Wicked burst of rain and wind

We never got to play. Wicked wind and rain came through while we were at the range. The person in the golf shop gladly gave us a full refund and when I asked if he would book us for a future round he was happy to oblige. My wife and I couldn’t ask for more. See you soon Foothills Golf..

Oasis in the Desert

I have played this course 3 times this year. It is a fun course, with some challenges.

The tee boxes, fairways and greens are well kept. The tee boxes are crowned and occasionally placement of the box markers make it challenging for a level stance for the tee shot.

They keep the pin placement challenging, protecting them with well placed bunkers.

They greens, though well kept, tend to roll a little slow compared to other area courses. The pace of the greens is also affected by the natural topography too. They don't call it the Foothills by chance.

Overall it is a beautiful course with lots of green grass in the desert. Fun to play.

Good Course

Staff was great. Layout is awesome. Pace of play is good. Tee boxes could be more even. Greens were slow one day and faster the next. Better when they run faster. Other than that, great course. Definitely recommend it.

All the holes next to the club house were in great shape but the rest of the holes were definitely not as good. The fairways and greens were in decent shape but the greens were super slow. The sand wasn’t great either. It was an average course in my opinion.

Great conditions, but greens were super slow!

The course is looking great, and the greens look great, but they were super slow! Could never quite get the ball to the hole.... Not sure if they are using a different variety of grass, but the speed of the greens really were way too slow.

Greens and fairways ok

The rest of the course is a goat trail. Rocks lining the cart paths in too many spots, so you can't even turn the cart around.or go off the cart path. Maintenance off the fairways and greens is "iffy".Generally it's an OK track, not worth much more than $75.
Would I play it again? Probably yes.
I am a 14 handicap, and shot 81.
