Happy New Year to all the GK’ers! Have played The Foothills about 7 times in the past 2 weeks, starting December 19th. 2023, last round was January 1st, 2024. The course was bought last year or perhaps late 2022 and is now managed by Troon. The course is in pretty good shape in comparison to what it has been like in previous years. Greens are decent to good, fairways generally good, rough is mostly lush. Major improvements on the practice range. Downsides: Tee boxes are not level at all, on some you can’t find a level spot within one or two club lengths of the markers, secondly is the very poor condition of the bunkers, most have virtually no sand at all……I guess that makes them consistent!!! It is a very good layout/design. Current green fees are good value. The course is going to close in the summer to allow for a rebuild of all of the tee boxes, and hopefully refurbishing the bunkers. Rumour is some of the greens will be redone as well but couldn’t get confirmation of that. Pace of play was good, we teed off no later than 0940 on any day and were first out twice ( finished those round in 2 1/2 hrs.). Bev cart was around. Hopefully the refurbishment of the course brings it back to its former very high status.
