Course in nice shape

Had not been here since last year, as it does not play well when it is too wet or too dry. The course conditions were actually quite good, with the patchy muddy/dirt areas on many of the fairways now gone. Greens in pretty nice shape as well. There were numerous areas of standing water, due to heavy rains the day before. Pace could have been better, as the foursome ahead of the twosome ahead of us fell way behind and there was no marshal to speed them up. Should not take 4+ hours to play, especially on a weekday.

After the rainy weather it is looking good

I like the people I meet at the tee box. I mainly check in as a solo player. It never fails that I get put together with enthusiastic players. For just coming out of the winter months that last 7 months in the Pacific Northwest. The course is in relativly in good shape. It is 85% good, you get the water in the middle of the fairway occasionally. The check into the pro shop is always professional. The restaurant is first class, and the greens are rolling almost perfect. The value you receive as a golfer is high.

First Time Playing

Back nine is a downer

It got really backed up at 11 on a Tuesday early afternoon. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to get somebody involved there to make sure groups were getting waved up properly. The groups there have very little clue of golf etiquette. Other than that it was pretty good.

Fast Round at Foster Links

Played a quick 18 at Foster Golf Links. Overall course conditions were good -- a few standing poodles and muddy areas on the course. Cart parth only for the round. Don''t like hitting off mats on the Par 3s. Looked like the onsite restaurant (formerly Billy Baroo's) was closed for renovations and may re-open under a new name. Rained while I played the back nine but the course held up nicely while I finished my round.

First round of the year, the course was soggy, but well maintained. They did have a pair of towels in each card and they were useful to keep the golf balls clean. Shot my lowest round ever so it was quite enjoyable for me.

F$&@#?G MATS

Hitting off mats on par threes is the worst. Why, I currently know no other courses using mats!!! if you’re forced to use mats, why not have the mats be in great shape on a level surface. The mat on the 11th hole is the worst of the worst. The location is terrible. The mat is terrible. It’s not even level.

Would I recommend foster to a friend ? Yes with a number of caveats.

Wet but fun

First few holes were a bit wet while it was raining, cups were full of water and the greens were a pool. After it stopped raining it dried out pretty quick and the last 13 holes were super fun. Almost nobody there and could listen to music pretty loud and take breaks to eat.

They’re going in a strict instead of laid back direction

it used to be a bargain with staff that were friendly and reasonable, particularly during the last hour that you could play now they are rigid, charging for all holes, no matter what they even put a gate in the entrance for the whole course eventually and now they close the other gate for the parking lot before it’s completely dark considering it’s just a glorified executive course should be a little bit more humble when it comes to playing and Customer treatment

Great value. Good course.

Foster links is a very well-maintained course with friendly staff and a very attentive beer cart presents! It’s considered an easier course, but it definitely has some challenging holes and overall is beautiful! If you play during the salmon run season, you can see the salmon, jumping all throughout The green river, which runs through the course! Highly recommend playing this course. The only thing I would change is that I don’t believe it is good business to charge extra for two people to ride in a cart.
