Greens under repair

All 18 greens were under repair, rough with patches of dirt coloured green. No mention of this when booking the round or at check in. Very disappointing, no fun at all.

On the right track

We have played Foothills in the past - but were looking forward to playing since Troon took over. I will say the staff was awesome, the food was great too, the fairways were green and well groomed, but the greens left something to be desired. They were very splotchy and hard to play. The pace of play was also less than ideal and we didnt see any Marshalls out keeping things moving. We think Troon is on the right track to get the course to a prime establishment, just needs a bit more time and management.

Greens need more time

Overall the course is looking better after the work completed over the summer. The greens are rough and need more time.. Hopefully with the cooler weather they will be back in shape in a month or so.

Unplayable Greens

This course could be a gem, the layout and length makes it challenging, but the greens are more like hazards. They are in the worst shape I've ever played and on 50-60% on the greens you're trying to put over complete bare spots, so good luck with speed control or direction as your ball bumps, jumps and kicks size to size. TROON should be ashamed for charging normal rates.

So much potential….place is a dump

Been giving foothills a chance for a couple of years now. Was excited to play it after being closed for months. To invest 4 million into the course and have it still be a dump is incredible. The greens were the worst I’ve ever seen and disgraceful. See photos. They are well aware of it and is a shame. They should be paying people to play this course rather than charging 80+ dollars. They are saying it’s “city waters” fault which is what it is. Need to advertise that the course is in terrible condition. Won’t be back.

Green Trouble

Poor condition of greens and poor conditions of the fairways ruins an otherwise beautiful course. Love the layout but feel cheated by greens that were virtually unplayable. Staff was great everywhere.

Disappointed

Greens are in terrible condition with only about 50% of the green surface with any grass. Staff indicated greens were renovated last summer with drought and water issues impacting vegetation establishment. Over seed apparently failed also.

Have always enjoyed the layout and course condition has traditionally been very good. Hopefully course management will bring the course back over the next few months.

All great till…….

Initially, arriving the attendant outside when I was walking up, took my clubs and put them on a cart. Inside, checking in the staff inside was also great. Starter when I got down to the range area was great as well. Everything looked great, until I got to the course from the range area everything looked fine fairways look good, rough looked lush and thick, and the two greens I saw looked good. But I was warned about the greens even before I teed off, but I did not expect them to be this bad. He explained to me that they were having a problem with their well water and the high salt content. They redid all the greens, not too long ago, and I guess this well water completely destroyed them. They were almost unputtable. Basically, if I hit the green, it was an automatic two putt unless I had a chance at a birdie or an eagle. Hope they get that green situation fixed but until then I won’t be back. I mean, I appreciate the first attendant. I saw warning me about the greens, but they need to really lower their rates until they get it figured out. That was almost just too much to pay for even everything else looking good.

Sand Greens

Half the greens are awful and the other half are terrible. Other than that the course would be great.

Definitely will play again.

Staff - fabulous. Layout excellent. Greens recently sanded along with some parts of the fairways so conditions weren’t ideal (hence the lower rating on this question) but we worked on a 2-putt rule and everything went well.

We played a year ago, and will play again next time we are visiting the area.

It's just sad.

Terrible greens. Half of the greens are dirt with green paint on them. The other ones are a shaggy mess. Too bad this used to be a good course.
