I have reviewed this course before, but came back to see how the recent changes worked out. The course installed three new holes on the back, and a very nice practice facility. Sadly, as the previous reviewer noted, it's still the same old Longview, despite the new Fox Hollow name. The new holes, #10, 12 (a very challenging par 5), and 13 are OK, but clearly need some time to grow in. The greens on these three holes are SUBSTANTIALLY larger than everything else on the course. The rest of the course is the same as previous reviews, and frankly, just ain't worth the price they charge: we paid $37 as seniors for a weekday round, and I felt that $27 would have been more appropriate. Pace of play was awful...there was a foursome a few groups ahead of us that had at least two holes open in front of them...with no ranger in sight at any time. Baltimore County just doesn't take pace of play seriously; at least not at this course, whatever it's called. Play Pine Ridge or Rocky Point instead of this track.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Worse than average course for the area
