Fox Acres Country Club began in 1960 as Ray Stenzel's dream of a quiet getaway for a little golf and some fishing for just a few friends. Located in the rolling hills about 45 minutes northwest of Fort Collins, the modest beginnings of this extraordinarily beautiful country club began when Stenzel bought the old, 38-acre Red Feather Silver Fox Farm, complete with a log house, for $12,000. After many of the fox pens, buildings and other debris were cleared away, Stenzel began building his vacation home. He also included a putting green and two pitch-and-putt holes.

In 1965, Stenzel hired teaching professional John Cochran to build a nine-hole course. However, with further land acquisition, the plans for a nine-hole course soon grew to a 6,350-yard, par 71, 18-hole course. For nearly 20 years, Stenzel & Cochran worked together, perfecting a course that blends well with its natural, lush environment against the Roosevelt National Forest. Fairways were created by felling trees only when absolutely necessary; rock was dynamited and removed, only to be replaced with tons of earth and sand; and among the swells and slopes of greens and fairways, the rippling man-made lakes create forbidding water hazards for 12 of the holes. Shortly before Cochran's death in 1985, he proclaimed the project his ultimate masterpiece, attributing its success to having 'set out to preserve the natural terrain as God gave it to us'.

Today, Fox Acres Mountain Resort Community is a magnificent, 18-hole championship golf course with 15 pristine lakes teeming with large Colorado trophy trout. Additionally, there is an on-site Vita-Course fitness trail, tennis & all-purpose courts, children's playground, an on-site conference facility, family lounge & game room, a day spa & fitness center, and several guest rooms and homes for rent. A master plan provides for about 250 homes, consisting of single-family homes, patio homes, town homes, condominiums and Cabin Club at Fox Acres; a shared ownership development. As it is with so many aspects of Fox Acres, bold innovation is the hallmark of the utility system. There is an underground concrete corridor method that is utilized to house heated water mains and waste outfall lines, electric, telephone, fire & burglar alarm lines. This advanced infrastructure was a historic first in Colorado.

Now owned by the Kevin Frazier family of Fort Collins, CO since 2006, the Frazier's are members as well as owners, and continue to improve upon the work that was masterfully begun by Ray Stenzel over four decades ago. Recognizing the need for a place to 'get away from it all', the Frazier's are committed to keeping Fox Acres intimate and tranquil. The original conviction and characterization of Fox Acres remains intact; "A retreat for family and friends".
