Fall Foliage very pretty

Foster is a pretty course out in the country. The fall foliage was beautiful. The course was a little wet from a rain storm from the night before, however the leaves were beautiful and well managed on the course.
Some holes were tough to play because of casual water in the fairways, however from playing the course before, I was aware this happens to this course in low lying areas.

Foster CC today very slow....

I don't know what it was, It seemed like always waiting to strike the ball. We eventually by-passed some players for slow play, to move along fine on 3 holes only to meet up with more slow players. No one in front of them also. We made it thru the front nine to clubhouse only to find clubhouse closed to players. Wedding going on.

Great layout

Played here many times however I traveled over 45 miles to play again. I like this course. Challenging layout. Although its fall, the greens play quick careful of the break.

Slopping Greens, and Fairways

I've played here before, last year. However I forgot the course, so it was like playing a new course all over again. Slopping fairways, with slopping greens, made it challenging. Course management is integral to playing this course, keep the ball in play, play to the lower slope on the greens play the ball upward. Miss the hole by a rim shot you can still be playing 10 - 12 foot put. Best to just sink the putt. ::))

Rained Like Cats & Dogs

Staff was friendly, Knowing it was going to pouring rain, tried to cancel through Golf Now. however as many times I called, there was no answer. The golf course was open at my tee time, and were preparing for a large tournament later in the afternoon. first two holes it sprinkled, then came the rain, after 5 holes the course was flooded. I was soaked, couldn't see.
As a VIP member I tried to cancel, but as I say no one answered. Not Golf Now's fault, it's the chances you take. however I was hoping to have talked with someone regarding conditions.

This course has really fallen on hard times

Quite frankly, for the price I paid, not bad. The course is in terrible condition.
I can not In good faith return here, as there probably will no longer be a course here. It needs a lot and a lot more TLC.

First round of the Day.

Arrived for 1st tee time of the day 1 minute late. The starter, was pushy, was more wanting to keep telling us we were holding people back, no one behind us at this time. Kept talking while I was getting balls out of golf bag. Ignored him, had an excellent round. will return to this course. BTW played 36 holes this day.
18 at another course. Beautiful layout here.

2nd round of our day.

We had played earlier today on a different golf course.
We were primed and ready. started off hitting a long drive right into a bunker, then into another bunker. In fact found the beach quite a few times today. Bunker placement critical. play the course.!!! If you can manage to keep the ball on the fairway, you will be greatly relieved to have good results. Greens in excellent condition. finished up right at sunset to a beautiful sunset. Will love to come back to play again. this time with a little knowledge of the course

Early Morning Round

I believe we were the second golfers out this morning.
We showed up right at tee time, however the starter was kinda pushy, didn't give us the time to get our stuff ready. Just hit the ball.. no one behind us. The course had a beautiful mist over it, absolutely fantastic. greens had a little sand, still rolled true.
I'll return here....

Great Day & A Little Cold (Frozen)

Really enjoyed this course, a couple of narrow fairways.
I imagine that during the regular season, the course could be more challenging, however it is winter golf after all. The greens were frozen as well as all the ponds. Loved the way the ball bounced off the pond and landed on the green... LOL.
it also works the opposite way, lands on the green bounces and lands 40 yards away... LOL.
I'll be back next summer...
Loved the par 5 hole that does a complete U Turn.

Blustery Fall Day Colorful leaves...

I had read some not so colorful reviews, and was very relieved to have found great conditions at this course.
There were leaves blowing off the trees, so easy to loose balls on the fairways, even on the greens. Typical fall day in New England. Beautiful.
Greens were in excellent condition, very fast. tap the ball, it goes a mile, :))
Staff was very friendly, Thank You I'll come back again

Scared for my life. :((

I'm a senior from New England, I play about 4-5 times per week. Upon putting my clubs back into my car, a person drove up wanting to park next to me. It was about 5:10 pm. The parking lot was nearly empty, with plenty of other very accessible spots available to park.
The man got out of his car, and wanted to pick a fight with me.. he demanded me to move my clubs and cart immediately. He approached me very aggressively , and quite frankly scared me a lot. My wife moved my clubs and cart. He approached me again and got into my face again. I started calling 911 and he decided to move along. For this reason I will not ever return to this area.

Play here every week

Tee boxes, Fairways, Greens in good shape.
Don't read too much into the greens.
Playing the white tees is one course, playing the blue tee's is an entirely different course.
Course management is important
Fairways can get narrow.
Staff is friendly.
There are a lot of tournaments held here.
I play here at least once per week.

Great Deal

A little off the beaten path
Watch for Ospreys guarding the chicken coop.
1st 11 holes rather what you would expect, next holes
12 thru 17 not what you might expect, finish up with a par 3, 18th hole. I love coming to the 19th hole. Food is excellent.

I'm just disappointed, the cart paths are terrible, the 5th hole is just a major embarrassment, a lot of hard pack on the fairways

Laurel Lane has spent a good amount of time this winter renovating the 5th hole. I bet you would be pleasantly surprised to see how beautiful it is now. We have also put some repair into cart paths - as we try to make improvements to the course each year. I am sorry you were disappointed. Many customers call Laurel Lane the gem of south county.
