Golfer Reviews
Friendly staff
First time here and the staff was friendly and gave great service. The course was in okay condition. The carts are pretty nice, came stocked with washcloths, cooler with ice, and tees.
Fairways were dry, bare spots thru out and some spots were muddy. They fixed the greens but neglected the fairways
Thanks for your feedback. Yes, it is transition time. And with the hot weather in March it started earlier than normal. As everyone knows, water quality in the valley is always a challenge. To combat this our owner has committed even more capital to augment our irrigation system. We will be installing a new fertigation system that will drastically reduce salt content, add oxygen and nutrients to the soil. We will be treating the fairways and roughs starting Monday and improvements happen quickly with this system. Now for the greens, since they are brand new and were not overseeded, they are looking great and the new bermuda is healthy. There are a few rough patches on the collars of 3 of the greens but everything else is great. Is everything perfect? We could always be better and with a committed ownership group we will get there. It takes time to bring back a neglected course but rest assured we will get there. Thanks for your time.

disappointed
Been playing for years. First time back since the renovations and I should get my moneyback. Fairways could not have been worse. Never going back.

Poor Conditions
Every fairway was dried out but the greens were in pretty good shape.

Not in good shape
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.

Meh
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.

Disappointed
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.
Wish they had disclaimers
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.
Not in the Best Condition
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.
Room for improvement
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.
Disappointed
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!!!
Foothills reborn
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.
