal complex is efficiently run. It's a nice place. Some very picturesque holes. Lots of different terrain...expect side hill lies. As the slope and rating indicate, it's a difficult course.
Unfortunately, Fox Run fairways are some of the hardest hit I have seen during the drought. Course needs a little recovery time.
We're not crazy about 17 or 18.
We gave $46 on a weekday, with cart. We haven't seen Fox Run crowded at any of our visits.
