Amazing Golf Course

Sick!!!

Beautiful golf course and lovely homes.

\I recently had an opportunity to play a round of golf at Fox Den. Not being able to find three friends that could play during the week, I was paired with three members and things couldnt have gone better. One thing that they pointed out was that, other than the par 3s and a couple of other holes, you cant see the green from the tee box. The tee shots arent necessarily blind, you can usually watch them land, but course knowledge out here is everything. Two of my playing partners have been members for 40 years, the other for 5. I asked them what made membership so special, expecting to hear the standard answer, the members. I was pleasantly surprised when each one replied The golf course, its just fantastic. Thats a hard point to argue. Just as Willard Byrd promised when he built the course originally, there are plenty of rolling hills and beautiful wooded areas, unless youre in them. Then theyre not so beautiful. Water comes into play on several holes, but not in areas where you cant see it. In other words, no blind shots where you could find the water if you didnt know it was there. Fairway bunkers have been strategically placed and for the most part, are reachable regardless of the tees youre playing. Most of the fairway bunkers, although on the peripheries of the fairway have large lips and are fairly penal in nature. The Bentgrass greens are moderately fast and roll true with subtle undulations.The Teaching Center is one of the top golf club fitting studios in Tennessee and helps Fox Den members get the most out of their golf game by analyzing and comparing different club heads, shafts, etc. They use the TrackMan 4 video system for custom club fitting and teaching. TrackMan can measure ball speed, clubhead speed, launch angle, club head angle of attack, and path, just to name a few. There are two indoor hitting bays so members can work on their swing year-round.Fox Den has the practice facilities for golfers to work on every facet of their game. Theres a full-length driving range with multiple target greens. The short game complex has areas for golfers to practice green side and bunker shots and the 10,000 sq. ft. putting green has all the undulations to get you ready for the course. Theres a second putting green adjacent to the first tee which many members use to practice short putts and chip shots. Fox Den Country Club offers several membership options with the most popular being the Full Membership. With a full membership you have access to pretty much everything Fox Den has to offer: The golf course, driving range and practice facilities, the teaching facility and use of the Trackman system, the tennis center, junior Olympic and Childrens swimming pools, fitness center, dining facilities, member events, and ClubBenefits at over 350 country clubs and entertainment venues around the world.

Fox Den has five of the best clay courts in Knoxville as well as two hard courts that are lit for night play. Within the clubs Tennis Program theres a wide variety of leagues and clinics for men, women, juniors, and couples. The Tennis Pro Shop can help with tennis supplies, stringing, and repairs. Tennis isnt the only racquet sport at Fox Den, they also play pickleball. Its the fast-growing sport in the country and is a great way to introduce kids to tennis. The fitness center at Fox Den is quite impressive. For starters, theres a cardio fitness room with treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes, and a cardio theater. The stretching room has a number of stretching tools and balance balls. There a variety of Precor machines and a free weight area with barbells and dumbbells.

Food and service are quite good.
