Had a 7:10 tee time today and got out right on time. I played as a single until #9 when I caught a twosome.
Tee boxes are just ok with many having a lot of divot damage. Overall the course is a bit on the dry side so some fairways had decent coverage but some were thin-hard and had bare spots.
The rough is not much different than the fairways just with more bare areas.
I was in a couple of bunkers and they had ample dark brown sand but are still without rakes.
The greens were the best part of the course with good surfaces to put from but on the slow side.
The third hole is still a par three but it has been moved a little to the west and is shorter. The whole east side of that area has had the trees cut down and is being cut away to make room for the road work.
The pro shop said that per Cal Trans the course will close in july for about a year and a half and be completely redesigned. The time frame could change depending on how well the work goes. They did not know who was doing the redesign work. Maybe Johnny can find out???
The course looks like it is not being maintained very well and I expect it will continue to go downhill until the closure.

Played here on Fri 3/19 with a tee time of 7:53. The twosome i was supposed to be paired with didn't show up so they moved me back one slot and off we went. First few holes were a bit slow but the marshal came around and lit fire under the group ahead and then things moved fine. Finished right 4:15. Range and practice green both open and masks required in the shop for checkin.
Tee boxes are a mixed bag with some lush and some a bit thin but acceptable overall.
The fairways are in good winter shape with only a couple a bit thin in areas. Rough is thin and not an issue to play from.
Bunkers are lacking sand but playable.
They are punching and sanding two greens per week thur April and this week it was 7 & 18. Other than those the greens are in very good shape and rolled medium quick with very few old ball marks.
When I left it was very busy around the clubhouse and a few people were eating inside the snack bar. The cart was around twice once on each nine.
I had only played here once before years ago and I enjoyed the round and plan to return more often.

Played here Fri. 2/26 with a 7:50 tee time and got out right on time.I paid the senior rate of $50 which about all this track is worth right now. We played as a foursome and we finished right at 4 hr. There were lots of young ladies on the range and playing practice rounds on the Champions course getting ready for the Symetra event next week.
Checkin is now back upstairs in the shop with masks required.
The tee boxes are a little beat up on the whites, some need some leveling.
Fairways are in good shape for winter with decent coverage but still a good amount of roll out.The rough is cut down and not much of an issue to hit from.
The bunkers are the weakest part on the course. Most lack sand and have way too many rocks.
The greens were firm and ran quick. The sign said they were running at 10.5 but most seemed quicker. There are a lot on old ball marks but they did not effect the roll too much.
There is a lot of construction going on around the course with grading going on getting ready for houses. Some look to be very close to the course. There are several new tunnels that go under new roads being built. At the 18 tee box there are lots literally backing up to the cart path.
We saw the drink cart several times and it is card only no cash accepted. Standard covid stuff with no ball washers or rakes but there are sand bottles on the carts.

Played 2/16 with a 7:13 tee time and got out right on time. Finished in 4:15 with some waiting on the group ahead of us. Check in is in the shop and quick with masks required. The grill is open for take out and drinks. Range and practice green are both open.
Tee boxes are a little thin but still very playable
Fairways on the front nine show signs of being punched recently and were good to hit from although winter thin with lots of roll out. The back nine must have been punched with 1/2 holes last night or early this morning and you had to deal with all the muddy plugs.
The rough around the greens was long and thick making you work to get out. The bunkers were just reworked last summer and have lots of nice white sand but no rakes so you have to deal with some footprints.
The greens ran at medium speed and held shots well. Very few old ball marks to deal with.
Did not see a drink cart but did have a marshal come by several times.
Overall I always enjoy this track and will be back soon.

I played here on Mon. the 8th so Im a little late with this.
Had a 7:40 tee time and we got out about 10 minutes late I believe due to some fog hanging around the course. We waited on a few holes on a foursome ahead of us who seemed to be confused on some of the holes but we still finished in 4:10.
Tee boxes are in good shape except for 17 which is so hard you almost need a hammer to get a tee in the ground.
Fairways are in great shape with good coverage and a nice cushion to hit from. Most of the bunkers are ok but could use more sand in some.
The rough is cut down and not too penal.
The greens were firm and running at a medium/fast speed. Some were a little bumpy.
Checkin was quick but I do have one complaint. You can not book as a single player over the phone and you must book online. They do not give you the option to get the senior rate this way. I would like to see this change.
Overall a great day at Goose and I will be back soon.
