Played today from 1:30 to 5:30(4hr POP)...it felt longer only because the days are gettin shorter and you watch the sun going down. Needed a tune up round and General Old fits the bill. The greens are pretty good, soft and receptive to shots, rolling medium speed, and no evidence of aeration. The kikuyu surrounding the greens is lush and we'll manicured, but I still had my own issues with chipping from it today(I need to practice). The bunkers are void of sand and dense with the ball sitting up. The fairways are good. Rough, there is no cut of rough, it just quickly transitions to hard riverside scrub, and you don't want to be there. Tee boxes are not too level, but they are green and wide. Wanted the challenge of keeping ball in fairways(always) and short game on kikuyu to small greens. Got what I was asking for. Green fees are affordable.

7:30 tee off in great weather. Played blue tees and enjoyed the round and fellow players. Course is under construction in the clubhouse, pro shop is temporarily in the pool table room and bar is closed. Used the underpar voucher for green fees of only $25 per golfer. We finished in 4 hours POP. Tees were marked really tight at only about 6 feet between markers...mostly level. Fairways good to hit from and in good late summer shape overall. Rough is well maintained and good to hit from. Traps had good sand and the ball sits up. Greens were slower than expected and soft, not cut tight and in surprisingly good shape due to fellow golfers. No drink cart today. They are doing well head work and water distribution work...the areas are marked off by traffic cones, however this never affected play.

Played from the whites on Sunday 6/18 at 8:30 with Ray, Jim & Vic. Really nice weather and nice course conditions. Vic shot his personal best with a well performing driver and putter. Good customer service, starter and marshall kept the pace of play at 4.5 hours, even though we were patron'd by Stormy with the drink cart 3 times. The course is more lush and being well watered. Tees were a bit chewed but in good shape. Fairways provided good lies and some mixed bag of turf types as you near the rough. Rough was long today, nearing penal, but more in the challenging category. Traps were in good shape with nice sand. Greens were very receptive and rolled smooth at a med to fast speed. All four of us found the green on 16 by reading the breeze correctly...alas, no birdies but lots of fun for each attempt.
Good value, even Ray from the OC mentioned this often that day.

Played Friday afternoon 4/28 in 4.5 POP from the III tees. We were a walking foursome, following a twosome and only had to wait two times(once on #4 due to the drink cart, and once on #17...mainly because there were serious drivers in our group). Don't bother asking for a serious discount on bud light from the drink cart, cause they're not selling it...hmmm.
What a wonderful value...the course is in top shelf shape and the weather this time of year is too. The greens have completely healed from this spring's aeration, roll smooth, they're firm underfoot, but certainly show ball marks from approaches of more than 100 yards(be kind and fix all ball marks). Well struck long iron approaches were showing about a 50/50 expected holding pattern, otherwise, they hold shots well. The entire course is lush, the warm season grasses are really thriving, and all turf is manicured to more competitive levels. Traps are superb, fairways fantastic, rough is competitive(just shy of penal) & tee boxes are terrific. Now is a great time to get ya some goose, highly recommended.

Played Friday, 3/31 at 1pm with co-workers at a 4.5 hour steady POP. They started us on hole 10, interesting to start that way. We played our skins round from the whites as we heard the rough was penal from recent reviews. Happy to report that the rough was mowed to a more friendly yet mindful length.
The tees were pretty chewed, even on par 4 & 5s, but there are many with a bottle of mix available for use...maybe some players were donating their cart bottles? You could search and find level lies, but the trend lends that it'd be wise if we all would look after these tees.
Fairways are in good shape, on the lush side and taking good root. They should fare pretty healthy this season.
Rough is in decent shape, a very mixed bag of types, and gets more patchy, and drier as distance from fairways increases. Be observant of this early in your round for better shot planning. There were a few times I either should have, or did club down in loft, to ensure a better out.
Greens were firm and both slow & medium speed. They were not cut tight and visually laid over, most of them toward the downhill direction. Likely these will get aerated soon. They did hold approaches well, but firm to ball marks and the tool to fix them with.
No driving range. The Marshall was on duty on both nines. We saw the drink cart three times, and the cantina closes by 5. The pro shop allowed me to buy the post round libations at 5:30 since I won the Vets CTP fundraiser on hole 16, good customer service. RSD isn't long and doesn't have a high slope, but, if your game is off and you don't intervene to save it, this Dye course can be pretty unforgiving. It's all fun...and recommended.

Played here 12/2 1pm, and finishing in nearly dark with 4hr POP. Played the III tees (71/69.4/122 6150yds)with friends Ceci, Gil & Larry. Can't make this weekend's GK event, as I have my own birthday party to attend, so off to the Goose for MGF.
Staff and services are all friendly and in tip top shape. I love the practice facilities here. Tees were in good shape. Fairways in excellent shape. Rough was trim and lush. Traps are excellent with brilliant white top sand. Greens were good, you can still see healing from aeration, but they are cut tight and roll smooth, no issue. They were firm and running med-fast...be mindful of down hill putts. We encountered the refreshment cart three times. The pace was steady no real waiting at all. The wildlife were very active, by sight, sound, or both. Finishing 18, in low light, is a whole 'nother experience!
Goose Creek is a high value venue, recommended.

Played a match today from the white tees with Kviser, and joining us were Jessie and Scott. My first time here, and I really enjoyed it. The check-in and Marshall were courteous and friendly. The tees were a little spotty on coverage, but I was always able to sort it out. The fairways were in good shape for such a dry summer, and the first cuts of rough were very playable too. Approach aprons were all mowed tight and quite helpful. The traps were packed and damp, and you had to pick it clean for egress. The greens were pretty fast in the morning, and steadily slowed as the round concluded. They were very soft underfoot, in fact, my pin high approach shot from 120 out on #8, was a fried egg on the green! There were many greens where the kikuyu fringes are trying to encroach. This is a kikuyu dominant track and not a push over. We saw the drink cart twice and plenty of wildlife. We had great golf weather and playing partners. Recommended.

Played the blues(72/71.0/123) today with Nickesquire, Dave of Chino and Bruce of Upland. We had clear skies and no wind. The range has raised the grass strip, and the mats strip is still at original elevation...well, the driver and 3W off the mats will impact the raised strip just 4-5 feet in front of you! I don't get it.
The tees have good coverage, aren't chewed and are level.
The fairways are healthy with good coverage and roll.
The rough is healthy and a factor for hitting from. The farther you are from the greens and fairways the deeper it is mowed.
The traps are way more dense and less groomed in fairways, than near greens.
The greens were holding most shots, rolled medium speeds, and were semi-soft underfoot.
Sierra Lakes is in good shape and I would return.

Played here 7/16 for a 10:35 match with SR714. Very warm day, and a slight breeze. The place was busy, or it felt that way. There are 3 practice greens and the very busy range has mats. We were saddled up to our carts and sent to see the starter, who informed us that he's not sure if he will send us to the north course, instead of our reserved south course. Either way, we had to be on standby for 20 minutes at the starter's booth, before being let on to our reserved course. POP was slow, the entire round, 5.5 hours.
The white tees were level, but are drying out and becoming patchy. They were pretty chewed on par 3's.
The fairways are kikuyu and have fair average coverage. Mostly mowed down tight and playable, but still plenty of areas where it's patchy and dryer coverage. I quickly resorted to sweeping for dryer kikuyu conditions.
The rough was very patchy, differing depths(rarely deep) and turf health, so you never did know what lie you might find...best to avoid it.
Traps were denser, and still with a damp crust. I had no issues making a denser textbook sand shot. However, the density & lie could make you consider picking it clean instead.
Areas around green are lush and tighter kikuyu...challenging. I carry low bounce instruments for this very situation.
Greens were nice and hold shots with very little ball marks to repair. They were rolling medium speed with predictable break. A few had had repairs performed, but that was near fringes.

The winds came up from the west and were a factor. Waiting on every tee box, and for greens to clear made for a long round and match. No drink cart, but there is a fully stocked snack bar at #7 tee. With six par 5's at par 74, this course can be a challenge. Your driver will get plenty of use here.

Played here with mild temps, blue skies & light winds. I met up with GK'r dconnally to put in our first match of cup 19. We warmed up on the range with mats. There are 3 putting greens and a chipping/sand green(1 putting green was closed & being looked after by greens staff). Check in was smooth and orderly. We were paired up with youngsters Vince and Cole, gentlemen golfers, and bringing the long ball.
Tees were mostly good, until the back 9, where about 5 of them were drying out and showing mixed bag of turf to terra coverage. Still, they are level and you can find your better 3points to launch from.
Fairways were good, healthy enough to provide good play from and trim enough for some generous roll out.
Rough was healthy and with a variety of challenging cuts(but never really penal). Only a few areas on the back 9 were noticebly patchy, but well into the second cut.
Traps(all) were the highlight, with nice texture and brightness, and showing signs of recent machined grooming. Dave mentioned recent renovations to traps, and it shows.
I found the greens to be favorable for judging speed a break, while rolling smooth and medium pace. They felt slightly softer underfoot, than the way they were holding and showing ball marks(firmer and with more release than expected). This didn't take long to adjust to.
The drink cart was absent today, but the snack bar was open, quick and freindly. The POP(4.5hrs) was steady, and I saw the Rangers patrolling out there about 5 times(very minimal waiting). A non-shot gun tournament had preceded us, but the pace and greens reflected their respect for golf. Rakes, ball washers and plenty of course restrooms. I had a good match with Dave, scored well and would return here again.

Played the whites (5870/68.5/123) with fam members in pretty decent conditions. We had 10mph winds starting at 10:30 am, but had still air by 12:30pm. The place was all to ourselves. Tees were good and maintained. Fairways were pretty lush and helpful to rollout and layups. Rough was mowed both tight and deep at times, it just depends on where you go astry on each hole. Traps, no rakes anywhere, and they we're dense and needing just as many attempts at picking shots as well as exploding shots on to greens. Areas around greens, these are table-top greens needing approach discipline for chips and pitches...flops are your friend to hold close to pins. They we're mowed tight and similar to fringes, so shots could easily roll off greens. Approach shots from any distance, will rarely leave ball marks. Adapt and let the release occur with 5-10 yard finishes beyond the ball mark to end up with a better chance at one putting. The greens clearly ran faster and firmer as the heat and low humidity set in. I bogied #15 with a shot just left and on the fringe on the lower tier below the pin teir. I want another shot at this signature hole to either par or birdie it. They are building homes around both the south and North courses, but only the north is open right now. The snack bar close by 2pm...so make your tee times appropriately. Paid $41, so reccomended right now.

Rode the Golds (6162/69.5/120) with Jim and Vic saving a few bucks with the UP voucher on 4/10. The all grass range is here at the 'Rosa course and in in good shape. We had a 8:16 start, following an efficient foursome with a twosome behind us for a 4hr POP. Winds were a factor from the start and steadily died down by 11am. We saw the drink cart on hole 9, and waived the twosome up and through us as we refreshed from the cart.

Tees in good shape. Fairways in good shape and a pleasure to hit from. The rough was manicured well and easy to find your waywards. The bunkers are nice bright sand with lighter density. The areas around green complexes are very straight forward lies for easy recovery shots. The greens were nice and receptive. They were running medium speeds with no bumps, minimal break and runaway. We noticed very few ball marks, so I'll give credit to the groups playing ahead of us for that(keeping the bunkers raked as well)!

We enjoyed our round, and with plenty of afternoon left, we played another 9 holes with the UPar free replay option. Course is in good shape. Good customer service. Cheers
