Played as a single on Saturday, noon tee time. Out on time, paired with 3 good guys. Course is in really nice condition as always. A few places of GUR where new sod has been put in. Greens smooth and true, running medium speed, maybe a tad slow. Fairways in great shape. Was in one fairway bunker- packed, firm sand which is nice for fairway trap. Greenside bunkers looked to have plenty of fluffy sand. Pace was about 4:10. Waited a bit on the group in front.
Nice practice area. Cart service around a few times. One of my favorite courses, won't wait 4 years to get back out here again.

First time back out at Goose Creek in four years this past weekend and it was well worth the wait. The course is still in its usual solid shape, with a few areas in need of a little bit of attention, but nothing that takes away from the great overall experience of the course.

We played from the white (III) tees with our threesome and maintained a nice POP throughout the entire day - never pushing the group in front of us too much, and never really being pushed from behind either. We had nice cart service numerous times as well. The course and its amenities were well worth the $91 greens fee for a small bucket and cart as well.

Greens were in good shape and very consistent throughout the day, but there are some holes that have some GUR areas around them affecting approach shots, such as the par 5 4th hole. But they're mostly very solid. Tee boxes are also flat, level and in good shape, while the fairways and rough are very nice all around. I was only in one bunker all day and it was in the fairway on the 8th hole, but the sand seemed ample.

Shame it took this long to get back to the Goose and I will try to not make that mistake again!

GC has been a long time favorite course but yesterday was a fiasco. As always, we’re told POP needs to be 4 hours. We finished in 4:15 and NEVER ONCE had any players on our tail, in fact we were ahead of group by more than a hole. However, at the 10th we had Marshal following us continuously and bringing up our pace. At the turn we were at 2:06. This SOB made our back 9 horribly uncomfortable. The 4 hr POP request is understandable but when you’re approx over by less than a minute per hole and they start hassling you it makes for a really sh-t ty and in fact slower back 9. We finished ~ 25 seconds over per hole and were harassed the whol back 9 as a result.

Played Friday morning 6/16. Did not have a chance to hit the practice facility, however it looked dialed as always. I haven't played GC in a year and was not disappointed. Hit all marks course, is in near perfect condition right now. Get out if you can.

Played Friday afternoon 4/28 in 4.5 POP from the III tees. We were a walking foursome, following a twosome and only had to wait two times(once on #4 due to the drink cart, and once on #17...mainly because there were serious drivers in our group). Don't bother asking for a serious discount on bud light from the drink cart, cause they're not selling it...hmmm.
What a wonderful value...the course is in top shelf shape and the weather this time of year is too. The greens have completely healed from this spring's aeration, roll smooth, they're firm underfoot, but certainly show ball marks from approaches of more than 100 yards(be kind and fix all ball marks). Well struck long iron approaches were showing about a 50/50 expected holding pattern, otherwise, they hold shots well. The entire course is lush, the warm season grasses are really thriving, and all turf is manicured to more competitive levels. Traps are superb, fairways fantastic, rough is competitive(just shy of penal) & tee boxes are terrific. Now is a great time to get ya some goose, highly recommended.

Played it with six friends on a Thursday, we all thoroughly enjoyed the round. We played it in a little under four hours. The course is in great condition, as always, and the greens have fully recovered from aeration. The staff are real pros and the best at what they do to keep the course in such great condition. The best public course in SoCal, tied with Rustic Canyon in Moorpark in that regard, in my opinion.

Always worth the drive from OC to play Goose. Teed off about 10:20 on Thursday morning finishing in 4:25. The greens have recovered well from aerification three weeks ago. The greens rolled smooth wit... Continue »

Always worth the drive from OC to play Goose. Teed off about 10:20 on Thursday morning finishing in 4:25. The greens have recovered well from aerification three weeks ago. The greens rolled smooth with medium/fast speed and held shots. Longer shots tended run out a little. The fairways had good coverage and provided decent rollout on tee shots. The rough had good coverage with a few thin/bare spots. The length was long enough to affect shots but not overly penal. The bunkers appeared to be well groomed and in good shape. My playing partners had no complaints. The tee boxes had decent coverage and were mostly level. Goose is a well maintained course with great practice facilities. The staff was friendly.

First time out here on Sat 4/1 at noon as part of a foursome. Finally a perfectly beautiful spring day! Was excited to play here and it did not disappoint. Grabbed a bucket of balls from the pro shop and warmed up on the range. I liked that they had chipping markers on the left side so you could dial in some distances at 20-25 yard intervals. The range uses one of those long continuous mats that you can't get a tee in so for drivers you have to stand in front which is kind of awkward but gets the job done. The course itself from the IV tees doesn't play especially long, but it certainly has its challenges with a number of short par 4s that have risk/reward off the tee. Lots of dog legs! Gotta hit your lines or you'll find yourself in any number of bunkers or be out of position. Fairways are pretty generous for the most part with good roll out, but they're lined with fairly thick rough, so wayward shots can get hung up in them, and there are some OB areas on the edges of a number of holes. Some water trouble lurking out there as well. Fairways were in great condition, bunkers had soft sand, but the one thing that made the day less than a 10/10 was the greens as they'd just been punched a week ago. They were healing nicely but still sandy which made putting a lot more challenging. Rolled fast for the most part but hard to get good lines when it's that bumpy. Wind picked up probably gusting 15-20 mph by the time we reached the back which makes the course play a little longer in, and you have to compensate for it when it's coming from the side, but it just added to the fun. I do wish they had a better mix of par 3 distances as they all sat in the 170ish range save for one that i think played at 150. All in all, about a 4.5 hour round, and a lot of fun was had, and I can't wait to get back

The course is almost perfect as they are hosting the Champions Tour qualifier on Friday. The greens were very firm and fast, downhill puts were really difficult. The rough was lush and the highest I've seen it here, very sticky to hit from. The fairways had great coverage but cut tight and had quite a bit of run out from the tee. Traps were very fluffy and in great condition. The course was really busy but should be normal after next week. Enjoy!
