I've played Foothills a couple of times. Not bad at all for the price. The Foothills has some decent scenery, and it's been in decent shape both times I played. The layout is nice, with water coming into play on three or four holes. For the price, it's much better than comparable courses in the East Valley. You can usually get a spring twilight round or a summer round for a very reasonable rate (~$30?).
The practice facilities aren't the greatest. The layout is kind of confusing. The course isn't particularly difficult, although I want to murder the 17th green. Those bunkers are going to get it next time.
