Late review. Played here on Monday Aug 2nd. It was a grueling triple digit temperature. Staff as always are great. Tees and fairways were in good condition. Unfortunately some of the greens were terrible, worst I have ever seen since I have been playing here. Some of the greens have been affected by something (heat, disease or over fertilizing) their were brown spots and some spots were just dirt. Real bumpy and no true roll. We ended up playing the 2 put rule. Hopefully they get it back to the pristine conditions they were before.

First time back in over 4 months. What a big difference. The course is the greenest I have seen it in several years at this time of year. Fairways were nice and green and not compacted dirt. Some of the rough were deep enough that it was tough to get out of. The greens were nice but did roll slow as they appear to be letting them grow out a little.

Some GUR especially in hole #3 where they were placing sod in the fairway. The only gripe is that the bunkers did not contain sand and were hard packed, they need to be tilled and new sand replaced. POP was 4 hours and 10 minutes.

Staff were great and friendly.

Haven't played Talega for several months. Finally found a tee time and booked it.

The greens are really nice and green. They did roll medium and true. Fairways had good grass coverage with some brown spots due to the hot weather. Sand traps especially fairway traps contained hard packed sand. Some traps are being reconditioned and some are being resized. Still no bunker rakes.

Still is a fun layout and friendly staff. Still no entry into pro shop. Driving range does not open till 9am.

First time playing this course. We bought the Play and Stay special from Underpar. Great deal with 2 days of unlimited golf and 1 night stay at the Omni Hotel. 1st day our foursome played all three 9s in under 6 hours. 2nd day we only played 18 holes (West-South). Staff was great and accommodating. Was told that that carts were required to be in at 4pm.

We liked the West-South but did not enjoy the North 9, as the north 9 had more up and down elevation and not as flat.

Okay for the review of the course. The course was okay but we thought it would be better for a resort and CC course. We have played in several resort courses in the Palm Springs area and this course was not up to par compared to the others we played.

Some holes were located in what appears to be the dry riverbed, wonder what would happen in a flash flood. Greens had micro aeration holes and some had dry brown spots, puts were slow and and slightly bumpy. Fairways and rough were lush and green, best part of the course. Bunkers were wet and compacted, some had green standing water. Need more restrooms within the course.

Overall a decent deal with Underpar.

Had the opportunity to play this private course today, due to a friend winning an auction to play here. The course is in very good shape. Tees to fairways were nice and green. Rough was cut to just the right height, barely any bare spots. Both greenside and fairway bunkers contained nice fluffy sand. Greens were nice, level, contained a dusting of sand but it did not affect your putts. They were quick and some greens were tricky to judge the break causing some 3 putts. This is what country club golf plays like.

we have not played this course in several years. We were able to grab a tee time with reasonable green fees. The course has changed their layout. The #1 and #2 holes were previously the #17 and #18. The #1 hole is now the #3. My GPS did not reflect this change as of yet.

#1 tee was backed up 10 minutes which made the round slow. No marshal to move along the groups.

The wind was a brutal today. At least a 2 club headwind.

The greens were nice, rolled true at a medium to fast pace. Fairways in good condition and made your ball rolled nicely if hit. Rough was the perfect height with your balls still visible if hit to it. Some bunkers were hard and contained small pebbles.

Staff was friendly and accommodating.

Played today. Became windy as the afternoon came around. Dodged the rain forecasted. The greens were aerated a few weeks ago. Mini-holes are still visible and the greens are bumpy. No true roll. A couple more weeks until the greens will be completely healed. Traps had decent sand. The white tee box on hole #16 was a little bare. Other parts of the course were in good condition.

Staff as always were friendly and inviting.

This review is about a week late, but wanted to update the course conditions. Played her last week Wednesday the 21st. Greens are still recuperating from being aerated several weeks ago. Still has visible holes and are bumpy, so ball does not roll true. Hopefully in another week or two they will be perfect. Sand traps are hard and compacted. Rest of the course is in decent condition.

Played Goose today. Started out overcast, but sun came out after noon. They aerated the greens several weeks ago and it is still visible. Greens were bumpy and it appears that they are fighting some kind of disease on the greens. Lots of round splotches on the greens. You are now allowed to pull the flags when putting.

Fairways and some tee boxes were in great condition. Sand was also in good condition and now contain rakes.

Staff helpful as usual. They are now allowing dining indoors. POP was around 4 hours.

Played today. POP was a good 4 hours. Course supposed to have aerated the week of 3/22. Greens still have not completely healed. Aeration holes are still visible and bumpy. So putts are not yet rolling true. Possibly another week and they should be pristine.

Other parts of the course are in nice condition. Most bunkers are filled with fluffy sand. Staff as always pleasant and friendly.

Played today with regular Monday group. Staff is great as always. course is in good condition. Greens had some divot damage but was in overall nice condition. Sand traps had good amount of sand. Some tee boxes have been combined to let them grow out.

Hole #13 is being repaired and appears that they are removing waste area in middle of fairway. Temporarily being played as a Par 3 instead of 5. POP was a good 4 hours.

A beautiful day to play golf. Great POP of about 4 hours. Carts were all lined up, just had to check in with cart personnel right before tee time. Cart did start to go out by 15th hole, but made it through round.

Parts of fairways and rough are GUR and roped off, appears to have been over seeded. Greens were being top dressed with a light layering of sand. Greens were hard to read as some were fast and some were slow do to the sand. Some bunkers had mud and some were wet and compacted.

Still a good day of golf.
