This course is very playable

The greens were in good shape. Pace of play bogged down the last three holes. The course is fairly short and trees come into play often. It was a pleasant round and convenient as I waited to do an airport pickup. I would play again. It was hot so I rode, but it would be an easy course to walk

Sloooow play

The staff left their post at the pro shop and left someone in charge that could not take money. We waited over 45 min. to get checked in. No marshal on the course and people were hitting more than one ball off the tees ahead of us, One group kept making a run to the club house to get beer and kept driving in front of us. There was a fight on at the 12th hole that required the police.

nice short course

the course is very wet in lots of places - the traps are all full of water and so a clubs length outside the trap for a free drop - luckily I didnt end up in any of them but a new golfer friend had some difficulty which made for a poor experience - its a nice course with a river that runs thru it and several water hazards but overall a pretty but somewhat challenging course that will test your accuracy even tho the front has no par 5's the back has 3 of them but they won't let you go off 10 so if you want to play nine only you will always play the front. the back is very nice if you ever play it - as a disabled player who frequently only has the energy for 9 it gets old but on nice days its a quick round for 9 holes at a good price!

nice gem

Great spot if you're looking for a decent track close to Seattle. This course is super short but the conditions, walkability, and pace of play are what attract me to this course over any of the Seattle muni's...especially on the weekends. Great place to work on irons off the tee!

Midweek at Foster

Due to recent rain, the fairways were slow.
However, the greens were in "perfect" condition. Few people were playing, so the pace of play was great. The staff (Angie) was friendly and helpful.
A great day AND a great value...I'll be back !!

Nice and Easy!

Duck and cover!!! Very nice course,but tight fairways! Balls come from everywhere! Ok this course is well set up,great for most levels of golfers. I'm sure better golfers get a little irritated with errant balls flying, to me it was adventurous. I missed a couple fairways myself. They are tight! Had a great time,there are a few drivable greens. Speaking of greens,they were in great shape. A little challenging. A nice links course that pretty much has it all.

Nice, well maintained course

Played this course with a buddy on early Thursday morning. Arrived almost half hour early but staff said we could start right away! Course conditions were fair-very clean, but with some spots that were not draining well. Greens were surprisingly fast, well maintained with hardly any blemishes. I knew this place also offered foot golf, but they conceal the holes very well that it doesn't become a distraction. I'd definitely come back, esp. with Those Hot Deals from GolfNow.

Best round of golf to date

It was a great pace as noone was in front of us or behind...so the pace was perfect. I think the Hawks game made alot of golfers stay home.

Everyone is friendly.
But one thing I did consider about smells.
I am not sure the smells came from.
May surprised you first time you are play here.

food poisoning?

Had a wonderful round of golf. Easy course to play. Greens were well kept. Sadly I got very sick from the pork sandwich served at the restaurant. Someone should check out conditions in restaurant kitchen. I'd play Foster again, but obviously I would not eat at the restaurant.

Watch what your paying for

I booked the coarse for 32.00 per person and when I got to the coarse there was an additional $14.50 per person cart fee, not sure how they can justify that, probably won't golf there again

Worst course played ever

We took course from Seattle and on the way back we had one day free. So we thought to have a round in Seattle. Found the course on golfnow, because we did have time to do the research.
Proshop was OK. The rental club is very old and no name, but it is cheap 16 bucks for a 4000 yard course. Play pace was so slow, Full of beginners. No marshal, no starter.

And there is no shower neither. We had to be stinky all the back to Toronto home. Food was OK, but the waitress is not that nice and only want to get more tips - no honest neither.

Course condition is just the worst. Dead patchs on green all the way. fairway is so rough, you don't see difference between rough and fairway.

Maybe I picked the wrong course. However even the cheapest course here in Toronto is way better than this.

Tom
