Foothills Golf Club

About Foothills Golf Club

You'll find this Phoenix municipal track tucked into the foothills terrain that gives it its name, offering legitimate elevation changes and natural desert character that most Valley public courses can only dream of. The routing takes advantage of the rolling topography without being gimmicky, and you'll actually use different clubs on approach shots due to uphill and downhill lies rather than just swinging the same iron into every flat green. The condition punches well above its weight class for a muni, with surprisingly good greens that hold approach shots and fairways that aren't the typical hardpan you'd expect. At this price point, you're getting honest golf without the resort markup or pretentious atmosphere that plagues much of Scottsdale. The 4.0 Google rating from over 500 reviews tells you everything – it's solid, playable golf that locals keep coming back to because it delivers value without cutting corners where it matters. Walking is encouraged here, which speaks to both the manageable distances between holes and the course's understanding that golf should be accessible rather than a cart-mandatory revenue grab.
