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.

Course looks good. We started off at 11:15 and pace of play had finished up 4 hours later. We will definitely return to play the course again this season.

Course has maintained good condition. Fun day of golf. Few areas that could use improvement are the bunkers; the sand gets compacted and leads flushing the shot and the ball ends up flying 10 to 20 yards over the greens. The ball washer could use some updating a few are very warn and some were dry. several holes do not have ball washers at all.

The fairways and greens were in excellent condition. The one complaint I have is that some of the ball washers had dried up and some holes were missing ball washers altogether. Especially the one on hole 15 that has been dried up on multiple occasions.

The course was in very good condition. Weather was low 50s, so a bit cold but not too bad. Pace of play was very good until the last 3 holes...it backed up then.

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.

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.

Quick round.

2 guys I played with quit after 9. Rained about half the round but pace was still fast. Finished in 3 hours 10 minutes. Probably my fastest round ever here.

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.
