Course is in excellent condition and well maintained. Got an early start today, so was able to finish before the weather got too hot.

Nice day for golfing.

Course was in excellent condition, the only issue was some minor back ups and slow play by a few groups ahead of us.

Fun mid week morning round

I've played Foster many times and it's in the best condition I've ever played it. It's a good course to walk but knee problems have me riding for now. The staff are always nice and helpful. The new restaurant is good, bartenders and waitstaff are very friendly though the food delivery was rather slow. The outside patio is quite nice which made for a pleasant wait.

Very friendly course.

It was raining a little. One of the guys in the pro shop wiped down the seat of the golf cart. It was stocked with extra towels and red, white and blue tees. Since the weather was a little iffy the pace of play was great.

A good go-to for a time efficient round

This is a nice course which is located just south of Seattle. Layout is straightforward, with no heavy carries. Holes 11 and 16 must carry the river and its banks but not too intimidating even for a novice player w sound fundamentals. Fairways are in very good shape, compared to last time I played her some 2 years ago. No standing water, but can see where that could happen in Fall, like at the beginning of Fairway #12. There are no Par 5’s so you can play this course easily in under 4 hours if you are not “impeded”

SLOW

Unfortunately the group ahead of us were either beginner golfers or did not have or understand golf etiquette because they were at least one to one and a half holes behind the group ahead of them…and they didn’t have the sense to allow groups to pass through. Other than that it was a great day…sunny with a slight breeze.

Course was in excellent condition, fairways were mowed and greens smooth and fast. The only issue is with the bunkers, they were dry this week, but the sand is usually packed down and makes bunkers shot extremely difficult. Would like to see more maintenance on the bunkers with loose sand that you can actually swing your club through. Most shots result in very little sand or skulled shots that fly 20 yards over the green.

Sunday golf with my son

The course was well maintained and really enjoyable the play. The fairways are open and the greens are a little fast, but I felt the course was an excellent shape. I will definitely play the course again. I enjoyed it.

Foster's golf links

Heavy rains the night before saturated the course. Many bunkers had standing water. Overall the course was in good condition and still had a very fun round despite high winds. A few trees cracked and on hole 15 a large branch broke off and fell. A reminder to stay alert when playing in high windy conditions.

Great Public Course

Great par-68 course with fast fairways. I was impressed with how dry it was considering it rained heavily 36 hours prior to our tee time. Pace of play is terrible though and there was no marshall to enforce it. Seemed like there are regular golfers who come multiple times a week and just get drunk and play terribly. The restaurant has decent food but again saw the same drunk guys who held up the course and they were bothering other tables as well. Somehow this needs to be better enforced as these guys hurt the vibe to an otherwise great course.

Great conditions!

Been playing here numerous times over the past 6 years or so and the conditions right now are the best they have ever been. Fairways are all nicely grassy and greens are very nice too. Great place to play for a straight forward round at a decent price.
