Not the best

Tee boxes ok but not great.

Greens very poor, to much sand.

Fairways are ok.

I don't know what happened, just a few weeks ago the course was great.

First of all, thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback.

We appreciate your continued support and understanding regarding the current condition of our golf course. We have recently experienced poorer than normal water quality, obvious extreme weather, which combined with an early overseed has seriously impacted the turf. We acknowledge that it is not at its best right now, but please rest assured that we are actively working to improve it.

Our team is implementing necessary maintenance and updates to ensure that the course regains its quality and playability. We have re-seeded and are using alternative water sources to rectify the issues asap. We are committed to providing you with a great golfing experience, and we anticipate that improvements will be noticeable in the very near future.

To repay you for your loyalty and patience, we will be hosting a 4-person Scramble tournament including golf, food, and prizes to the first 144 golfers for $25 each in the month of January. Stay tuned for further details via email marketing, course website, and social media posts.

Thank you for your patience, and we look forward to welcoming you back to enjoy an enhanced course.

What did they improve?

They closed for 7 months for improvements, only to re-open and have my group say "what did they improve, course looks worse than before they closed". We got a $45 hot deal, so I can't complain too much, that's about what the course is worth right now.

Horrible condition

I keep playing this course from time to time , hoping it gets better . This time it was closed for months and when it reopened, we decided to try it again . Nothing changed , it's in horrible shape . Some bunkers have no sand , others do . Fairways on front 9 were ok at best , greens on front 9 were all painted and in horrible shape .

Back 9 was even worse . Fairways were not over-seeded and were brown . Greens were painted green to hide all the sand hidden underneath. Absolutely worst conditions I have seen in a while . All three of us said we would never play this course again and it is by no means worth over $80 . $20 would be my max .

Not as Expected

After being closed for around 6 months to repair and upgrade the course, it was disappointing to see how little the course conditions had improved. Fairways, greens and rough all had plenty of bare spots. Looks like something green colored was put on the greens to “cover” the bare spots.

Good price, greens rough

First time playing since course reopened. The staff has done a good job since taking over . Only issue was with greens which appear to have fungus and many are in very rough shape. Looking forward to seeing them get the issue fixed

Very surprised this is a Troon managed course. Only hole 18 looked like good playing conditions. The fairways and greens were in terrible shape on every other hole.

Hopefully better days ahead for the course

Foothills of course has recently went through a revamping since Troon took over. I’Since it’s a Troon course now I’m sure they will put the proper time, attention and money into the course to make it state of the art. Fairways and tees are in good shape. Greens have a ways to go. A few are not for whatever reason? Would recommend playing for $100 or less now through April or until conditions improve. Driving range and practice areas are tip top shape and brand new golf carts without GPS.

Terrible conditions from tee to green, especially the greens. A handful of greens have some infection that’s eaten a good portion of the green and is just dirt. No marshall pushing pace of play and finished at almost 5 hours

Still growing in

foothills was closed this summer for upgrades and has just recently opened. The fairways and a lot of the greens have grown in nicely. There were several greens with bad patches, most notably #13. The rough #14 is still growing in. Some sand traps were fluffy, some were rocky. I feel the conditions were accurately reflected in the price. I’m sure it will be getting better.
