Fox Hopyard
Designed by Roger Rulewich, the semi-private layout at Fox Hopyard is a sister golf course to Fox Hollow in Florida and Crumpin-Fox in Massachusetts, all three of which are owned by businessman Bill Sandri.
The fairways are laid out on fairly hilly terrain – particularly on the front nine, where several holes rise or fall dramatically – and the course is sufficiently tight enough in places to warrant caution off the tee with a club other than the driver.
The design throws up a few risk-reward opportunities, such as at the short par four 6th hole, where golfers can select how much of the expanse of wetlands they want to carry in order to shorten the approach to the green.
The five par threes on the card are all outstanding one-shotters, with the 202-yard 4th dropping a spectacular 90 feet from the tee to a well-protected green and the 249-yard 16th playing to a 50-yard long multi-tiered putting surface.
