As one of the oldest golf facilities in Wisconsin, Fox Lake Golf Club was established in 1922 as a nine-hole course. In 2004 - eighty-two years later - a second nine was added. The original and new nines were blended together to form a challenging layout that golfers of all skill levels will enjoy playing. It's interesting to note that the original nine was often played as an eighteen-hole course by incorporating two sets of tees on each hole, so the golfer would play the nine holes twice, each time from a different tee which lengthened or shortened the hole.

The current eighteen-hole layout is designed in such a way that transitioning between the old and new holes occurs seamlessly. Granted, you'll notice a difference right away: the original holes have a park-like quality with mature trees and views of Fox Lake, while the new has a links feel and is pretty wide open. But they work well together and offer the golfer a nice change in scenery every few holes. Holes 8 and 9 offer stunning views of Fox Lake - have your camera ready to capture some great photos.

Most of the newer holes are bordered by thick fescue grass; our recommendation is to avoid these areas at all costs. If you're lucky enough to find your ball in the fescue - and we lost more than a few - getting out is another story. Take your medicine and be satisfied with 'hacking' your ball back into the fairway. We were a bit confused with the signage for hole #3. Both the scorecard and the picture at the tee box show water extending across the entire fairway at about 150 yards, meaning either a lay-up shot or a forced carry. Neither is necessary. The water hazard is not an issue on the right side and there's plenty of fairway to play to.

The current management at Fox Lake appears to be committed to ensuring that the golfer's experience is a positive one. We found the clubhouse to be a pleasant and inviting facility. Food and beverages were moderately priced, and the course was in great condition. If you've never played - or haven't played it in a while - you owe it to yourself to visit and experience the scenic beauty and challenge of Fox Lake Golf Club.
