About this course

Blue Fox Run Golf Club's Red Course occupies rolling terrain in Avon, Connecticut, a town in the Farmington Valley northwest of Hartford. Designed by Stephen Kay and opened in the late 1990s, the course represents Kay's approach to modern public golf design, emphasizing playability across skill levels while incorporating natural land movement and strategic options. The property features elevation changes characteristic of the Connecticut uplands, with fairways that move through wooded corridors and open meadow areas. The routing takes advantage of the site's topography, presenting golfers with a mix of uphill and downhill holes that require thoughtful club selection. Water features come into play on several holes, and the bunkering style reflects Kay's preference for natural, irregular shapes that tie into the surrounding landscape. The course layout encourages ground-game options where the terrain allows, though aerial approaches are often necessary given the elevation changes and green complexes. Blue Fox Run operates as a public facility and serves both daily-fee players and members. The course has hosted various regional amateur events and qualifiers over the years, contributing to Connecticut's network of tournament-quality public golf venues. The conditioning and maintenance standards aim to provide a consistent playing surface throughout the season, and the facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that supports both casual rounds and organized competitions.

Getting there

The journey to Blue Fox Run Golf Club begins at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, a straightforward thirty-minute drive west into the rolling terrain of Connecticut's Farmington Valley. The route traces the northern edge of Hartford's suburbs before slipping into Avon's wooded hillsides, where the landscape opens into a quieter, more pastoral rhythm. As Route 44 gives way to local roads, the transition is marked by stone walls and mature hardwoods - a fitting prelude to one of the state's most thoughtfully routed daily-fee experiences, tucked into the countryside just beyond the capital's reach.
