Staff is inconsiderate
Took my friend who is suffering from both Parkinson’s and bile duct cancer. I asked for a handicap exclusion from the cart path only rule and was told it wasn’t available. Two hours later I saw two of them on the course.
I called the course later for an explanation and they couldn’t give me one.
Never again will I play this course
Fun day golfing
We were paired with 2 gentlemen that knew the course well. Made playing fun. Will definitely play Foster again this season.
Reasonable condition during rain
I played when it rained. I rode the cart and the fairway was relatively better than I expected. The course was well maintained. I will definitely play again.
Very Happy
The round was perfect and so were the participants.
DId not know anyone but very nice people.
Extremely slow
Just advising people if you have not played course. I believe the average golfer there to be old and high handicap. Play is extremely slow. It is a short course and should be played rather quickly. Our round was over 5 hours.
Great deal
Great deal! Course was really wet. Muddy on several shots. Cart path only was a bummer. It was cold but it was fun. Golf now was awesome price, $12.00 with cart! Can't beat it.
Fun course to play in a pinch
The golf course is in good shape with all of the we have been getting. Greens are slow and fairways are soft but that is to be expected. We finished our round in four hours so the pace was good. Lots of walkers , but they played fast and it didn’t affect the pace. Just wish the restaraunt was open earlier than 11:00 on weekdays.
Good day
Fairways had some bald spots but still got some good bounce and roll. Green's where bumpy but didn't roll that bad. Their work early gets golfers today, we were a twosome and three groups lettuce playthrough. Not always the case as a lot of people have no golf etiquette. This is always been a good course to practice your irons only one par 5. With the little schmoozing they could make the long part 3 into a par 4 in another home to a par 5.
Still dry
Was quite surprised to only find a bit of standing water on #1. Often mud on the ball but good for this time of the year. There was a 5some 2 groups in front of me so played in a creative order, didn't hurry and finished in 2.5 hours with my best score of the year.
Nice option, but has always been busy.
I've heard it's one of the busiest courses around, and I can attest it probably is. Only played it twice in a year, but was always busy (weekday)....but steady pace. Figure close to 4.5 hours for 18. Nice layout, various holes, not boring back & forth flat golf. Very nice clubhouse. Will play it again.
Just ok
The rough is too long. Balls disappear in it that wouldn't at other courses. Too expensive for what it is. Play Riverbend or West Seattle instead.
Tough little short course
Dont let the short yardage fool you. If you dont hit the ball straight this narrow little well layed out course will beat you up. Had a good time playing here while working in the area. Ill definitely play it again before my time here is done.
Great par 4 course
Great course for all levels of players. Wide fairways. Maintained well. Always meet nice, friendly golfers. Good location. My favorite place to play!
Overbooked Weekend
It took us over 4 hours to complete just 9 holes of golf. It was one of the most trying and fatiguing golf I have every had. Never saw any course Marshals addressing the long wait. Way over booked.
It's always a good time at Forest Link. The pace was a little slow in the front nine but back nine pace was great.
Excellent job
Apparently there was an issue regarding the 2 tee times I made. Excellent job by both the course and GolfNow in getting it resolved.
Aceski,
At the time of your arrival, the golf course was under the Cart Path Only rule.
Later on in the day, we received notification that we could open it up to those in need. It was well after you were scheduled to play. We tried to explain that to you when you called.
Foster obviously wants to accommodate all of the golfers that come here. We would have loved to allow your partner the ability to drive on the course. There is no reason we would not want to help.
Hopefully, you will find a moment to return and play our facility.
