Course is slowly getting better

Love the layout but unfortunately the greens are very slow and bumpy at this time.

Beautiful Day

My major criticism is it iscart path only on hole 18, this is a long, ver my wide hole, Thus the slow down there can back the course up 4-5 holes. Greens were fuzzy.

Don’t understand some of complaints course was pure staff was great!

Don’t have any complaints staff treated us very well. Course was pure. I got a hot deal decided to check it out. I thought maybe it was iffy because of how good deal was and I was surely wrong. Well manicured tee to green. Greens alittle spongy but you can attack pins all day. I’ll be adding foothills in the rotation great layout as well and views. Kinda of gives me a lookout mountain vibe if you’ve ever played that course. Definitely worth a play

Spongy Greens

Some of the greens were very spongy and slow, Others were harder and faster. Some were a mixture of both. I do like what Troon has done with course and tees and fairways were excellent,

Beautiful course...

This was my first time playing The Foothills Golf Club. The staff was friendly and was at awe about how well manicured the course was, I'm not a good player but this course is manageable (if you hit it correctly) and I feel was forgiving for my slight slice (or fade).

I was a single player and was paired with a nice gentleman who was a scratch player and his girlfriend. You need to look out for this guy if and when he turns pro. I forgot his name I think it was TJ or JT?

Anyway, play this course, you will not be disappointed!

Where's the water?

Course is in great shape.

Every water cooler on course was empty..

No excuse for that in Phoenix when temperatures were in the 90"s.

Poor, poor, poor customer service

Got sick and the flu so tried cancelling. Talked to 3 different people and was on hold for an hour and a half, the first said it was fine and thanks for calling, the second then said we can’t cancel, that we would need to reschedule or else would get charge. Completely understand that and that’s okay, however as we were doing that process, a third person jumped in and said that even if we cancel, if the tee time isn’t picked up by someone else we would be charged. Absolutely wild customer service. Never seen a course so crazy to make a buck. I know troon took over but I’ve never seen such poor customer service from a troon course.

Joke management

Been playing here 15 years...course has ebbed and flowed but nice shape now except for greens. Tolerable except the staff doesn't understand customer service. I trade my money for a good time playing golf with some expectations that other courses understand. Today my issue is ZERO water in the hydration cans....no cart girl...and shack at the turn closed up well before it should be. Just unpleasant to have a decent course but no regard for the guest. Disappointing owners think that's ok.

Pace of Play

Our tee time was 10 minutes late because the course was "backed up." When I tee'd off, the starter, Jay, guaranteed that we would be back at the turn to see him at 2 hours on the dot. He assured me the pace of play wouldn't be a problem and that someone was out there enforcing pace. I saw him at the turn after 2.5 hours and he had nothing to say to me. He went and walked as far as away as possible from the turn to avoid speaking with us. After another 2.5 hours, I was finally able to finish a round at this course. There's no reason I should get stuck behind extremely drunk individuals yelling on a golf course taking 2-3 balls off the tee and the marshall (if there even was one out there) not doing anything about it. Absolutely terrible experience.

Great course, slow 18th

Everything about this course is great, except for the CPO 18th hole. There was 3 groups ahead of us and it took us a long time to finish the round

Foothills Fun

Greens and fairways in great shape. Rough is kinda bare dirt and weeds in many spots. Staff very friendly. Great beverage choices. Coolers with ice provided on carts along with small cloths. No USB ports or club washers on cart.

Overall, a great experience. We will be back.
