8:30 tee time today, front 9 was a little chilly, it was great! The Goose is being worked on. 2 or 3 fairways are torn up, Lift and place, piles of grass,, greens are NOT cut and rolled, they are OK but Slooooow. Most of the course looks normal, but, its this time of year, getting ready to tear it up, punch greens and fairways, sooooo not a lot of UPKEEP going on. Lots of workers which is good but not making the place tidy as usual. Again, its this time of year, we will find this EVERYWHERE for awhile. Maybe a good time to take a break from play,, naaaaaa.

I've probably (actually, I'm certain of it!) written more reviews of Goose Creek GC than any other track in So. Cal. Johnny GK remeinded me by e-mailing me a link from one of my first reviews in 2002.

And if you search my reviews, you will see a consistent pattern. Goose Creek is, without a doubt, the most consistently great golf course we have here.

Yesterday's (Sat. Sept. 1, 2007) round was no different. As a matter of fact...I don't think I've seen The Goose in as great a condition as it was yesterday. Our 4-hour and ten-minute round (not too fast, not too slow) was punctuated by lush and level tee-boxes, lush and verdant fairways (how do they do it in the middle of summer?? I know their water-bill must be astronomical!! If I have any complaint...and this is NOT a 'complaint' - it's that there were quite a few spots that were very wet and bordering on soggy (....but - it's been 105+ out in Norco for a week!! What are ya gonna do???)

The greens were a little slower than normal, but held all shots extremely well (TOUGH pin placements yesterday!! I don't know what side of the bed the greenskeeper got up on...but it was BRUTAL!) They rolled tru (not bumpy at all...) - but the length of the grass seemed to take some of the break out of the normal putt. Like I said...it was a matter of getting used to...there are certainly MUCH worse greens in the area!! The Goose's greens are beautiful...and - I actually think that the people who play there regularly (like me and my group) are starting to fix thier ball marks and a couple of others. There were very few yesterday!

Jim from the pro-shop told us that they were going to mow and roll the greens this week...and that there would be some aeration being done in October.

As always, the staff and the people at The Goose make the experience of playing there a real pleasure. The cart-girl's cart broke down...and Jim himself came out to the 10th-tee to bring us a couple of Diet Pepsis so we wouldn't die in the 100+ heat.

THAT'S customer service, my friends! Eagle Glen and Trilogy (Glen Ivy) - please take note.

As I've said before, and I'll say again...why play anyplace else when there's Goose Creek right down the road!

First time playing this course. Overall very nice conditions. The fairways, tees, and greens were in very good conditions. I will definetly play here again.

Excellent track in great condition. Only two small complaints (no marshalls and the flys - dairy next door).

We made a tee time for 10:23am, but when we arrived they had us down for 6am! I thought, uh oh, as the gentleman behind the counter huffed and tossed his pencil down. But, they got us right out. Very accomodating.

It's worth the money, as always.

I can add nothing to the dozens of reviews I have written regarding The Goose over my last five years on Greenskeeper.org . Consistently the best-conditioned, fairest test of golf in all of So. Cal. Always worth the drive, from anywhere. And with all of the fine choices along that Interstate 15 corridor, there is no reason why you should not be making Goose Creek a regular stop in your golfing rotation.

Played last Saturday morning at 7:15 A.M. - and - although we had to wait on every single shot - we still managed to get around in 4-hours and fifteen-minutes. I am noticing a nice drop-off in the number of un-repaired ball marks on the Goose's greens.

And - Goose Creek seems to be the only course who has a handle on having a mixture of poa and bent grasses on their greens. All 18 greens were both holding shots and rolling true all day...there was very little lumpiness at all.

And the staff at Goose Creek is top-shelf all the way.

Played Tues. 7/24 a.m. This is a great course requiring good shots from your entire game. Course is in excellent condition.

I found this "gem" by accident and thought it was a dream. Pleasant people, challenging course.
