Foxhills is a golf club and resort located in Ottershaw, Surrey, United Kingdom.[1] It was established in 1975 and named for Charles James Fox on whose former estate it's located.[2]

History

[edit]

Foxhills is credited with helping launch the career of Ryder Cup player Paul Casey through the Foxhills Foundation junior golf programme.[2] As of 2019, it was one of only two venues to twice serve as host green to the PGA Tour, the first time in 2017 and the second in 2021.[3]

2012 Olympics

[edit]

During the 2012 Summer Olympics, the GB cycling team stayed at the hotel. The hotel had been chosen 15 months prior to the 2012 Olympics, and the hotel lavished £60,000 on cycling equipment, such as installing Wattbikes.[4]
