FOX HOLLOW GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 St. Michael, MN, USA
Designed by Joel Goldstrand
Fox Hollow Golf Club's Back/Black combination represents the more challenging routing at this daily-fee facility in St. Michael, a northwest suburb of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Designed by Minnesota architect Joel Goldstrand and opened in the late 1990s, Fox Hollow was conceived as a 27-hole complex that allows for varied course configurations throughout the season. The property sits on gently rolling terrain characteristic of the region, with natural wetlands and mature tree lines shaping the playing corridors.
Goldstrand, who has designed numerous courses across Minnesota and the upper Midwest, typically emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating strategic interest through bunkering and water hazards. The Back and Black nines at Fox Hollow follow this approach, offering a layout that tests accuracy and course management more than raw distance. The routing moves through a mix of open and wooded areas, with several holes playing along or across wetland features that require thoughtful club selection.
As a public facility, Fox Hollow serves a broad cross-section of Minnesota golfers and hosts various local tournaments and outings throughout the season. The course remains accessible to daily-fee players while maintaining conditions suitable for competitive play. The 27-hole format provides operational flexibility and helps distribute traffic across the property during peak summer months in the upper Midwest.
