Different but fun
A short but fun course with some interesting challenges. While the first three holes lull you into thinking you will shoot in the 60’s, the long par 4 five hole will set you straight. The back 9 is more interesting and fun, starting with a makeable par 5, a par 3 over the river, and #12 requires you to stay left or long and down the middle or a slide fade/slice will put you in the gulley or river to the right. Then you have 3 short par4’s in a row where you can experiment with an alternate club to avoid trees or bunkers. These are fun holes. The 17th hole is a long par 3, which may have you reaching for your driver, and watch out on the 18th, you don’t want to be on the left side. Good course for beginners or people wanting to work on different aspects of their game. Oh, and the greens are mostly flat and well groomed. I had 6 1-putts my last two times out here and I’m a pretty average putter. Enjoy!
It sounds like you had a fun and challenging round with us and we couldn't be more pleased. We hope to see you again soon.
Second Time A
Played last year for the first time as course was very wet due to winter rains. What a difference when it's relatively dry. Short course that is excellent to try different clubs and shots where you don't need driver. Greens were in great shape. Though the course was packed, still finished in 4 hrs. Recommend this course to beginners and others that need to fine tune their irons. Great value for the money.
Thank you for the very kind words and four stars! We're thrilled that you enjoyed your round and enjoyed our layout and conditions. Please come and see us again soon.
Don’t go if you aren’t part of a group
Unprofessional clubhouse employees. I had to tee off #10 because they let a group of eight go off of #1 before me. So I make the turn and there are 4 groups in front of me. I asked if I could just get a rain check for nine holes. No and “ I don’t have time to deal with this” was the answer. They said I paid the early bird for 26.00 so I play at my own risk in terms of pace of play. The regular green fee is 28.00!
So because of the employees error and bad judgment I get punished over 2.00! What a joke. I drive 30-45 mins most times to play your course. I take it early bird is before 9:00am, my tee time was 8:50. So 10 mins difference and 2 dollars more your telling me I wouldn’t have to wait for 30 mins to tee off on my 10th hole? I understand not every round will be smooth and quick but you can’t punish me because I’m a single golfer , And might I add, a single golfer that will never play at fosters again.
Great until back 9
This was a great deal to get out and play a round at a great value, until... they slipped an extra foursome in front of us at 10, then it slowed and we ended up waiting on nearly every hole the rest of the day and almost always had the group behind us waiting on us at the tee box. Never much fun, hurrying shots.
We're sorry to hear about the slower play, but we're glad that you otherwise enjoyed your round with us.
Thank you for leaving us four stars!
Perfect day of golf
The golf course was in awesome shape even after the big snow and freeze still couldn't drive the cart off the path but that was okay ---people there were friendly and easy to deal with.
Kind of hate to give them to good of a review because then they will raise the prices haha!
Thank you for the wonderful five-star review! We're thrilled that you had a terrific round with us and we hope to see you again soon.

Thank you for leaving us four stars!
We had 3 players scheduled but only 2 showed. Can the 3rd players green fees be reimbursed?
Hi, Christina! Have you contacted the golf shop in regards to this issue? They would be the best to speak with regarding your situation.
Very nice course!
I found a great deal on Golf Now for 18 holes here, although I was only able to play 9 holes because I had another event that day. The course is extremely well maintained, and has very forgiving fairways, great for beginners. We had lunch at the clubhouse restaurant also, food was great, service was slow but friendly. I’ll definitely play here again!
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a great five-star review! Please return and see us again soon.
Very good course for the money. They do a good job of keeping the course in good shape. It's great having a course like this close . Tip of the hat to these folks.
Thank you for the very kind words and five stars! We hope to see you again soon.
Thank you for leaving us five stars!

slow face
very slow pace, long waiting, very good fairway and green
Had fun
Had a great time. Long wait on every hole. only ended up playing 9holes do to slow pace
Driver, short irons, putter
Yeah, it's an easy muni. Still, if you hit accurate drivers, you can use it 14 times. The farther you hit it, the easier it is. Sounds like every course, but there are 13 300+ us par 4s, so short iron skills yield birdie opportunities. Recently aerated, but healing nicely. Fun.
Good bargain option
I have played Foster several times now and for the most art enjoy it. Short but not boring, pace usually ok, and there is a pretty good mix of holes so it is not too redundant. They could use a little more practice area, but not sure where that would be. Not the first time I have arrived and they had no carts ready, and no one was cleaning or getting the returned carts ready either this time on a busy Saturday. That was pretty lame, but it was a hot deal and a bargain with the greens recently punched, so one cannot really complain too much. Could be better but pretty good for what we paid.
more work
they were doing the tee boxes this week, greens still a little rough. Have also been cutting the edges of the traps, defining them better. One of the best things about this course is that if you come as a single and want a cart you don't have to share it.
Thank you for leaving us five stars!
