Hi, silverbell. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Foster Golf Links.
Brutally slow and far too compact
I realize that having a golf course in a heavily populated metropolitan area is often a tall task but these holes are virtually on top of each other. Not to mention the holes themselves are painfully short. The only par 5 is 420 yds and there were at least five par 4s at or near 300 yds - another hole was a 230 yard par 4. Might as well bring your 3 iron, 7 iron, gap wedge, and putter and save yourself the weight.
It would be great if a Ranger would come around and actually address the pace of play issues that I saw.
I will say that the course is in really nice condition especially for the lack of rain we’ve had. The greens were the star of the course. They were very well groomed and I didn’t see a single one that had signs of getting burned.
Hi, naquino! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Foster Golf Links!
Crowded
I liked the course. Layout was good, but holes seemed somewhat narrow because of golfers coming into fairway from both sides. Often had golfers from four different groups on one hole. Pace of play was slow because of a tournament ahead of us.

Waste of money.
Took 2 hours to get to hole 5. Marshall doesn’t do anything. Come to this place if you want a circus and to get frustrated.
Hello, u314159420634. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.

Foster is Fun
Great shorter course with tremendous green conditions. Every green is the same speed, all roll well, some have really a lot of undulations, while others are flat. Pace of play was slower than I would like - but the layout with a drivable par four 8th followed by a short par three ninth tends to do that. Back nine pace is always better. No range, but I like the hitting stalls just beyond the first tee so at least you can swing some and get loose. Then it looks EASY on the card to start, but dont be fooled: The 300-320 yard parallel par fours #1-4 are good holes, require a straight tee shot and an accurate approach or you can be staring at crooked numbers on a low rated course. #6 is a monster of a par four with 2 really good shots needed to sniff par. The back is more fun with reachable par fives, 2 par threes over the river and two more drivable par fours - each with their own set of issues - a large willow tree guarding the front of 14 and a 90 degree dog leg giving 15 all you can handle. #17 is another monster PAr 3 before a pretty trickly short 18th. I have always enjoyed my yearly round at Foster - This year for the first time in many, there was an horrific odor down by the river that can only be described as fertilizer gone bad - or hot vomit. It was gross and freaked out my 11 year son playing partner. It is the only thing I can say bad about the place. Only really felt it on 4 tee, 6 green, 12 tee. But man - it stunk.

Foster greens were great
Shot my top three score and Mike shot his best score - fairways were dry in places adding to ball roll - greens in great shape (fix your divots people)

Potential is there!!!
Even though this course is not a long layout, the challenge is there for all golfers. The potential is definitely there for this course with a little more care. Course was beyond dry as you were always hitting off very little, if any grass at all. Would consider playing this course again if conditions of play increased.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
