Foothills Golf Course - Championship 18 Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The Championship 18 Course at Foothills Golf Course is one of three courses at the Foothills facility, but it is the only 18-hole course of the three. Built in 1971, Dick Phelps designed the course. The public course is 6,908 yards at its championship tees. Although the course is relatively flat, there are some hills that cause uneven lies. The course features other difficulties as well. Pretty lakes and creeks create water hazards that come into play on some holes. The greens are bent grass while the fairways are covered in Bermuda grass. There is also a putting green and on-site teaching pro to help golfers with their game.

Foothills GC
Couse conditions were up to standard for this time of year. The forgiving nature of the course was very welcome at this time of the year given the marginal weather conditions. We enjoyed our round.
Needs TLC
The greens are not looking good and there is a lot of dying grass around.
Solid layout
Foothills is one of the most underrated public courses in the Denver metro area. For the amount of rounds this course gets, it is always in good condition. In addition, the course is challenging yet extremely playable with a variety of fun holes.
Ok
Course is super dry and I’m worried about them
Losing greens
Windy Bear
Thought the course was in above average conditions given our early spring tee time in the foothills of the Rockies. Greens were smooth and rolled true even if not fully filled out yet. Fairways were good to great, short grass like you would expect at the beginning of the season. Great bounces and rolls for those short drivers.
Our round was quite entertaining due to the wind. A good steady 30-50 mph west to east. Required up clubbing a good 30-40 yards. Side to side shots were downright comical given how much they moved. Overall, a really fun round. Made us have to play outside of the norms. Fun experience!
Fun but golf now doesn’t honor slow play rain checks
Played w a very talkative single, stuck behind some slow foursomes.. couldn’t get a rain check
Good, windy day with lots of open spaces to play
The forecast was for 20-30 mph winds. Mother Nature didn't disappoint. It was chilly starting at 40F. A good ski hat, wind shell, and double gloves made for a comfortable temperature. The winds made some drives go 165y and some 3 woods go 300y. Putting was actually affected by the winds, especially downhillers. The grass is greening up nicely. The lack of crowds made for a relaxing day. Overall, if you can tolerate the wind, the course feels almost like your own private playground.
Review
Course was in good condition for this time of the year!
If there are no carts please post it everywhere you sell a tee time
Course was fantastic conditions were great staff was great next time let me know there's no carts allowed.
Love the course!
It was in great shape for playing in late December. The practice facility is nice and the layout is pretty fun. Besides the wind whipping everything like crazy (someone in our group hit a 410 yard drive) our group had a great time. Will definitely play the course again and can't wait to see it in the summer.
Excellent
Golf in Denver on Dec 1st in 70 degree weather is amazing enough; add very good course conditions and friendly people and you have a golf-gasm. Foothills is becoming my favorite local course.
