I love this course. I don't live anywhere Foothills G.C. but try to play this course 2-3 times a year. The course is always in good condition and it is just plain fun to play.

Well foothills is a great course offering an 18-hole championship course, 9-hole executive course, and 9-hole par 3 course. The championship course plays much tougher than you might imagine at first glance. Conditions are usually very good.

Pretty Good

Driving range, putting, chipping greens all excellent.

Foothills also has a Par 31 Executive course and a par 3 course. The practice facillities at Foothills are outstanding. The driving range is huge, the grass is good, and all of the practive facillities are lighted so they stay open until 10pm. Green fees are a relatively cheap at $24 (I think it goes as low as $14 for offpeak Junior/Senior residents.

There are some holes that are pretty easy (1,2,8,9,17). Due to the popularity of the course, getting a good tee-time is pretty hard. Not enough high risk/high reward shot oportunities.

This year, Foothills has got a lot of rain, because of this the course is in excellent shape and the native rough is tall and thick. At first glance, Foothills looks like an easy course. It has some wide fairways, and there are not as many trees as you find on some other courses. However, looks are decieving. The trees and hazards are positioned very well. The native rough is abundant and unforgiving. Foothills has a few extremely demanding holes. Hole 3 is long (440Y), uphill, has an off-center tee box, a sloped fairway, trees just outside the fairway on both sides, native outside the trees, and OB on the left. The approach is uphill, a larger bunker wraps around the green short-right, and another gaurds the green long left. There is native grass long, left and right of the green. Because of the slope of a large hill that the hole is built on, putting can be difficult as well. Hole 6 and 18 are also noteworthy for their originality and challange. The greens at Foothills are a little slow, but playable. The rough is a little longer and thicker than average, and the fairways are almost always thick and plush.

Restaurant is ok. It has a balcony with tables that overlooks 9 and 18. The pro-shop is pretty good. It has tons of clothes, but not many clubs. The teaching staff at Foothills is outstanding. Jeff Freebury is excellent with beginners, Jim Hajek and Dave Fisher are good all-around are good all around, Sarah Johnson is really good at fine tuning good swings (5 handicap and lower), Dave Barbosa is outstanding for intermediate and advanced players, and Shannan Hanley is a short game guru.

Course conditions, reasonable rates

hard to get a tee time!

Course conditions are usually excellent, despite the amount of play at one of Denver's most popular courses. Don't let the open fairways fool you - this course plays tougher than it looks, but every hole is fair. (Well, except maybe the new 4th!) Most tees are flat, the greens are good to very good, the fairways are well kept, and the primary rough is thick.

In more than ten years, I've never had a negative experience.
