About this course

Nestled in Elk Grove Village, Fox Run Golf Links presents a compelling challenge for golfers seeking a satisfying, accessible round. Built in an era where functionality and community access were emphasized, Fox Run is an approachable parkland course. It eschews penal length in favor of strategic bunkering and subtly contoured greens. While its history may not boast major championship pedigree, Fox Run is woven into the fabric of local golf. Players find themselves navigating doglegs that favor a controlled fade off the tee, while others are rewarded with a draw. The layout is known for its well-maintained conditions, reflecting a commitment to providing an enjoyable experience for all skill levels. The course does not necessarily evoke the echoes of titans of the game, it offers something perhaps more valuable: a consistent, affordable, and friendly environment where both newcomers and seasoned players can hone their skills and enjoy the camaraderie of the game.

Getting there

Fox Run Golf Links sits just northwest of Chicago in Elk Grove Village, making it readily accessible from O'Hare International Airport (ORD), a mere twenty-minute drive south through the suburban landscape of Cook County. Those arriving by private aircraft will find Palwaukee Municipal Airport (PWK) an even more convenient option, positioned just minutes from the clubhouse and offering the discretion preferred by members and their guests. The final stretch carries you through the quiet residential corridors of the northwest suburbs before the manicured grounds and distinctive links-style routing of Fox Run emerge - a refined sanctuary carved from the Illinois prairie, offering an unexpected escape from the urban sprawl that surrounds it.
