Great course for higher hcp players
Course was in great shape, with tee boxes, fairways and greens all excellent. Rough was not as high as it was last week, fortunately for me! Played in less than 3.5 hours, with occasional periods of waiting for the groups ahead. Course has many shorter par 4 holes, which is good for me as a shorter hitter. Plenty of golfers of all skill levels out there.
Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you had such a wonderful round, and our course played in your favor! We hope to see you back here again soon!
This course is a confidence builder
A few unique hoe design, play quick and easy, less pressure on the game.
Thanks so much for coming out the course and playing. We hope to have you back here soon!
Good Times in Tukwila !
Great and accessable course . Very playable and well maintained course . Nice views of the river , great clubhouse and pro shop too !
Thank you for the kind words. We work hard to keep a well maintained course, and ensure every round is an enjoyable and memorable experience. We look forward to having you back here soon!
Great way to social distance
I really appreciate Foster allowing us from riding in separate carts during this time. No extra charge, just a cart without question. Not all courses are doing that, they should and Foster should be thanked for stepping up and making a great day of golf available for us during this time.
Thanks so much for the stellar review. We are doing what we can during this time to accommodate to everyone and will continue to do so. Thanks again for coming out, and we look forward to having you back here soon!

Great day for golf!
Friendly staff. Course was a little rough, but we’ve had some rough weather lately. Overall, this is a great course.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a kind review. We're hoping the weather will clear up soon. We appreciate your loyalty and hope to see you back here soon!
Friendly knowledgeable staff who help you to a good experience on the course.
Thanks for your kind words! Looking forward to having you back here soon!
Meh
The conditioning was pretty good, a little soft for how dry the weather had been but that can be forgiven in a flood plain. What got to me was the routing, the front is a snooze, it's very out and back with 7 very straight par 4s. The most exciting hole on the front is the 5th, a par 3 with two whole bunkers. The back is a little better and saves the course, we finally get our first par 5 and the river comes in to play making the shots a little less tedious. All and all, I'd probably only go back if I wanted to spend a 5 hour round drinking.
Fun
This isn’t the best review as the day we played there it had been raining in Seattle for a week. It was raining the day we played. The course itself looks pretty fun, but there was a ton of standing water all over the course from the rain. I would love to come back in the summer and play the course when it is on its best shape. Staff was great and the bar/restaurant at the club house was good.
fun at Fosters
I enjoy playing this course because it is not too long ,but plenty challenging. The staff are great, and the course is in fantastic shape for this time of year especially the greens. It is one of my favorite courses to play
Thanks so much for the great review! We are so pleased you had such a wonderful time, and we cannot wait to see you back here again soon!
Chilly winter day
Great day to play. Low 40s but dry. Very few players so pace was excellent. I like the course.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating, culbrz46! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Foster Golf Links!
Great training ground...
Easily one of the best short course to fine-tune your short game before a tournament or so. Even kick off your golf season next year on this course like a warm up. Right now, muddy/very wet but playable. Mark, clean ball, place is mandatory for each pre-shot. Great value for the run. Good bar. Great staff. Great location. Cheers.

Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back!
Short course great for seniors easy to walk but still challenging
Foster is a fun course to play, and a great spot to take golfers who do not hit the ball long and you like an easy walk. Or if you want to play 18 well under 4 hours. It’s fun course, while there are a few difficult holes, it is by no way a difficult course. Three of the Ppar 3's are over water. Hole #6 is a long Par4 425 yds The rest of the Par4's are short, 300 yds or less, but you have to hit down the middle on the narrow tree lined fairways. Both holes 14 and 15 are short Par 4's , 250 yds or less but you need shape the ball around two huge trees to hit the greens from the tee. The clubhouse and staff are great. Billy Baroo’s, the course restaurant, has excellent food, 20 beers on tap and a large outdoor patio next to the course.
Thanks so much for the review! We strive to create a wonderful experience, and we're so glad you had one. We hope to see you back here soon!
Well kept nice course
This course is the perfect for seniors . Fairways and greens in good conditions for the rainy season Seattle. Excellent value thru Golfpass . Definitely will be back again
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating, Helenlee1945! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Foster Golf Links!
Fun and fast
Have now played Foster a few times this fall. Overall well maintained and laid out. I am not a long hitter, so I appreciate that it is a shorter course. The shorter par 4s and the par 3 are laid out to be kind of tricky so there are definitely challenges there, especially for a new golfer like me. Pace of play has been good, with 18 holes taking about 3 hours, Tee time bargains are also to be had, making it even better!
Hi, biwaracing. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Foster Golf Links. We look forward to seeing you at the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Thanks for coming out to the course, we hope to see you back here again soon!
