EXTREMELY SLOW PACE OF PLAY

You guys have to do something about pace of play. Either schedule accordingly or have a marshal out there.

We couldn’t finish and only made it through 13 holes because it was taking wasaaaay to long.

Please speed ip the pace.

Ready golf

Obviously, course personnel have no idea about the customer’s golf acumen. So, the rangers need to be more proactive in addressing pace of play, etiquette, and golfer behavior. Even when a group’s round takes the typical 4:10 - 4:20 hrs, it can be frustrating for a faster group that is not invited to play through.

We played this our first day. The first seven greens just got plugged but the course was still immaculate. Definitely on the list to play again.

Good value, no March gouging

Played here a couple of years ago and was a must play on this trip. Nice that a course doesn't take advantage of the time of year and raise their prices to outrageous amounts. Pace of play was slow and no one refilled the water coolers for our 1:09 tee time but I will definitely be coming back.

Poor conditions

Unfortunately, the greens are in terrible condition. Extremely bumpy and slow . Sand traps are not well maintained and trying to find a level spot to tee off from is impossible.

Foothills has the layout and scenery to be a very good course but the conditions for the price paid doesn’t justify us coming back.

2nd time here

We played from the blue tees. The course was in great shape. Well manicured fairways and first cut. Greens were firm and fast. Nice layout with a good amount of bunkers with nice sand. . Carts were comfy with GPS. Nice wide fairways. First place I've been to that brought your food out to you on the course after ordering at the turn. Great burger BTW. Great course for a good price. We'll definitely be back .
