Got out this morning at 7 and the course was damp but green. Never had a bad lie in the fairway and the rough was not real hard to get out of. The bunker I was in had nice sand and I did get up and down. Marshall was a fun guy. We had a good conversation on the first tee and then on #10. Round was just under 4 hours walking and we are headed back next week. Still one of the best courses in the Inland Empire.

played her nov.18th and the course is still really nice and i was warned by others that the course can be a bit slow so we came prepared for a longer day. What we were not prepared for was the out of control marshall patrolling the place bullying people . This guy that looks like an ex linebacker from the NFL spent from hole 6 thru 18 harassing the crap out of us. Now im the first to admit we are not PGA pros and shoot between 80 and 100 for our group but we play every other week , always from the white tees , give each other lots of putts and pick up after double par is reached ( almost never happens ) After waiting on the tees for the first 6 holes and having a bad 7th hole the marshall told us we MUST play best ball and when i showed him we were a hole ahead of the threesome behind us he got argumentative and shadowed us around complaining about everything we did. To be fair i did drive on the fairway on a longer par three to try and save time finding a ball and the dude came unglued.
not being a complete pussy at that point i demanded he back off and we had a screaming match that lasted 5 minutes . We did end up finishing a full hole ahead of the group in front in less than 4 1\2 hours . Ive spoken to some buddies that live out ther and they swear the guy is always a menace and bully . Im not sure why goose creek allows this guy to ruin folks day on the course but i guess you folks should know if your considering this wonderful course , we wont be back

Played Tues Nov 6th at 7:26 got there at 7 and there was like 3 cars in the parking lot and I think they were the employees. Club house said "cart path only " scared away people. Check in was very fast and very very friendly as always. We left a single walker go in front of us and we teed off early. It was very overcast and walking down the first fairway was quiet. It felt like we were playing Christmas day, all alone. We were told by the front desk that the greens were a little slow and definitely found that on the first hole, but they were all consistent. The course was in perfet condition, tee boxes fairways just really good. POP was 3:18 great day......

I played here last Friday, and this course never disappoints from the practice area and throughout the course. The course got over seeded a couple of weeks ago and is in perfect condition; the tee boxes are level and firm. the fairways are spectacular. The rough is medium and very playable. The bunkers have clean (no rocks) sand and fluffy. The greens rolled medium, but a bit slow for my playing partners, whom play here every week. They said they are slow...a matter of opinion. They rolled nice for me! That is all that matters in a (betting) round!
I really recommend this course, if you have never played here.

Had some business in Ontario late Thursday morning, 10/4/18, and hopped over to Goose at just before 2pm. Got the $40 afternoon twilight rate and was paired with 2 regular players having a running match/smack talk session – amiable guys and fun to play with. We never caught anyone ahead until the approach shot on #18, and never saw anyone behind us except a fast single who played thru on the #12 tee. We finished in just over 3 hours. Weather was warm with some cloudiness – no wind to start, with the breeze freshening around 3pm.

Be aware that Goose Creek’s annual heavy “maintenance is coming” – the course closes Sunday, 10/7, for a week. Everything is punched – greens, fairways, and tees. They re-open Tuesday 10/16, and it will be cart path-only till the end of October. Tees were already shaved down today and the fairways had been cut close, with scattered patches of scalped ground. I expected drier, firmer conditions as the course dried out leading up to punching, but fairways and greens were fairly soft, with little runout on fairways and receptive greens. Maybe due to the rain showers Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. Also saw a lot of tree-trimming going on throughout the course, lending a more open look everywhere. No mix containers on the carts so they didn’t expect you to fill divots – those of you who have played with me know that this resulted in an ongoing twitch in my arm the entire round!

Even as they prepare for maintenance, Goose is in better shape than many local courses in their prime season. Fairway lies were mostly good, unless you happened to land in one of the scalped areas. Rough was not as lush as usual but could be 2-3 inches deep. Tees were flat! Yes, flat – like they are supposed to be everywhere! I wasn’t in the sand, but partners played out a couple times and I heard no complaints in between the smack talk. Greens did have quite a few old and new unrepaired ballmarks.

The tightened fairways and softer turf, combined with vagaries of the wind, resulted in my leaving several approaches short, especially to front pins. Those several situations really brought out to me how pushed up many of the green platforms at Goose are to the green approaches, something you don’t necessarily see from a short-to-mid iron distance out in the fairway. I often was only 5 yards short of the green, but several feet below the level of the pin in an area where the green was running slightly away from me over the front edge. My wedge/putting game was found wanting in these circumstances!

Played Tues Sept 25th at 7.06, staft was great as usual, we were a walking 2 some and the second group out for the day. A riding 2 some in front of us and NO one behind us. POP was great at 3.12. We took a few extra putts and chips on hole #2 to let the 2 some get in front of us a little more and it worked, actually didn't see them again until the back 9. The weather was overcast and being out there was fantastic by yourself, a really nice fall day. Now about the course, everyone knows Goose has great conditions and the front 9 were not bad, as usual the traps were a little hard, but fairways and greens were acceptable. The back nine was a different story starting on #12, they cut the fairways real low and left dead grass on 4 or 5 fairways on the back nine, it was like playing ground under repair the entire fairway. It is obvious that they are getting ready to punch the fairways, so......IMHO, if you have never played Goose and are planning to go and experience it, please wait for the course maintenance to heal before you go so you can get the real Goose course. Truthfully the back nine was not nice to play yesterday. If you have played it, just know that the course is under maintenance and don't expect too much.

Booked a tee time through Goose Creek web page as a single with a twosome. Teed off at 8:05 and finished in 3:50. The greens rolled mostly smooth with medium/fast speed. There were some very small bare spots but for the most part they did not effect play. The greens were a little on the firm side. The fairways had mostly good coverage with some thinner areas but nothing of much consequence. The rough had good coverage with some thin spots. The length of the rough was 1-3 inches and not too penal. The bunkers were well groomed but wet and a bit compacted. The tee boxes were in good condition.

Players started on hole 10 today. First time playing the nines reversed. Saw the food/beverage cart several times. I always enjoy playing Goose Creek. The layout is interesting and challenging but not so challenging that high handicapers would feel beat up by the course. The staff all around are very friendly.

Played 9-20 on a warm afternoon. Pace was just a touch under 4 hours even though we waited a few holes. On #16 it took close to 10 minutes to tee off.

Played 9-20 on a warm afternoon. Pace was just a touch under 4 hours even though we waited a few holes. On #16 it took close to 10 minutes to tee off.

The tee boxes and most of the fairways look to be shaved down and getting ready for fall maintenance. The fairways were not the lush lies you expect at Goose.

The greens were medium fast but a little bouncy in spots. A few had some thin spots.They are punching the first part of Oct.

Bunkers are thin as always here but playable.

Saw the cart several times and the staff at check in were friendly and sent me straight to the first tee to join a threesome of very friendly guys from OC.

Played out here today 9/9 at 9:00am. Course was in its usual good shape, greens are rolling really good right now, much better than when I played here even just a month ago. Really no complaints about the conditioning, just a little hot out today. Good time to play goose creek right now.
