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.
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!
Short track in good shape
This is an executive style course. It was in good condition, especially the greens. I enjoyed it, yet am unlikely to return. I’m visiting the area and, if I gol some more, will be choosing longer tracks.
Thanks for coming out to play our course. We hope you'll give us another try in the future.
just fun day
Almost always enjoy a day at Foster even though front nine was noticeably slower than back. Just seemed too crowded again for a good pace. Too many waits at tees and from fairway waiting to hit approach with this many going out so bunched up
Thanks for coming out for a round, and for your great rating. We appreciate your review, and we hope you'll be back again soon!
Thank you for taking the time to review us Gforce63. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Foster Golf Links thanks you!
it was very slow today, no marshal to keep the game going.
Thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us, as well as for your feedback.
We look forward to welcoming you back to the course, especially since the smoke has cleared. Thanks for your great feedback and review!
