We played the Goose 20-March-10 after being advised they were not going to punch their greens or fairways this season. If golf were NASCAR, Goose made a wise decision and took the checkered flag while their competition watched from the pits. The course was as usual immaculate. Pace of play on this Saturday (0830 tee time) was 4:15. Even though I had a terrible day putting (my fault, not the the course's) I had a great time. The staff (Jimmy & Co.) were their usual, friendly, helpful selves. One thing that seldom gets mentioned in golf course review is the practice facility-another top notch feature here. There is no better golf course for the money in SoCal-hands down.

Congrats to the greenskeeper & his crew-Please keep up the good work!

Walked on as a single at 145pm - straight out to join a twosome - that part was awesome.
Now, I'm a huge fan of Goose Creek but, based on their normal high standards, two things bothered me today. One, there was no groundskeeping ongoing and the tee-boxes and the fairways were - lets say furry, rather than the usual pristine. Two, the sand in a lot of the traps is getting thin. I was in 3 bunkers today and all could have used more sand. The top veneer of soft sand was no more than 1/2 inch with hardpan below. Also saw a lot more weeds growing in them and the edges were very raggedy. Still better than a lot of courses but below GC's usual excellence. IMHO, of course.

As always, the customer service here was outstanding. However, many of the greens were recently aerated and all had been sanded. I was very surprised to see that when GK had no mention of it. Still... Continue »

Goose creek as usual was a great track to play. We tee'd off right on time Fri. march 5th. at 9:05 and the round took 4 hours to complete. The course was lush and the greens were in good shape. There seems to be a lack by some golfers to properly fix their ball marks on the greens thus making some putts stray offline ,otherwise the greens were true . This said, the staff from the starter to the beverage cart person were pleasant and helpful.

Played Friday, 3/5, as a three-some. The Goose is notorious on this site for it's consistency in the conditioning of the course. It is consistently in very nice shape. We went off around 11:20 with an open hole in front of us. By the third hole we had caught up and settled into a slower pace involving some waiting for fairways and greens to clear before continuing play. On the 14th tee box, the marshal came by and explained that the group two ahead of us was having issues, had been warned a couple of times and that an adjustment had been made that should spped things up. It was probably about a 5-hour round and I mention it as a condition of play on the day rather than a complaint. While a little slow, it was generally steady, so it was nothing to upset your rhythm. I'm usually in a hurry to get on a golf course, not off. A pleasant day with no significant breeze until the last couple of holes, almost every facet of the course was in very good shape. The one area I would say was less than stellar is the greens. The speed was good and on the quick side, but they were less than pure holding the lines. I saw a few putts make some uncharacteristic jumps and direction changes that are inconsistent with an ideal putting experience. Not horrible, but a shade below the consistency of the rest of the course. The practice green was sanded, so perhaps the regular greens are due for a little TLC and rolling. These are fine points and nothing that would prevent me from recommending the Goose in a heartbeat.
