Love the place, not the pace
Could use a marshal to help newbies learn th e basics around pace of play and not being in the way... a little old Golf 101 for the newbies. So many 1st timers in the fairway when you are teeing off, or little common courtesy stuff that unless they are advised, they will never learn. Love to see a "friendly" marshal out there to advise these newbies along the way and out of the way of those who have been playing for years and do not look forward to 5-5.5 hours rounds no matter how much we love the place
Pace of play
I normally don’t write reviews but something needs to be said. Tee time 10:50 am, teed off at 11:10. Took 5 hours to play a 4800 yard course. Who’s is managing the course and why hasn’t someone done something about pace of play?
Hello. Thanks for the review. We see you rated the course 1 star and are interested in learning what we can do to improve for your next visit. We take single star feedback very seriously at our course. Please reach out to our team in the golf shop. We always appreciate the feedback. Thank you for playing Foster Golf Links.
Thank you for visiting us at Foster Golf Links. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Great to be outside
Got out of the smoke in Sumner. Tee time at 8:58 and course was full. Pace was slow to start with, but got better.
Love the course and all the trees. Not so happy with the thieving squirrels. Stole my breakfast and then my turn energy. Silly squirrels.
Other than that it was a terrific morning..
Thanks so much for your review! Those squirrels certainly have a mind of their own. We appreciate you playing a round with us, and we hope to see you back again soon!
Fun for beginners and moderately skilled golfers
Played on Friday, and was my first round of golf in years, played 9 holes and had a blast, course was and good shape and the pace of play was pretty fast considering all the other high handicap golfers on the course.
The wide fairways were forgiving, and I even shot my first par on hole 9! All in all, i'd play this course again, perhaps when it's less smokey.
The smoke made it hard to play more than 9 holes, but that was out of the control of the the course managers.
We look forward to welcoming you back to the course, especially since the smoke has cleared. Thanks for your great feedback and review!
Your feedback is important to us, thrantim. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Foster Golf Links.
Short Course
Course plays 4800 from the back tees. Flat, easy walking course. We played early (4th group off) and played in 3 hours. Not extremely challenging but ;lots of trees so you need to keep the ball in the fairway. Greens were in excellent shape and fairways were very nice.
Thanks for your kind words about our greens and fairways! We cannot wait to welcome you back again for another great round!
Slow pace
Very slow pace for the group ahead of us, 4-5 balls each and trying to act like pros that wouldn’t let us play through. Other than that enjoy the course.
Thanks so much for coming out to our course, and for your feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back again very soon!
Fun place to play
The reviews are pretty accurate:
- Charming, old timey course - check
- Short track (most par 4's 300yds - or less) - check
- Slow play - check
- Balls flying everywhere - check
But I gotta say, if you understand what the golf experience is there, you'll have a great time. I mean the 19th hole is named The Billy Baroo for the crying out loud! Course was packed all the way past when we finished (teed off at 2pm, finished 7pm) with people having a fun time enjoying a late summer round. Lots of couples, lots of friends. Drink cart ever present. Charming course, decent, playable conditions and the greens were actually very nice.
If you're looking for a regulation, serious golf experience, it might not be for you. But if you want to have a fun time in a nice setting and have a modicum of patience, give it a shot. Knock a few back, tell lots of stories between shots, have a tasty burger after. To be honest, if you can't have fun at Foster, the problem isn't the course, or the slow play, or any other lame excuse, the problem is you.
Thanks so much for your kind words! We're so happy to see that you had such a wonderful time with us. We cannot wait to welcome you back again soon for another fantastic experience!
Always fun
Just wish pace was a little better as a short well kept course should never be a 5 hr round. Maybe course marshalls would help but regardless....will continue to play here as even though ahort offers nice challenges especially on back 9
Thanks for the honest feedback, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future soon. Thanks again for taking the time to write us a review!

Good run for a shorter course!
Forster only downfall is a lot of people know about it, so you can play a 5-6 hour round and won’t be that bad. I will always come back but now i know what to expect.
We're pleased to see you enjoyed your time with us! We look forward to welcoming you back !
Thank you for visiting us at Foster Golf Links. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Great day on the course
Beautiful but warm day on the course. Pretty busy, and the pace wasn’t the fastest, but an overall good time on a well maintained course. Definitely worth the cost of a round. We’ll be back for more.
Thanks so much for your review. We're so pleased to read that you had a great time! We look forward to welcoming you back again very soon for another round!
Quick Round
We teed off at 6 AM and there were already 4 groups ahead of us. We played in just under 3 hours, never holding up the group behind us or waiting on the group ahead of us. greens were in very good shape and the fairways were in good shape. Bunkers were in great shape and fortunately I was only in one of them all day.
Thanks for your compliments about our course. We're glad to see you had a great time, and we hope you'll come back again soon for another round with us!
We really appreciate you taking the time to rate us 5 stars!
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're thrilled you enjoyed your round with us!
