Fox Hills Golf & Banquet Center

Fox Hills Golf & Banquet Center in Plymouth, MI, has something for golfers of all ages and abilities. Just ask James Piot, who grew up playing golf at Fox Hills and went on to win the U.S. Amateur title at Oakmont in 2021. He turned pro in 2022 and is now playing on the LIV Tour with a top-10 finish in Bangkok. That may be the best advertising Fox Hills has received in recent years!

Fox Hills is home to 63 holes of superb golf set on 500 acres of prime Michigan real estate: the 18-hole, par-3 Strategic Fox Course, the 27-hole Classic Fox Course, and the 18-hole Golden Fox Course. What I found interesting is that regardless of which course you’re playing, all the greens are in tremendous condition and rolled true! They get quicker as you move from the Strategic Fox to Fox Classic to Golden Fox. The two 18-hole layouts have five sets of tees, so finding a suitable yardage shouldn’t be a problem. And, although they are all on the same property, each course has its own clubhouse.

The Strategic Fox Course was designed by renowned Michigan architect Ray Hearn and opened for play in 2001. With yardages ranging from 91 to 196 yards, odds are you’ll hit every iron in the bag, and maybe a hybrid or two! The course offers well-groomed fairways and greens with terrific views of the surrounding area. It is a great course for beginners and will challenge experienced players looking to improve their approach shots and short game. On that note, there’s also a driving range and short game area.

Strategic Fox has three patriotic tee boxes (red, white, and blue) with yardages from 1,738 to 2,524 yards. Water and wetlands come into play on several holes. The 17th hole plays 171 yards from the Blue Tees and is nearly all carry over water. A lone bunker protects this large, kidney-shaped green that is much wider than it is deep.

We all know that Michigan winters can be brutal, and that golf is usually a forgotten event. Fox Hills has something that will drive away those winter blues. Their Performance Center now features eight Trackman simulators, representing the latest shot performance technology. With Trackman's advanced radar and camera tracking, you can learn everything about your golf swing and identify areas that could use improvement. You can also challenge friends to a round on over 260 preprogrammed courses or play challenging skill games with the kids. It’s a great way to keep your golf swing in good shape during the cold Michigan winters.

In addition to being known for 63 holes of spectacular golf, Fox Hills has been recognized as one of the top wedding destinations in Michigan and is home to three separate and unique banquet venues that can host upwards of 400 guests.

Fox Hills is easily reachable from the metro Detroit area and will delight any golfer. I’ve never seen a golf facility that offers so much!
