Fox Hollow Golf Club

Fox Hollow Golf Club sits in Somerville, New Jersey, a course designed by Hal Purdy that reflects the rolling terrain characteristic of the Somerset County landscape. Purdy, who worked extensively in the Mid-Atlantic region during the mid-to-late twentieth century, routed the layout across varied topography that incorporates natural elevation changes and wooded corridors typical of central New Jersey golf courses from this era. The course plays through a mix of open and tree-lined holes, with the natural contours of the land creating strategic interest off the tee and on approaches. Water features come into play on several holes, and the green complexes show the period's emphasis on readable but defended targets. The layout offers a straightforward test that rewards accurate iron play and course management over pure length. Fox Hollow serves as a daily-fee facility in a region with a strong golf tradition, providing accessible public golf in an area bordered by more exclusive private clubs. The course caters to a range of players, from local regulars to visitors exploring New Jersey's golf offerings beyond its better-known Shore layouts. Its location in Somerville places it within the state's central corridor, convenient to both residential communities and the broader New York metropolitan area.
