I played in the GK outing yesterday with Perry, David and Lindsey. Playing here is such a treat. The course conditions, as other reviews have noted, were near perfect from tee to green. Visually, this course makes me so happy. The contrast of the emerald green fairways spotted with the snow white bunkers was stunning. The entire course was very neatly manicured. Other than some loud music coming from a nearby home, it was so peaceful out there.
The driving range was disappointing being mats. I was able to put in a short tee which worked fine for hitting my driver, but I definitely prefer the grass. The putting green and chipping areas were great. The carts were about as basic as they come. It would be nice if they could add GPS.
I played really well and always enjoy the GK festivities afterwards. I’m still smiling thinking about all of it. Thank you Johnny and Goose Creek for another wonderful day!

I had a great time in the GK Guru outing yesterday with Kevin and Pedro. It was my first time playing here and I was excited for the opportunity. It was a long drive from OC in the morning traffic but very much worth it.

The staff was welcoming with a cart in the parking lot. Pro shop staff was also very friendly. The driving range gave the first of many beautiful views out across the fields to the mountains. The putting green gave a preview of how crazy fast the greens would be on the course.

Conditions were overall pretty good. The fairways were very nice. Other than just a few thin areas, there was good coverage and cushion. The forward tee boxes could have been better. Several were sloped with the ball well above my feet. I found 4 (or 5?) bunkers. Some had whiten sparkly sand, others were more pebbly dirt-like. The rough varied from very long & deep to near nothing around many of the greens.

The greens were an adventure. There were smooth, firm and fast! The speed combined with the many subtle breaks made for some interesting and very amusing putts.

Thank you Johnny, and Spanish Hills, for a really fun day. I hope to play here again sometime.

I played in the GK outing with Laura, Peter and Todd. This was my first time here and I loved it. The staff was friendly and helpful. As soon as I parked, a cart was brought to my car and I was promptly greeted in the pro shop. They have a nice grass range, large putting green and a chipping area with lush grass around the green. The carts were comfy, quiet and had GPS and a cooler.

The course was really fun. There are lots of elevation changes, gorgeous views and a good variety of holes. There were a few holes where some course knowledge would really come in handy. The only hole that really frustrated me was #7. It was a par 3 but the green was not visible from the copper tees. There was a huge mound in the way. We could see the top of the flag but had no idea what the green looked like. Not fun when I’m trying win closest to the pin lol.

The fairways were lush and the greens medium fast with lots of undulations. The bunkers had enough sand but lots of little stones and pebbles. The tee boxes were mostly level with few divots. Some rough was dormant and some was lush and green. It was all easy to chip from which made me very happy.

The restaurant was top notch too. The food was good and the service excellent.
I would like very much to play here again sometime. Thank you Johnny and Laughlin Ranch!
