Fox Run Golf Club
Overview
The Gary Kern-designed Fox Run Golf Club, set among the dense deciduous forests outside of St. Louis, features tight driving areas protected by penal bunkering, rows of trees and challenging greens. The club was purchased in 2023 and is in the process of an enormous renovation project headed by Art Schaupeter, with a focus on expanding driving areas and green complexes, and the goal of making the course more playable from diverse tee positions. Once the renovation is complete, the course will feature stunning bentgrass putting surfaces with new bunkering and fescue-lined fairways.

Review
“Played this course on a very wet day, so tough to get a read here. The whole ethos at Fox Run appears to be the "way back" tees that measure something over 8000 yards. Although we played from well short of there, there wasn't too much strategy to be had, and when there was a bit, it was very penal. Just not that memorable, even if it wasn't soaked."
