SLOW

twosome - went on a rainy colder day. course was fantastic even in poor conditions. However, on a day when maybe 10 people went out - we had to wait on almost every hole as there were no ranger anywhere. at the turn we asked about speeding up the players - we were told we could skip a hole or play the first nine again if needed. All it would have taken was to urge the others to either allow us to play through or pick up the pace. I am not a good golfer but know how to play at pace.

Troon Ruined Foothills

The reviews on here are baffling to me. It makes me wonder... "Did we play the same course?". I'll start by saying I've been playing at Foothills for the past 5 years. It used to be one of my favorite courses - the layout is fun, and it used to be reliably in pretty good shape. Then Troon took over. They jacked up the prices and have offered nothing in return - in fact things got worse. The desert areas are unkempt jungles, the "rough" is a mixture of dirt patches and weeds, there are random collections of nasty water/mud all over the place, the fairways are patched with dirt areas/weeds/random holes. Honestly all that I can live with for a "budget" course (which I wouldn't consider foothills given their current prices but whatever). But the main issue is the greens. They are what I would call "carpet" with plenty of old divots and random tufts of grass popping up. The general rule of thumb seems to be hit it and pray you get the right bumps and the speed is consistent. Some greens are better than others - but the inconsistency of it all makes it pretty tough to play. I'd love to ask any of the reviewers who apparently are ignoring this to play ANY other course that charges these kind of fees to tell me the greens are comparable. I hear rumors that the course is closing in May... Well the maintenance shows it. To me it seems like they've just about given up.

Do what you want with your money. But in my opinion this course is a complete scam, and you are better off playing anywhere else. I absolutely guarantee you will get much better value.

Greens slow and inconsistant

Fairways are just beautiful, obviously being well taken care of. Greens are slow with some being really slow. Understand they are redoing the greens which is good. Hopefully the price stays the same.

Good round

Course is now a Troon managed course. Tees, fairways and greens all in good condition. Although cart access around the greens are very restricted. Prepare to walk some. I like the layout and scenic views.

Staff is friendly but no carts in parking lot which is awkward.

All in all one of my favorite courses in the area. Price is up over last year. Hope the price doesn't go up significantly with new management.

Good day all around. Will be back.

Enjoyable round. Very nice track in good condition except for some dead pan areas in rough. Friendly and helpful staff (especially the starter). Great day of golf with good pace.

Slow pace of play

Foothills is a great layout! Since last year the course conditions have improved! The look of the course is improving.

Only issue was the pace of play - we played behind a tournament which supposedly had a 'Ranger" out there moving them along. We waited on every hole during our 5 hour round. Need marshall on this course!

Seems like they need to work on the sprinkler system for 16 of the 18 holes. Greens are inconsistent
