Played on Monday. The course's greens were aerated just a week ago and are still very sandy and bumpy. I would wait at least three weeks to play here as there are no special pricings for the greens conditions. So if you don't mind where your putts go, then you're okay. The rest of the course is in very good condition.

I hadn't seen any recent reviews so I thought I'd provide an update. Near perfect conditions in almost every way. I don't know how it could be any better. The tees are level with good coverage, the... Continue »

I hadn't seen any recent reviews so I thought I'd provide an update. Near perfect conditions in almost every way. I don't know how it could be any better. The tees are level with good coverage, the fairways are like a carpet and the greens are really nice, rolling medium speed and few if any ball marks. For all the play this course gets it's always in really good condition. The recent rains have just made everything more lush. Enjoy!

I missed the GK Plays outing at GCGC on November 17th and after reading the reviews about the great course conditions I wanted to get out there. Posted a Meet-Play on the GK site a week ahead of time for a 1:00 tee time, but I didn’t get any takers. GCGC doesn’t book for singles, so when I called to reduce the group to 1 they told me to just show up and they’d get me in as a single. They had a large group finish going off around 12:30 so the first tee was pretty deserted. I was paired with single who was pretty new to golf and we went off around 1:00 on Thursday, 11/30/23. The group in front of us was occasionally playing the Goose tees (not even on the normal scorecard, so no Roman numeral!). I didn’t know there was a tee next to the cart path on #2 – it’s the Goose tee for #3 and you need to wait for it to clear before hitting on #2.

GCGC recently came out of their annual maintenance and looks great. Lots of lush green surrounds and the white bunker sand really pops the eye. Greens are the first thing you think of after aeration and maintenance and they were in good shape. The course had them cut down pretty tight and they still showed the holes from punching, but rolled just fine at medium+ speed. There was some inconsistency in the firmness, as some greens were very firm and released shots, while others were softer and you got pretty big ballmarks.

Fairways were cut pretty close but with good coverage, and the ball sat just fine. Overall the turf is still damp from recent maintenance/weather and the ball doesn’t run out like it does when the course is drier. I had a few mudballs in the fairway today. The first cut of rough was pretty short and easily playable. Tees were level and just fine; the course had the III (White) tees pushed well forward on some of the par-3s. I was in a few traps and sand quality and quantity was fine – too bad so many people don’t use the rakes, including my playing partner.

We played through a group of women golfers on #11 and then occasionally bumped up on that earlier foursome playing the Goose tees. Overall great pace and we finished before 4:30 with plenty of daylight left. Saw the cart girl a few times but no marshal today.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad experience at the Goose in all the years I’ve been coming here. Always recommended.

The Goose! – With the threat of rain all week we got a postcard day and evening for our GK Plays Goose Creek outing 11/17. I was hearing how dialed in the course was after overseeding and those reports were spot on. Let’s pause for a second, would Goose Creek GC tee sheet be full anyway during the 30 days the course closes for overseed? You bet it would. 30 days of lost revenue and accompanying costs to overseed is an enormous sacrifice of capital to make sure the course meets or exceeds its standards. Wow. Thank You Goose Creek GC. It does not go unnoticed. Every aspect of the course was in super shape!

I’m in the process of doing my GK Plays Goose Creek GC recap for our forums and make social media posts. What an epic day that was. Highly recommended for any golfer or group organizer.

Thank you to everyone that participated in our GK Plays!

Played in the GK Plays on 11/17 and it's one I always look forward to playing. The Goose was in pretty close to immaculate shape, having just come out of reseeding. I always expect lots of mud balls but found very few. Tee boxes were nice and level. Bunkers were full of fluffy white sand, just wish the fairway bunkers were a bit more packed. Greens were excellent, except the late afternoon footprints around the hole.

Overall, I love this course and always have a great time at the GK event here. It's the one course I can make a "down and back" day trip from Vegas to play a round.

Another quality golfing experience this past Friday out at Goose Creek for the GK event. I had the distinct pleasure of teeing it up with Johnny himself, along with Lindsay and Steve for a terrific foursome going out as the last group at 12:30pm.

As always, Goose Creek's warmup facilities are second to none, although unless I was doing something wrong I noticed the mats don't really work to hit driver as you can't use a proper tee? But the range itself and the putting and chipping areas are fantastic.

Course conditions were ideal and the weather not only held up for the entire day, it went nuts with near 80 degree temperatures under blue skies all afternoon. The fairways are in terrific shape, and the rough has some deep areas but was mostly playable. White sand bunkers as far as the eye can see and they play as great as they look. Tee boxes were (we played from the III tees) exemplary - not a single complaint.

Also found the greens to be in very solid shape. They held shots well, rolled true and held their lines quite nicely throughout the day. Speeds were perhaps a bit inconsistent but that's likely because they dried out so much after the previous day's rains. Just a terrific all around facility and conditions that are what you pray for every time you put your clubs in the car.

Always enjoy these outings and getting to meet some new GKers along with catching up with some of the long-time veterans. Will surely be at the next and will never pass up a good chance to play the Goose!

Attended the Goose Creek outing with a buddy who had never seen the course. Seeing the weather reports all week and not knowing what to expect, it turned out to be about as perfect a day one could expect — cloudless, still at the start, light breeze in the middle, still towards the end. The course paired up well with the weather. Tee boxes all clean and level. The fairways were all green, trim, and consistent as to offering a clean lie. Rough was pretty consistent as to cut quality with the first cut playable but a bit of a factor. Where a second cut came it to play, both finding and advancing the ball got tougher. I'm not good out of the sand and so not exactly a bunker aficionado, but these were beautiful — nice, white, slightly course sand that wasn't overly heavy, nor was it too fluffy. Not saying I played well out of the them, but I could get used to them. Where mown to fairway length the green surrounds could be tight for chipping while otherwise it was consistent and presented opportunities. The greens were nice — quick enough but not twitchy and receptive to incoming shots, leaving a pronounced divot. I found a few to fix as I went but the greens were in very nice shape overall. I noticed one green on which there was still the ghost of aeration but don't think it affected anything.

The practice facilities here are very nice and make for a good warm up. Organization of the day was smooth and the starter gave a full rundown before each group teed off. The shadows of the late afternoon sun enhanced the vistas as the day approached sunset and the final event group finished behind us just in time. The post-round gathering and raffle was pleasant and efficient. Goose Creek deserves recognition for maintaining a quality product and Johnny deserves kudos for another enjoyable GK event.

BigHitter summed it up well. I didn't have any of the aeration mark issues that he had, I was fully in control of missing my own putts. I did get in a few bunkers, and they were in outstanding conditions.

GO TO GOOSE CREEK NOW. Public golf doesn't get much better than this.

Just played Goose yesterday 11-9-23. The course has just reopened from a month long closure for overseeding and aeration of the greens. The coure is in magnificent condition. The tee boxes, fairways, sand traps (luckily I wasn't in any of them lol) and rough were in top condition. My only complaint was the greens. You could tell they had been aerated a few weeks ago instead of a month ago. I had a few putts that should have gone in for birdie and par that missed out because they hit an aeration mark. The wind was crazy yesterday, blowing close to 20mph which made for a challenging but fun round. Can't wait to go back to Goose.
