The Foothills Golf Club

Description:

• This is a very scenic course. Basically a desert landscape, and set up against South Mountain, it stretches out to almost 7000 yards from the tips. Always in great condition, a good score here is one that is well deserved. The fairways are narrow, with a cut of rough and then desert ready to snatch any off line shots. The greens vary in size, but most are well bunkered and some are elevated. The slopes are not that extreme on the greens, but the speed brings out the need to be careful out there. In addition, there are two well-placed lakes that add difficulty to three different holes. #8 is a reachable par five. However, the more you bite off from the dogleg, the closer the out of bounds comes in on the right. This is a definite risk/reward situation.
