Fun and challenging course, especially for an (old) beginner like myself with a weaker arm. This course requires a variety of shots. Elevation changes throughout - you'll get a good workout walking the "foothills". Holes are mostly wooded though there are a couple open ones. In the low areas, there are some OB creek/swampy places to be aware of. You can definitely lose discs here. It will be wet in the lower places after big rains - some maintenance on the paths is needed for those areas.

This is a fun and challenging course. I would love to see JB Owens take as good of care of this course as they do the rest of their spectacular complex. Signs are missing, wooden bridges and benches a ... show more ›

This is a fun and challenging course. I would love to see JB Owens take as good of care of this course as they do the rest of their spectacular complex. Signs are missing, wooden bridges and benches are decaying and collapsing, course markers are missing and the staff inside the complex has very little to no knowledge of the course. I find this odd, seeing as how the course is on thier property and looks to have maybe a little upkeep to it, ie. trash picked up. But other than that it is a fun and challenging course.

Cons: -Undergrowth is getting a bit thick.
-Some tee signs missing.
Other Thoughts: I just moved to the area and have been craving a good 18 hole course with some challenge and a little length. I found it at Foothills for the first time since moving here.

I loved the wooded holes which were trimmed very well, and provided clear paths that were intended. The undergrowth from time to time was a bit thick, but overall, the course was in great shape.

Most holes had tee signs that were accurate as far as I could tell. They made judging the shot much easier (especially with the elevation changes.

I think my favorite hole was the downhill island hole on the high voltage power line. That was a fun straight/slightly anhyzer backhand for me. I wish I had been able to throw from the normal tee on the 800 foot hole, but football practice prevented this. We had to play from the alternate tee pad for safety. (I still say the kids had helmets on, and it would have been OK to drive over them....just kidding).

Overall, I really liked the course and definitely look forward to playing it again. The rating right now is held back by the undergrowth condition. If this was corrected, it would move up quite a bit in my mind. I will keep an eye on it and adjust the rating accordingly. I hope there are more around that are as good or better than this one.

I enjoyed this course a great deal and play it whenever I am in the area. Has a good mix of terrain changes, open and wooded as well. It seems to stay a little wet in the wooded areas and there is a kinda funky creek that is in play on a couple holes.
The only hole I had trouble finding was the big bomb over the soccer fields.
