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 .

Long Drive, Good Experience

My Buddy and I traveled to play The Foothills last Friday (12-13-24). The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Special shout out to Claire who ran the Restaurant when we were there. She is a definite plus as she made our 45 minutes waiting to play enjoyable. Nice to have young people willing to exchange ideas. She really made us feel that our business was important.

Greens are in poor condition.

Staff are excellent. Unfortunately course conditions are not good. Greens are virtually unplayable. Unfortunate as this was a course fun to play last year. Hope things improve.
