Foxford Hills Golf Club occupies land that once housed a mink farm. The course arguably has 18 signature holes, and it was conceived that way. The developer and original owner, Town & Country Homes, allocated the site’s choicest acreage for the golf course. Then came the creation of a memorable sequence of golf holes, each a unique experience unto itself, each an integral part of the whole. Although Foxford Hills is the centerpiece of a residential development, homes are visible only sporadically…reflecting the strategic placement of the golf course amidst the natural beauty of the McHenry County Conservancy District’s protected woods and wetlands. It’s also a testament to the finesse and creativity that went into course design.
Small wonder that from the beginning, Foxford Hills has garnered accolades. In 2002, it was a Golf Digest nominee for “Best New Public Course” of the year. It’s been hailed as one of Chicagoland golf’s must-play courses in numerous local and regional golf publications. Golf Digest awarded the course a 4-star rating in 2008-09.
Now owned by the Cary Park District, Foxford Hills has been operated by GolfVisions since its inception. Consistency has paid dividends. Explains General Manager John Miles, “At Foxford Hills, we pursue excellence all day, every day. We always focus on quality and aim high. We try to exceed expectations and ensure our guests have a great experience. Not to mention, Foxford Hills is the best priced facility in the Cary area, when you talk about quality of operation for the golfer in terms of fairness, playability and conditioning.”
