Foothills Golf Course - Championship 18 Course

Pace of play is a big issue at Foothills Golf Course. Having a ranger being untruthful and the rangers doing nothing to improve the pace of play issue – made the situation even worse. When we reached the 4th tee, there was a huge backup. The ranger said this is because the pin was on the upper tier and the players were struggling putting the ball up the tier. He also said there was a Men’s League tournament in front of us and we will only have a backup on this hole. Man, he could not have been more wrong. We waited on every hole, every shot - the remainder of the round. It was nearly a 5-hour round.

This was the first time playing the Foothill Championship Course. The first thing you notice is huge, beautiful clubhouse. With such high ceilings, you could think this is a church instead of a clubhouse. The course was built in 1971. It is flat, with trees planted down each side of the fairways and the greens are round in shape. The greens were in good shape, on the fast side and tricky to read. The fairways are good also. Needed more sand in the greenside bunkers.

You will see prairie dogs near some of the holes. We also saw a coyote walking down the middle of the 2nd fairway.

There were some poorly designed holes which contributed to the slow play. You have a difficult time determining if it is clear to hit. Trees blocking views, hills, etc. Holes 6, 15 & 18 come to mind. I think 18 is a poorly designed hole. Have to clear 2 bunkers, with water on the backside on your tee shot. The shortest tees are 5,362 yards. They need to add another tee box around 5,000 yards for women and shorter hitters.

If you enjoy the older golf course architecture – Foothills is the course for you. However, I cannot recommend this course with rangers not giving you accurate information and not doing anything to improve the pace of play. Unacceptable!

The course has not changed which is good. The new clubhouse is now open, great to see and very nice! Definitely more of a club feel which is cool but at the same time the feel of the old one still lingers in my mind. Food and staff are great, one thing, the Philly cheese steak, not bad but if if your expecting a Philly don't order it. Though a good sandwich l, it is far from a Philly on so many levels. Again staff as always us amazing.

No Marshall in the course and our foursome has to wait every shot. And one of our foursome was a lady just learning so she was slower than normal. It was a grioup a couple ahead of us.

Frustrating

Foothills is my go-to course for a quick round in town. Great availability, and friendly staff. Can’t wait to see the new clubhouse once it’s done!

Beautiful 82 degree day and the course was in good condition. Had a very pleasant experience.

The day was perfect and the course conditions were great. Fairly busy but decent pace. The parking lot was a little crowded and check in was on temporary trailer. They are building a new clubhouse which appears to be very large and very nice looking. Looking forward to coming back.

Great views of the mountains, trees and bushes changing colors for the season and birdies to be had everywhere!

I wish players would fix ball marks... the rule and common sense is fix yours plus one or fix two on every green :)!

Cheers!

Visiting from out of town , called several times in regard to rental clubs and was told should not be an issue. Well it was an issue, no clubs available except for one set of women’s clubs that I shared with my son. The pace of play was absolutely painful. Every tee box had three groups … nobody came by to move groups along. I watched on multiple occasions the groups in front take two and three tee shots each and not a single staff member helping to move things along. Gave up after 12 holes and called it a day.

Foothills is closer to my home, somewhat challenging course and in good condition. Staff is always super friendly. Next year there will be a new clubhouse and restaurant.

Finally... I reached all Par-5 holes in two, putting for eagle on each. Didn't make any of them but I'll take tap in birdies any day! Greens are in better shape compared to last month and the construction on the new clubhouse is coming along nicely.

With the Fall colors ramping up, this is definitely one of the key courses to play your late season golf at, along with the Meadows. Cheers!

Tried to modify to 3 players through golf now app and app would not let me and course said it had to be done through app since it was prepaid.

Get to the course and they wanted another $22 per person for half a cart. Ridiculous for a Foothills Park and Rec course.
