Foothills Golf Club

This course has been in really good shape, until now. Lots of dead grass in fairways and sand traps are hard and not well-maintained.

Played in less than 4hrs. I think it was a little overpriced for the condition it’s in although the greens are on the firm side, healthy and roll good. Sand isn’t maintained well and nobody seems to rake them after playing out of them. A lot of dry spots on the fairway but turf still reacts fine to hit off of for the most part. Not real pretty.

As a 25 year Foothills resident, I’d like nothing more than to have a stellar course anchoring our community. My review begins with the greens keeping/ agronomy staff. They should all be fired. Hole 1 and 14- a member of the crew was circling the lake with his extended ball retriever, finding balls in the lakes. EVERY trap on the course - and I was looking- had old footprints that looked days or weeks old. Traps hadn’t been maintained at all. The fairways are burned out, and witnessing what I did, it’s not due to the heat, it’s due to incompetence. I hope their GM reads this and rides the course him/herself and witnesses the mess that they’ve created. Very sad and disappointing to see the course in this condition.

Showed up for tee time, course was empty and then found out why. Fairways got plugged and cored that morning and the course refused to mention that or offer any discount. Hard to imagine they let players go out with the course in that condition and not provide any disclaimer. Disconnect between clubhouse and starter for range balls. Not sure why they even charge especially when they pass the buck on who is supposed to provide them to you. Scorched conditions in March are unacceptable. Not sure this place makes it through June with the heat.

Driving into the parking lot, one could see that the nearest fairways were not in prime shape, with large burnt areas visible. The gentleman at the counter seemed oblivious to my questions regarding the course conditions. The tees were needed leveling and some TLC. The fairways were hard, with sparse grass conditions on numerous holes. The sand traps were in generally good condition (for those that I personally experienced). Greens, for the most part, were extremely hard (needing water) and difficult to keep the ball from rolling excessively once landed, along with uneven surfaces which caused long putts to bounce. Pace was great for the front 9, but was noticeable slower for the back 9. Value was about parr for the poor conditions. Unless you get a good deal and understand the current playing conditions, I would recommend you consider a different course, at least until such time as The Foothills management restores this course to its former glory.

No reason to play this course, played 9 holes and left, terrible condition and a bad experience

Played the course a few yrs ago and it was beautiful, very green and lush, layout of course is fun with hills and few water holes which you don’t get a lot of in Arizona. Couple of the greens were in bad shape, fairways burned off.

With it still peak season you’d expect it to be better. Hopefully it comes good because it’s a great course for the price.

We had played Foothills Golf Club a few years back and had enjoyed the experience. This time however was completely different. The fairways were baked and the greens were bumpy and not in good condition. Overall the course while certainly a nice layout was not well groomed. We used Golf Now and were happy to save a little money on the green fee but we felt we were upcharged on the price for our bucket of balls. $16 for 80 balls. Ridiculous!!!

After hearing so much talk and social media about the Foothills being back and in amazing condition, we decided to book a tee time on Sunday afternoon. Pulling into the parking lot, you could see that the fairways on the holes visible were bare / yellow throughout. Not a good sign. $108 for 2:00pm in the afternoon still a little stiff. When asked about the course conditions, the front desk attended stated that since Phoenix did not have a frost this winter, the rye did not have a chance. Hmm. Not a good sign of confidence nor a direct response to the question. Nuff, said; the course had many bare spots on the fairways, dying grass, and the greens were hard as concrete. As a local, I support our courses, but will not be back to this one until the conditions continue to improve.

Course was in great shape except for the greens . Greens were very bouncy and didn’t roll smooth . Every bounce changed the direction and speed of ball . Could not make a putt do save my life . Some green were fast and some were slow . Layout of course was decent with many variation of shots needed . If green rolled better , it would have been a more enjoyable experience . Overall , one should play steady once .

course has i teresting holes. Great views. condition is nice except bunkers were not well prepared for daily play.

I would play here again

Course is in decent shape. Greens are very hard but they roll true. Fairways have some spotty areas, tee boxes are in good shape.

Course layout was fun, maybe have a ranger on course to help push people along. Overall nice.

Course looks like it hasn't seen water in awhile, very dry, cracks in the unseeded areas. The greens are like cement and impossible for an amateur golfer to hold.

Very disappointing. I get that its been a very hot spring with no rain but we have golfed several other courses that are not taking the beating this one is.

Easy access to water on every par 3, there are some rough spots that need a little extra care. Besides the fact there is no beverage cart (not a big deal) the course is amazing. Beautiful greens rolling real fast. I highly recommend not missing a fairway! Pace was great, not a lot of wait times as a two man behind multiple 4s
