Played 11/15 - $60.00 senior rate for 11.00 am tee time. First time playing and very pleasantly surprised by the challenge and layout of the course. There are far more altitude changes on this track than even those courses in the IE foothills. Played the black tees at just over 6000 yards but it feels like it plays much longer. Even the single digit handicappers I played with felt that way. Great views from the mountaintops not too badly spoiled by the abundance of oil derricks throughout the property. Houses that adjoin many of the fairways are unobtrusive. Practice facilities are good and the clubhouse excellent too.
Would play again for sure.

Played 11/08 with a Golf Now online price of $42.00. That's the good news. The bad news was, we were right behind a tournament and the round took so long we finished in darkness and rain. The driving range and practice facilities are very nice - and at $17.00 for a large bucket, they'd better be! Overall, a pleasant golfing experience. Its far enough from any roads or industry to be a quiet course (Amtrak and Metrolink trains occasionally trundle past) and there are no houses surrounding the fairways. The grass on some holes is getting a bit thin but the greens were good and so was the sand in the bunkers I visited. Can't speak to the 19th hole facilities as they were closed when we finished. Would play again but not at the rack-rate - better courses for less moolah in the IE.

Played early 8/16/12 - Walked in and was paired up with a threesome immediately -very time efficient although not conducive to practice! Course looked a little beaten-up to me, probably the heat. Bunkers that I visited had damp, compacted sand. The diseased grass on #11 fairway is getting worse. That magnificent tree that used to affect your second shot on #14 has been pruned to the point that I hope it doesn't die. Construction of flood control and road bridge adjacent to #18 tee has wrecked the ambiance not to mention the grass. The tee boxes were, as always, immaculate. Saw the cart girl 3 times. Are the carts new? This is the first time I have played here this year and usually walked when I did before but they looked and felt updated. Despite the issues I have listed, this is still a great golf experience - IMHO, the standard by which other inland golf courses should be judged.

Played 4/09/12. Impressions - very green and generally in good condition. Course is 'scruffy round the edges' but the main components are fine. More water hazards than I expected. Lakes mean coots, unfortunately, and there were plenty in evidence. Course is adjacent to main road and freeway but noise was not an issue. Neither was the aroma from the Chino dairies. This is an old style golf course and an excellent experience for the fee. The driving range is grass (always good, although early mornings this time of year you are hitting directly into the sun). The starter was very amenable, the snack bar was fine, there were marshalls and a cart girl. I would definitely play there again.

Played 4/2/12. Greens were fastest I can remember ever. Turns out, SCGA championship qualifier coming up. Course was as well manicured as always. New "Lorena Ochoa Golf Academy" clubhouse almost completed at west end of driving range.
Mens room by 12th tee out of paper towels - can't remember the last time that happened. Bees swarming around trees to right of 15th fairway. Go to their redesigned webpage and check out the 'Tagline' contest to win free golf for a year.

Played 3/20/12 and again 3/26/12. Conditions were the usual first class. Was particularly impressed by how well the course had drained from the heavy rains on Sunday 3/25. Some changes I noticed since last visit. New PA system to call people to the first tee is a bit too LOUD!! You can hear it just about anywhere on the golf course. More signage around the cart paths including new yardage information boards at each tee. Did I imagine there were more ballwashers the first time I played only to find them missing the second visit? New cartpath arrangement at the 18th white teebox. Some new construction at the far end of the driving range - golf school facility perhaps?
Greens were recently spiked and sanded and are almost back to normal. Cart girl in evidence multiple times. Pond scum removed/disappeared from lake on 18th and evidence of new aeration system. Still too many coots on the course. And lots of waterfowl too (LOL)
Goose Creek remains at or near the top for quality golf experience in Riverside county.

Played 11/18/11 Heard that this was a "poor-man's Pebble Beach"! Well, the views certainly are splendid although the day we played, the sun never came out - it would have been truly spectacular otherwise. First nine has mostly blind tee-shots - that is, you cannot see the flag, so it helps to play with someone who knows the course. The starter kindly gave us a free yardage book, so that helped. Plenty of yardage markers and marked sprinkler heads help you choose your club. A very walkable course, there are few doglegs and mostly long par-3's. Its a parkland course with very few sand traps. Nice restaurant facilities for the 19th hole. Practice facility left something to be desired - slightly uphill teeing ground with sharply uphill range and smallish putting green. I thought some of the tee boxes were not level. But overall, a great old course and would go back there in heartbeat, especially in the summer months.

Played 10/22/11. Goose Creek has just about recovered from October maintenance. Cartpath only for just hole #1. The overseeding has taken well. Course was soggy, presumably from the extra watering to get the new seed to take. Almost every tee-shot ended up as a mud-ball and there was no roll out - balls plugged and stopped dead. Greens were still quite sandy, slow and bumpy. Bare spots on 11th fairway have been eliminated. Rough was left growing a little longer than usual. Two things I noticed - more marshaling was in effect and ball-washers have been installed where once they were absent at several holes. And while I don't blame the golf course for this, what was with the weather - 93' on October 22nd!? Give it another week and this place will be back to its usual excellent condition.

Played 10/20/11. First time ever playing this course. Overall, I liked it a lot. Reminded me of Cresta Verde but in better shape. Scorecard shows barely 6100 yards from blues but the constant elevation changes make it seem to play longer. Par 3's are all challenging, so few easy scoring holes (for me, anyway).
Some great views over adjacent Rubidoux and Riverside. On this day, all tee-boxes had been aerated and heavily sanded. There are plenty of teeing ground options for most holes but too many are uneven. The greens were perfectly acceptable - a little slow and bumpy and lots of unrepaired ball marks. Rough was fair, fairways a bit rough - lots of stringy grass. Sand was good in the two bunkers I visited. Some nice lakes that barely come into play. Nice clubhouse bar and restaurant and all the staff I spoke to were very pleasant. I will definitely play here again.

played 10/8/11 in GK tournament. Great overall condition and top notch golf experience.
Greens were fast and the ball wanted to roll forever! How KevBig needed only 27 putts I'll never know! Came back the following Tuesday and played the challenge course - another excellent experience.

Played 10/7/2011 - Course was as green as I've seen it due to recent rains. That meant you weren't getting the extra 20 yards roll from the fairways! Tee boxes were in outstanding shape and sand was too. Weakest point for me was the greens - seemed slower and bumpier than usual. Probably still recovering from aerification. Temperatures were low 70's and wind nice and steady - about 1 club when playing into it. So perfect conditions. Only complaint was no cart girl - strange for a busy friday.

played AM 9/27/11. Surprisingly, considering the September heatwave, this course is in better condition than I ever remember. All the maintenance that I have observed over the last 6 months has been rewarded. The tee-boxes in particular are awesome - just need to be mowed a little shorter now the grass has grown in. Observing the fairways from the numerous elevated viewpoints around the course, you could see the checkerboard mowing patterns and the overall fine manicuring. The rough was not punitive and the sand, (according to playing partners, as I paid no visits there!), was very good too. Cart girl visited regularly and was very easy on the eyes! So, all in all, a very satisfying golf experience topped off by some tasty refreshments in the excellent restaurant.
