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.

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

Excellent course, play, and price

Foster outshines every other public course in the Seattle area. Awesome pace of play, firm but forgiving greens, and perfectly manicured fairways. The staff are always friendly and keep the first tee marshaled to avoid hold ups. I play here every Friday plus one other day a week and plan to continue for the season.

Hard to Beat for the Money

This course is a great value for the money (I paid $35 per person with cart). The clubhouse is nice and the course is well maintained. Concessions are reasonable and the cart comes around several times during your round to make sure you have refreshments.

About the course - it's a short course without a lot of variety, but it's really well maintained. I would aliken it to an 18-hole version of Interbay or a nicer version of Jefferson.. Well maintained, fairly easy, and relatively inexpensive.

Definitely better than Jefferson/Jackson or just about any other muni course around Seattle.

Packed tee times & slow pace of play.

I like the course layout. Simple straight fairways, short 18 with mostly 300 yard par 4s. This links style course should be an easy course to move people. HOWEVER, the way they are packing in tee times with groups of foursomes and more back to back within mins is extremely worrisome for social distancing and pace of play. I had to leave at hole 7 as a twosome with the 3 groups of about 11 people stuck at the next tee as we're we pushing 30 mins a hole. Almost 2 1/2 hrs before even reaching the 9. I informed management that it was not the first time as this happened on a Wednesday noon, sat 3pm, and fri. They have a serious problem with packing tees causing so much buildup. I really wanted to love this course. We tried 3 times. Think we're done, first time having to leave mid round to beat traffic back south.

Fan of Foster but....

Mind you I really love the little course and typically I always enjoy the day there however my past experience is has been partly due to value one gets for a well run small course usually with good pace and well kept greens. Yesterday was not the case unfortunately, A marshall on course might have kept the pace up a bit with a lot of newbies playing, but the cost of Foster should not be anywhere near a $58 round. Not worth it at all. This is at best a place one should be able to play for $40 tops .... all courses are charging more, but slow pace, high price, short course, becoming close to not a good deal anymore if it stays this way

Course was in really nice shape. Greens were fast and rolled well. Well maintained. The only drawback may be the length for some. I liked it short.

Fun Afternoon on the Course

I played Foster with a foursome on Friday evening, and we had a great time. The course is in excellent condition, and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. The greens were in better condition than I've ever seen them at Foster. The only reason my review isn't 5-star is because of the pace of play; the tee times are stacked tightly and there was a bit of a log jam ahead of us. That said, we totally understand that the course may need to stack tee times tighter in order to make up for lost income from earlier in the season. I will definitely be back at Foster before the summer is up - thanks for a good time!
