Out to Goose Creek yesterday at 11:00 am. Considering it is a dry winter, the course is in great shape. The highlights were the greens. Smooth and running around 10/11. Fairways had great coverage and rough was not too penal. Sand traps had semi-firm sand. White tee boxes were level and in good shape. Some flags were in some tucked positions. POP was 4.15 minutes with a packed tee sheet obviously. We realized the more we play here the settle bumps and undulations of the greens. Snack shop was open (please tip generously) and cart girl was making rounds. Customer service was fine. Starter was pretty useless and not up to par with rest of staff. I let Goose Creek know in their post round survey. Also want to mention again the great practice facility here. Looking forward to returning!

My last round of 2020 was at Goose Creek so why not start 2021 at Goose. Wear masks in inside and I was able to ride solo in the cart. Teed off at 7:10 and finished in 3:25 as a threesome behind a foursome. The greens rolled good with medium/fast speed. short iron shots held while mid to long shots released a little. The fairways were in very good condition with a couple of thin/bare spots. The rough was good and long enough to affect the shot but not too penal. The bunkers are a bit more compacted than 3 weeks ago but still playable. The tee boxes are good. Always enjoy playing Goose. The practice facilities are great and the staff is friendly.

Teed off this morning just after 9am and finished in 3:50. As the many recent reviews point out the course is in very good condition. The greens rolled mostly smooth with medium/fast speed and held shots. The fairways were mown tight with very good coverage. The rough was was mostly very good with a few thin patchy spots. The bunkers had sand but were a bit compacted. The one greenside bunker I was in was playable. The tee boxes were good.

Face masks required in and around club house. I was able to get a single rider cart.

Goose is simply a quality course with quality practice facilities. The staff is always friendly.

After all the recent reviews, I feel a bit silly posting this review. Conditions are always very good at the Goose, which is what I've come to expect here. One of the better and more enjoyable courses to play. Greens gave me problems today, but that was on me, not the course. It is simply just a fun track. Not too penal, but affords enough challenge to keep your interest.

I was a bit disappointed in the bunkers, but that seems to be common place now days. Otherwise not much to criticize here. Always have a great time playing here. Staff is friendly and accommodating.

Played on Thursday the 10th with the "gurus" and had a blast. Thanks Johnny, Mike and Steve for a great day. Not much to add that hasn't already been said. The bunkers may have been in the worst shape that I have seen here, but this is out of the norm for Goose Creek. I'm sure that the Goose won't let that be like that for long. I have played here many times and my expectations are always met. You know that conditions are going to be great and the pace of play will be good. The par 3's here are fun and challenging and #16 is just a beast. You never feel like you are playing the same hole twice as every hole has a personality of it's own. Customer service was great and everybody was very pleasant. Can't wait until the next time I play here. This course is one of my favorites.

Played in the outing on Thursday and the pace was great, I believe we finished right at 4 hours. Pretty much agree with everyone else. Goose is in really good condition right now and should be included in your rotation. Phenomenal practice facility that must be used if you play here. Customer service is always some of the best I have come across, never had a bad experience here.

The greens are good. There were some bumpiness but generally putts rolled well. Fairways were great to hit from. A little on the soft side so not too much roll but they were cut nicely. I didn’t think the rough was too penal but could get a little sticky in spots. I wasn’t in a bunker but the one I noticed on 9 was pretty hard panned after watching a couple of the guys in our group hit out of. I did notice some other bunkers that were freshly raked.

Wind was a little sneaky towards the end. On 18 I had 152 and I hit a 165 club and still came up 20yds short. This was probably the mildest conditions I can remember playing and it’s still a sneaky tough course. I throughly enjoy the layout of the course, the conditions are always great and customer service outstanding. These are the reasons I’ll continue to make the drive up and play here.

On a side note anyone know what year we are in with the 100 year construction project on the 15? I swear every time I drive up there it’s a new traffic pattern....

I also played with the gurus here and had a great time with Johnny,Greg and Mike. We played in 4 hours with no waiting. I can concur with the other reviews that the Goose is in great shape for the middle of Dec. Tee boxes,fairways , rough all in great shape. Never had a bad lie and no problem finding a good spot to tee off. I was not in a bunker but they did look to be a little compacted and damp. I play here a couple of times a month and always enjoy the round because the staff are friendly and the conditions are some of the best around. The pace of play is never much more than 4 hours.

Out with GK Gurus at Goose Creek Golf Club yesterday. Always fun to play with GKers. It’s been over a year since playing the Goose and I was glad to be back. Such a consistently well maintained golf course year around. I always make sure to get to the Goose well before my tee time to take advantage of the excellent practice facilities. This place is pure golf.

Yesterday was a picture perfect December day. High 60’s, sunny, with only a light breeze. I still have not after all these years solved my challenges with the greens and green complexes. I see why the golf course is often referred to as a layout that yields easy bogeys but tough pars. You really need command of the flat stick and especially touch around the greens if you are not getting on them in regulation. So many false fronts and areas of the greens you simply want to avoid. Then of course there is hole 18 which can transform any good round into train wreck – lol – I managed to bogey it yesterday and did not complain. Check out the photos I just posted.

Conditions are great at Goose Creek right now especially for December. The golf course did some overseeding in October and its help to keep it mostly green despite the cool weather forcing all the warm weather turf into dormancy. The greens are in great shape, mostly smooth with only a little bumpiness. I thought the front nine greens ran faster than the back nine. They hold your full irons shots well but get ready for pitch shots to release. Fairways in great shape with a few dormant thin spots here and there but overall excellent lies all day. Rough, not much to speak of in terms of length, a little longer than the fairways, mostly lush. Bunkers, just OK. Good sand quality but more firm and thin than I remember from past visits. Tee boxes in great shape, level and lush. On the golf carts they have premium mix with rye seed. I used up both the bottles fixing my fairway divots and others.

This is the time of year where golf courses in the Inland Empire really start feeling the effects of cold winter nights forcing turf to go dormant, become blonde, thin and firm. Not at Goose Creek. They spent extra time and money to do some overseeding and its paid off.

Excellent service all day long from the moment I arrived in the clubhouse, to seeing the on-course food/beverage service 4 times to leaving.

Highly Recommended

12/10 guru outing with Steve, Chuck and Nick a really great and fun group making for an enjoyable round with 4.00 POP. Overall conditions are very solid, fairways have good cover mostly firm but still with good cushion and soft enough to leave some major divots many that had gone unfilled. Course provides a really good divot mix and there really is no excuse for the negligence especially since they work so hard to provide quality conditions. Maybe there should be a deposit on the bottle that is returned to the player if it is brought back empty. Rough presents a variety of thickness and length which did not seem too penal but required extra attention around the greens and was really a challenge if you strayed into the out lying area. Tees level with good cover. Found 1 fairway bunker groomed and firm and 1 green side groomed damp and firm requiring a square face to minimize bounce--got ouit fine and made a nice 8 footer so for this time I consider the sand playable. Greens were receptive for high approach shots, mostly quick with some unforseen breaks rolling fairly smoothly overall. Course uses 4 zones and today most pins were comfortably placed with a couple of exceptions. Typically good customer service with friendly welcoming staff. Grass driving range, large putting green, basic but comfortable cart, no GPS but a previously mentioned sand bottles with quality divot mix. Marshal on patrol and drink cart came by x4. I think I secured the birie chain--virtual today--with a chip in on 17.
