Fox Run (Formerly Okemo Valley)

Unveiled in 2000, the course at Okemo Valley Golf Club is a Steve Durkee design that lies on the other side of the main highway leading to the ski slopes at the Okemo Mountain Resort. Featuring bent grass tees, fairways and greens, the course is a heathland-style layout that extends to modest 6,400 yards, playing to a par of 70.

“A shortish test whose eastern reaches climb a bit,” writes Daniel Wexler in The American Golf Resort Guide, “it makes extensive use of tall native grasses in attempting a heathland look and begins with a front nine built around a pair of well-bunkered par fives plus the downhill 186-yard 8th.

The longer back nine begins with a driveable par four 312-yard 10th and a water-flanked 513-yard 11th, but flexes its muscles during a closing stretch that includes two big par threes (the 230-yard 14th and 213-yard 17th) and the layout’s three longest par fours, the best of which is the 438-yard tightly-bunkered 18th.”
