Getting greener

This course is always a great layout that gets brown & patchy in the summer. But the grass is getting thicker and greener. Enjoy this < $20 bargain before the snowbirds return.

Beautiful course...

This was my first time playing The Foothills Golf Club. The staff was friendly and was at awe about how well manicured the course was, I'm not a good player but this course is manageable (if you hit it correctly) and I feel was forgiving for my slight slice (or fade).

I was a single player and was paired with a nice gentleman who was a scratch player and his girlfriend. You need to look out for this guy if and when he turns pro. I forgot his name I think it was TJ or JT?

Anyway, play this course, you will not be disappointed!

Where's the water?

Course is in great shape.
Every water cooler on course was empty..
No excuse for that in Phoenix when temperatures were in the 90"s.

Joke management

Been playing here 15 years...course has ebbed and flowed but nice shape now except for greens. Tolerable except the staff doesn't understand customer service. I trade my money for a good time playing golf with some expectations that other courses understand. Today my issue is ZERO water in the hydration cans....no cart girl...and shack at the turn closed up well before it should be. Just unpleasant to have a decent course but no regard for the guest. Disappointing owners think that's ok.

Pace of Play

Our tee time was 10 minutes late because the course was "backed up." When I tee'd off, the starter, Jay, guaranteed that we would be back at the turn to see him at 2 hours on the dot. He assured me the pace of play wouldn't be a problem and that someone was out there enforcing pace. I saw him at the turn after 2.5 hours and he had nothing to say to me. He went and walked as far as away as possible from the turn to avoid speaking with us. After another 2.5 hours, I was finally able to finish a round at this course. There's no reason I should get stuck behind extremely drunk individuals yelling on a golf course taking 2-3 balls off the tee and the marshall (if there even was one out there) not doing anything about it. Absolutely terrible experience.

Great course, slow 18th

Everything about this course is great, except for the CPO 18th hole. There was 3 groups ahead of us and it took us a long time to finish the round

Foothills Fun

Greens and fairways in great shape. Rough is kinda bare dirt and weeds in many spots. Staff very friendly. Great beverage choices. Coolers with ice provided on carts along with small cloths. No USB ports or club washers on cart.

Overall, a great experience. We will be back.

Fun Day

First time playing the course, the potential of this course is unreal. Fairways were in great shape, greens were a little slow, but overall a pretty darn good track. Rumor has it that the course is going to be getting some work done. We will play it again when we get come back next year just to see the improvements.

SLOW

twosome - went on a rainy colder day. course was fantastic even in poor conditions. However, on a day when maybe 10 people went out - we had to wait on almost every hole as there were no ranger anywhere. at the turn we asked about speeding up the players - we were told we could skip a hole or play the first nine again if needed. All it would have taken was to urge the others to either allow us to play through or pick up the pace. I am not a good golfer but know how to play at pace.
