Fox Run Golf Club: A New Chapter After Major Renovation
Golf enthusiasts, gather round! Big changes are underway at what was once the Okemo Valley Golf Club. A fresh new name and a boatload of renovations mean that your golfing experience is about to get a thrilling upgrade. Welcome to the Fox Run Golf Club, now owned by Fox Run Properties LLC after a hefty $2.71 million acquisition from Vail Resorts.
Reimagining a Golfing Haven
The club, sitting on a stunning 279 acres, has transformed into an exciting hotspot for both golf lovers and families. The previous owner, Vail Resorts, had previously acquired it along with the famous Okemo Mountain ski resort back in 2018. With this rebranding, Fox Run Golf Club aims to bring a new zest to the golfing scene.
This beautiful course is not only nationally ranked but is New England’s only heathland-style golf course. With a par-70 layout stretching over 6,400 yards, it boasts undulating bent-grass greens framed by trees and decorative grasses, creating a picturesque backdrop against the stunning Green Mountains.
The Renovation Journey
Even before the official acquisition was finalized, extensive renovations managed by McAlpine Contracting were already in full swing. The first phase of renovations has already made huge strides, enhancing the golf course and its amenities. Quite a touch-up, right?
With these changes, expect to see six new forward tees and rennovated sand in a whopping 95 bunkers. A keen golf enthusiast will also appreciate the introduction of new Salsco rolling equipment designed to deliver faster greens. Aspiring golfers can now embrace the game with a four-hole novice-level course, perfect for families and beginners with holes ranging from 60 to 100 yards.
A Place for Everyone
The Fox Run Golf Club doesn’t just cater to seasoned golfers. The friendly atmosphere welcomes everyone with open arms. Currently, there are 170 private members, but the club is open to the public, inviting more players to join the fun. Additionally, the 500-yard scenic dog walk allows visitors to enjoy views of the course while spending time with their furry friends.
More Than Just Golf
When winter rolls around, Fox Run Golf Club doesn’t hibernate. Instead, it transforms into the Okemo Valley Nordic Center, featuring 14 miles of __Nordic track trails__ and snowshoeing adventures across 8 miles of trails. The property also connects to the regional snowmobile trail system, with added perks like indoor parking and gas refilling stations for snowmobiles.
Clubhouse Wonders and Future Plans
The centerpiece of the club is undoubtedly the two-story clubhouse, which houses a full-service pro shop, a lively restaurant named Calcuttas offering year-round modern American cuisine, and luxurious locker rooms. With a spacious 9,200-square-foot clubhouse connecting to a 12,000-square-foot indoor training facility, it’s safe to say Fox Run is gearing up for fantastic golf sessions.
The renovated pro shop even features indoor driving nets, a putting green, and a simulator for those rainy days. In addition to these enhancements, exciting outdoor amenities such as new bocce courts and a horseshoe pit have been introduced, with plans for tennis and pickleball courts in upcoming phases. It’s shaping up to be a true recreational hub!
The Future Looks Bright
Looking ahead, Fox Run Golf Club is set to continue its growth. With two more development phases planned, we can expect to see the introduction of hospitality options and luxurious senior housing components in the area. These future plans aim to enhance the overall experience for club members and guests alike.
So get ready to tee off in style as Fox Run Golf Club opens its doors to an exciting new era. Grab your clubs, invite your friends, and get ready to enjoy all that this newly revamped course has to offer!
