Great local course for all levels
I have been playing Foster for a few years on the regular. Like any course it can get busy at peak times and slow down but overall pace is pretty good. It’s very walkable and not too long. They throw some tricky things at you on both the fairways and greens to keep things interesting. The only criticism that’s beyond their control is the odor coming from the landfill nearby that can get kind of strong on a few holes .
Hole in one
Had a great round and a hole in one on 11, 135 yards
Foster Golf Links
Thought I already posted this...anyway.
The course was in excellent condition and the greens are running true and fast. This is a great course for older golfers and those who do not hit the ball a mile. Some slowdowns on the par 3 holes, but an enjoyable round of golf.
Foster Golf Links
The course is in excellent condition and one of the best values out there. The staff in the club house is very friendly and helpful. I always enjoy interacting with them when showing up to golf. Fosters is among my favorite courses to play.
Great course. Nice views just the right amount of challenging.
Foster Golf Links
Course was in good condition and pace of play was good. It heated up in the afternoon, but there is a water station near holes 5 & 9 and the water is nice and cold.
Foster
Slow play. Golfers crossing fairways nearly every hole. Shirt show.
Not worth it.
Short holes and narrow fairways. Layout promotes players regularly crossing fairways.
Fantastic Links Course — Challenging Greens and Great Staff
This is a beautiful and very challenging links-style golf course. The par-3 hole over the water is especially exciting, and the greens are fun and demanding. Thank you to the course staff for taking great care of the course — it’s truly a pleasure to play here.
Fun day.
My buddy and I played with a guy who frequents the same bar that we do. Course in good shape l, pace of play was decent. 3 hours, 45 minutes. Had lunch afterward and It did not disappoint!
Foster Golf Links
Course was in excellent condition, but there were a few muddy spots around the course from previous day rain. Greens were fast, but played evenly on most holes. Had several one putts. Pace was good, with a few hold ups on the Par 3 holes. Still a nice day for golf.
Slow slow slow!
1 hour and 20 minutes and completed four holes. I called pro shop to see about a marshall. Was told no Marshall today. Finally couldn't take it and quit at the 11th hole.
Pace of Play
Played Foster a number of times. Course is in great shape. The staff throughout the facility is super helpful and great. BUT the pace of play has always been a problem. Seems like most days the course doesn't have a marshall which is super problematic.
5-6hr rounds is terrible, and is defn a possibility, which doesn't make sense when the course is not really difficult or long. Most likely won't be back due to that singular issue.
