Foothills has really stepped up its game

With Troon taking over management of Desert Foothills, one can expect a much better playing experience than ever before. The greens are a bit slow and hard to hold but fairways are green and nicely manicured. Time of play for 18 holes was 4:15. Value was good as the cost was $120 which is about average for an above average experience. Staffing was friendly and helpful.

Good course for the price of money

I don’t want to rank this course too high because they’ll start charging a premium when people start demanding to play it more

Not what I expected from a troon course

The course is in somewhat better condition from last year and much better than years prior. Carts now have GPS don't remember that from last year. Greens are slow due to them being new also won't hold a shot as they are still hard. fairways and tees were in good condition. Again, its the non-course stuff that's an issue. The starter was friendly enough but failed to tell us there was no cart girl on the course (after round manager said there was, but she was invisible to our foursome for the entire round. At the turn couldn't buy anything guy said computer was down, didn't even offer a bottle of water and it was a hot day. Again manager after said there was water on the course but we didn't see any. Not at restrooms. Need to make them more prominent or have starter advise where they are, Cart attendant was good at his job and friendly. Last suggestion. I played with a lady who was a good golfer, but she didn't stand a chance at make par most of the time with the length of the forward tees (over 5K yards). Probably get more JR, Ladies and Seniors if there were some shorter tees, maybe 46 to 48 yds. Just a thought. Love this course but...

Foothills is so back

Course is in very good shape since the renovation. This track is a hidden gem. The only thing you can complain about are the firmness of the greens. They just got done renovating them so they are quite hard BUT they roll very true. For the value this course offers, I’d play it every week.

Loosing it's luster and playability

Every green is rock hard and some are beginning to show signs of fungus. Price is going up while the overall playability is decreasing.

Fabulous golf course with hillside setting

Besides being in top course condition, Foothills was a real hidden gem, easy enough to get to along the 101 and 202 freeways fairly direct from Scottsdale in about 30 minutes. They had live music at happy hour on the Friday I played, and it was rocking! A great time was had by all, and the staff was so friendly and gracious.
