Introducing the New Fox Run Golf Club: A Revamped Paradise for Golfers and Nature Lovers

Golf enthusiasts and nature lovers, get ready to tee off at the newly revamped Fox Run Golf Club, formerly known as Okemo Valley Golf Club. Recently acquired by Fox Run Properties LLC for a staggering $2.71 million, this 279-acre property has undergone some serious renovations and is set to bring a fresh wave of excitement to the golfing community.

A New Chapter Begins

In a shift of ownership, Vail Resorts, which had acquired the club alongside the Okemo Mountain ski resort back in 2018, decided to sell the golf club to make way for this new era. As part of the transition, the golf club has been rebranded as Fox Run Golf Club—a name that promises an inviting and vibrant experience.

Impressive Renovations Underway

Even before the acquisition was finalized, extensive renovations were underway, skillfully managed by McAlpine Contracting. The first phase of these renovations focused on revitalizing the golf course and its amenities, ensuring a beautiful and functional space for everyone to enjoy.

Fox Run Golf Club is no ordinary golf course; it stands out as New England’s only heathland-style golf course, featuring a stunning 6,400-yard layout adorned with undulating bent-grass greens, lush trees, and decorative grasses, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Green Mountains. The course welcomes around 20,000 rounds of golf each year, making it a favorite hotspot for golf lovers.

Exciting New Features

four-hole novice-level course is now available, featuring holes ranging from 60 to 100 yards.

More Than Just Golf

Fox Run Golf Club is not just a golfer’s paradise. It also boasts a 500-yard scenic dog walk, complete with overlooks of the course for the community to enjoy. Outdoor activities are reaching new heights with the addition of new bocce courts, a horseshoe pit, and plans for tennis and pickleball courts in future development phases.

In wintertime, the property transitions into the Okemo Valley Nordic Center, offering visitors 14 miles of Nordic track trails and 8 miles of snowshoeing adventures. Snowmobile enthusiasts can also rejoice, as access to the regional snowmobile trail system is available, along with convenient indoor parking and gas refilling for snowmobiles.

A Luxurious Clubhouse Experience

The centerpiece of this amazing resort is a stunning two-story clubhouse that houses a full-service pro shop, locker rooms, office space, and an amazing restaurant called Calcuttas. This inviting restaurant serves modern American cuisine and is open year-round to cater to all your cravings. Plus, the clubhouse connects to a 12,000-square-foot indoor training facility, which includes indoor driving nets, a putting green, and a simulator, offering a premier golfing experience.

Future Developments on the Horizon

Exciting plans are in store for Fox Run Golf Club, with two future development phases set to include hospitality and luxury senior housing components. The aim is to enhance the overall golfing experience while providing custom living and hospitality options.

Membership and Accessibility

With a current membership of 170 private members, Fox Run Golf Club also welcomes the public, making it a vibrant community hub for golfers of all levels. There’s something here for everyone—from seasoned pros to families looking to have some fun on the course.

The transformation of Okemo Valley Golf Club to Fox Run Golf Club marks a new beginning for golfers and visitors alike. Whether you’re swinging your clubs or enjoying a leisurely stroll with your furry friend, there’s plenty to look forward to at this stunning new golf destination.
