The East Course which is considered to be the more difficult of the 2 courses at Foxfire, formerly known as the Grey Fox, sits among rolling terrain with several doglegs cut through tall pines. Shot making is very important on this well bunkered layout with elevated greens. Heavily guarded with deep bunkers, golfers find it important to position the ball on the proper side of the fairway to get the best approach angle to these slightly smaller greens.  Starting on the 1st tee, golfers look downhill to a large lake that divides the fairway forcing players to hit 3 or 5 woods. Often with a slight downhill lie, the second shot on this par 5 requires a well struck shot across the hazard to set up and approach to the narrow but deep green.  The most scenic holes, #9 , #12 and #13, require well placed tee shots with demanding approaches to multi-level greens that are slightly smaller than the opening holes.
