Fox Hollow Golf Club

Fox Hollow Golf Club sits in St. Michael, a growing community northwest of Minneapolis in the lake-dotted terrain of central Minnesota. Designed by Joel Goldstrand and opened in the mid-1990s, the course represents the regional style of public-access golf that emerged across the Twin Cities metro area during that era of expansion. Goldstrand, a Minnesota-based architect, worked extensively throughout the upper Midwest and brought a practical approach to routing courses through the area's characteristic landscape of gentle rolls, wetlands, and hardwood corridors. The layout at Fox Hollow moves through a mix of open and wooded terrain typical of the transition zone between Minnesota's prairie and forest regions. Players encounter holes framed by mature oaks and maples alongside more exposed stretches where native grasses and strategic bunkering define the playing corridors. Water features come into play on several holes, reflecting the natural drainage patterns of the property. The course offers a straightforward test that rewards accuracy and course management rather than overwhelming length. Fox Hollow serves the northwest suburban golf market with a walkable design and conditions suited to regular play throughout Minnesota's limited season. The facility operates as a daily-fee course accessible to the broader public, typical of municipal and independently owned courses that anchor golf in communities beyond the urban core. The setting provides views across farmland and newer residential development that characterize St. Michael's evolution from rural township to outer-ring suburb.
