Played Monday 9/12 at 12:30 with a "daily deal" booked through the Goose Creek site. $52/person is an absolute STEAL for a course of this caliber. POP was approximately 3:35 as I was standing in the parking lot chatting with my playing partners at 4:10; absolutely amazing pace. Conditions are as we have all come to expect here: Lush fairways, lush rough that can be somewhat penal, and flat teeing areas. Greens were a little bit thicker than usual with speeds slowed a little. Believe this to be a combination of the recent heatwave that has hit SoCal as well as the fact that Goose will be closing in the next week for their 5 week aerification (did not get exact dates from the starter unfortunately). However, a HUGE plus that takes this course from great to excellent, is the addition of NEW CARTS! When I rate a course on my personal rankings, I always take into account all aspects of the course, not only just playing conditions but amenities and yes, carts as well. If you have played GC in the past, you can remember the carts were rickety and devoid of any GPS or comforts. The new carts have thick, cushiony seats, two bottles of divot mix per side, a club and ball cleaner, and a Shark Experience GPS/entertainment console. May seem trivial to some, but it adds to the experience for me. Always a fair challenge out here, especially with the wind kicking up and blowing into your face on 17 and 18 coming home. Escaping with a par on 18 is always a high point. If you haven't gotten out here, do so ASAP!
