Met my wife on this course

First off want to say Troon has really improved this course from the last couple years of management. Greens are fully recovered with grass (which is huge if you’ve played here over the last couple years), fairways and rough are looking great too! They’ve even reseeded almost all the rough which it needed it. Now that being said I’ve played it twice since re opening and in that short time I’ve seen the areas that have already are starting to show problems…one is very few people fill divots on fairways( mostly bc cart path only and they lazily forget to bring sand bottles out to their approach shot with them) and par 3 tee boxes. They need to leave a bottle of sand on all the tee boxes but at least the par 3’s(maybe if multiple people mention this we can get this accomplished). The other issue I see is a “fairy ring fungus” that is more prevalent on the back nine, that needs to be addressed. Most people that I talk to don’t even know what it is but can be found through out the new grass. Hopefully everybody who reads this does their part and helps keep this course in great shape, its golfers duty too. If you haven’t tried Colin’s smash burger at the turn, he takes pride in his work and it’s better than most! Cheers

WOW!

I live in the area and have played this course in the past . . The last couple of times I have played it , I swore I would never play it again . Today we gave it our last and final shot and to our surprise, it was amazing . A complete 360 from what it use to be . The course is stunning, the fairways and greens were nearly perfect . The traps need just a little more sand but they were still very playable . I can not believe what they have done with this course . Everyone in our group said they wanted to come back and play it again . Great job to the staff and owners , they did an absolutely amazing job . We will definitely come back and play .

Troon nailed it

Been an Ahwatuke Foothills Golf Club customer for a long time and it's always been a good competitive course but partnering with troon and came in and with the recent problems they had with the remodel last year and they had to shut down and do it all over again they've done a great job

Go play before they close for the summer

The best deal in the valley for the price. 2 greens are closed however the temps are sufficient. Definitely want the cost!

This course is terrific

Had an amazing time on this course. It was prefaced that there was issues on 2 of the holes due to the greens not turning out how they expected. Yes there was issues on that hole but did not disrupt the fun I had on this course. The course did offer range balls to compensate for the defects on those two holes and it was more than enough. Extremely friendly staff offered to grab my golf bag and load it in the cart for me as well as drive out a bratwurst I ordered to wherever I was on the course. The course layout was gorgeous and would highly recommend playing here.

Great course!

They had little trouble with a couple of greens so there are two temporary greens but the rest of the course is in awesome shape, and they have made up for the inconvenience by pricing the course accordingly. You won’t find better value in the valley!

Decent Value?

Course conditions just OK ! Considering we are into May and the fact that there are two temporary greens I suggest the Foothills should be offering better rates at this time.

Great deal while I was in town.

Overall had a great time. I was a little disappointed to see such a nice course have such crappy rental options. I was in town for 24 options. I do a lot of short time traveling where I try to get a tee time in, and most other courses keep their rental options up to date and make sure you get the best bang out of your buck. Not this course. The rental bag should have everything you need to fix divots, balls, tees, brushes.

Wow what a fun day!

First time here and we loved it. Fairways were wide and very green. Two. Of the greens are temporary but ok and that is why the discount price. Really friendly staff and the food at the grill was excellent. I would recommend it to everyone.
