After graduating from college, Foster worked as a golf course construction project manager for Wadsworth Golf Course Construction Company for five years.

In 1991, Foster established his own design firm and since then has completed eight highly regarded golf courses, including: SunRidge Canyon Golf Club, Eaglewood Golf Course for the City of North Salt Lake City, Utah and The Quarry Golf Course in San Antonio, Texas. The Quarry Golf Course was ranked fourth in Texas by Golf Digest (May '95) and second in Texas by GolfWeek (May '95).
