Good grass

Course was in good condition. Fresh grass after seeding. Rough was a little thick and I unfortunately spent some time in it. Greens were a little slow, but in great condition. Course was busy, pace of play was a little slow but not too bad for a holiday weekend.

Seems like they need to work on the sprinkler system for 16 of the 18 holes. Greens are inconsistent

Staff were great. Played in 4 hrs so pace was great. While course was in good shape the greens were very slow. Even downhill putts were like pitting on velcro. Layout was good and in spite of greens would play again for right price

Good round

Course is now a Troon managed course. Tees, fairways and greens all in good condition. Although cart access around the greens are very restricted. Prepare to walk some. I like the layout and scenic views.
Staff is friendly but no carts in parking lot which is awkward.
All in all one of my favorite courses in the area. Price is up over last year. Hope the price doesn't go up significantly with new management.

It’s improved from last year but not quite Troon quality yet.

No leeway

Course is very challenging especially when it is windy. Fairways were very good and greens grassy. Did not seem if greens had been cut requiring you to putt much harder than other valley courses. Due to the difficulty of the course, a 4 1/2 round is normal.

Was required to pay for our 4th player despite him not being able to play due to a family emergency. I understand policy but leniwncy in this case would have appreciated,

Favorite

Foothills has been one of our favorite courses over the past 3 years. It is a shame that the price was quite a bit higher this year. I was fortunate to get a discounted rate of $75, which is about how much I feel this course is worth. The starter tried to stress a 4 hr round. We kept up with the group in front of us and finished in 4:20, which felt like a good pace. They had roped off the 1st and 18th fairways so those were cart path only, which was a little annoying. The course was in nice condition, except the greens were quite bumpy and slow. Appeared that they needed mowing.

Slow greens

Earlier reviews were correct about the pace on the greens. They were also accurate about the bag boys being useless. They were very self-absorbed and ignored me both when we arrived, and when I was returning the power cart. I had to do everything myself. In spite of that we had a great day because the course was in perfect condition, and the weather was great although quite windy. Pace of play was great but the twosome we were with were very slow. We would definitely play the course again if we could get the hot deal price

Cool Layout

The course is a nice layout but there are several weeds and dirt patches all over the place. For what this round cost me in relation to the condition was pathetic and not easy on the eyes. The greens and fairways overall were solid but there needs to be some serious groundwork in order. I’d basically call this place a “goat-track” Normally don’t post reviews on here either.
