Greens terrible. Fairways marginal. In fairness to Foohills the water well got salt in it and caused considerable damage to the course. They are trying to to restore greens and fairways

Don’t bother playing here

The greens were redone in summer 2024, and was a complete failure. Not one green was playable, dead grass, bumps and gouges, bird poop, etc.

It’ll take at least 6 months before the greens are remotely playable. Check back in May 2025 to see if they’re ready yet, but I wouldn’t count on it.

It’s a shame, nice course, beautiful clubhouse and grounds. Just don’t waste your time playing golf there. I made a tee time 2 months ago and there was NO MENTION of the greens, complete misrepresentation to me, the customer.

Garbage condition, destroying their reputation

Foothills has the chance to be a great course, but they're going to destroy their reputation keeping it open with the greens how they are. They were shut down all summer 2024 for a full greens renovation only to have 70% of every green completely dead and bare sand. At this point just shut down until the greens are playable, and fire the greens keeper.

Fraud!!!

All the greens have a disease and are, for all intents and purposes, un-playable.

No warning given on GolfNow and no mention when we checked in at the pro shop and no apology when we were finished.

And to add injury to insult, they treated the greens with something blue that is now part of every player's golf shoes.

FOOTHILLS BKR

Your staff was very welcoming and the service was really nice.

The greens have some issues with the missing grass areas and sand used to cover bare spots. This made putting even more of a challenge for sure.

The overall course layout is very scenic and offers up the opportunity for a nice round of golf. If we come back to play we will inquire about the greens prior to making a tee time.

It's fine until you have to putt

good layout, value and people at Foothills..... problem is they lost their greens so not a fair test of golf as a lot of luck involved with rolling in putts at this time. Hopefully they get them back soon as I've always found the layout good .
