The Players Club at Foxfire Golf Club
About
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.

Solid test
Second time I've played here. Last time was 8 years ago. I'm not sure why I haven't been back before now. Very nice layout and quite challenging. The greens and fairways were in excellent shape. Both are bent grass. Yes, the cart paths and bunkers are a disaster. Oh well. financial constraints are always an issue with rural daily fee courses. Many of the bunkers are essentially unplayable and should be considered ground under repair. The ones that are playable require a low bounce small flange 60, 62, or 64 degree lob wedge. Very hard under the small layer of sand. One of the employees said they are probably going to let some of them go to grass. If you know about the paths and the bunkers before the round you should have no other complaints,....well....except maybe for a few of the greens. Some are far too contoured and too difficult for a public course. If you played here regularly you would learn them and learn were NOT to miss on your approach shots. Where to never be long, never be left or right if the pin is in this or that position, etc., etc. Some are just too difficult for their own good and really slow down play. On the whole however, I did enjoy the course and I will return this summer for sure.

Best value in central Ohio!
Great course at a great value
The course was in great condition, except that the bunkers were all dried up and not tended to. Pace of play was great. Staff was very friendly. Greens were fast once the sun dried them up. Like the title say's, it's a great value for a tough and challenging course.
Players 18Apr16.
A fun course to play. #'s 14,15, and 16 are very tough; long with narrow fairways. Bogey is a great score on any of the three. Course has other tough holes with some easier holes mixed in. Always try to play there a couple of times every season.
Some challenging par 5's
The bunkers weren't done, awful but the course was in great shape
Players
Nice layout and course. Challenging. Traps needed sand prepared better. Some hard some washed out Overall great value. Just steer clear of bunkers!
great evening of golf: FIrefox Players Course
The summer in central Ohio was tough and many courses, including this one, show it. While the bunkers are less than desirable, the greens and fairways are in good shape. The greens are quick and there is plenty of water! I play golf 2-3 times a week on public and private layouts and this course is a gem. Very challenging layout. It has fairly narrow fairways, some blind tee shots, and the occasional unknown tee shot yardage, but I really enjoyed this course. Playing it more than once would definitely lower the stroke average!
Good and bad
Like so many courses in Ohio, this course is not what it used to be. We ended playing every bunker as ground under repair. They have n. They just don't have the money to maintain them - they need to sod most of them over - no shame in that. Clubhouse is bare bones as far as merchandise. Cart paths are in disrepair. That being said, the greens were in great shape. Fairways were good, tee boxes in decent shape. Challenging layout. Compared to the few courses left, Foxfire is a decent value and hopefully they will make it.

The pace of play was slow. Goose droppings everywhere on greens and tee boxes. All the bunkers were either under water or solid mud, not playable. No water on course, either.
Players Club going downhill
One of the most challenging & difficult courses in Columbus that is highlighted by Holes 15, 16, & 17. This course is a strong test for experienced golfers. I regard this course as one of the elite courses in central Ohio. However, I was extremely disappointed in its current condition. Not a single bunker had been raked for play on Labor Day and nearly every bunker had standing water & mud! Very disappointing for a course of this reputation. Many dead/dying trees need cut down.
Excellent
Wonderful course. Excellent condition. Difficult play. Not the easiest course I have ever played which teamed with the excellent condition makes this one of my favorite courses.
great and bad
the course was excellent and extremely challenging. the course was very clear for us until about 7th hole and we let two singles pass us on back to back holes. the only bad came when a thunderstorm popped up and rained us out of the back nine. i'm in hopes we can get a rain check for the back nine...the course mgr already stipulated to me that he would vindicate our claim.
Tough greens
Some tee boxes were in rough shape. Green #2 and #14 need cleaned badly (geese drooping s everywhere). Play this course couple times a year. Greens were quick. Some very wet areas and some bunkers were more dirt and rock then sand. Still love it here.
One of my Favs
What can I say? Beautiful course with some birdie holes and some real ball-breakers (literally and figuratively). When you score well, you feel you have accomplished something.
Nice course, great price
Course was in great shape . Greens rolled true. Water in play and tight fairways on back nine provide excellent challenge.
Wise's first visit
Wonderful lay out very challenging course a must play course!
Great Value!
Course is in very good condition. Greens are nice and true and rolling pretty fast. Some trap are thin and most have dirt instead of sand but they're mostly playable. Also played about 5 holes on the Foxfire course and it's much nicer than I remember from many years ago. I would recommend playing both courses!
Good value
The course can be challenging with a lot of water and traps in play. The traps were more like mud pits than sand traps, though. The play was slow also. We had to wait for the group ahead of us on almost every hole. The rough is truly rough and the back nine is narrow. Overall, I really enjoyed the course and will definitely go back again.
