Played Goose for the first time today(6/10/07) nice course.
Play was just right did 18 in 4hr 15min.
Greens were in real nice shape. It look like people are fixing their ball marks.
Fairways were nice as well, with just enough rough to make you think twice on club selection.
My foursome is going to put this course in our rotation.

Thanks

June 2nd - Saturday morning round. 7:16 start time - got off at around 7:29 - I don't know why they were a bit behind, but there was no starter out there (that could have been part of the delay. BTW, Goose-people I know you read these comments...the first-tee sign said "Pin Position "B" Today" Wrong-o. It was position "C" I made a par on the first hole, so it didn't cost me - but - still - NO information about pin-placement is better than WRONG information!! :-)

Overall, Saturday had some of the best conditions I have seen at The Goose in a long time! The greens must have improved some since the last feedback - we found them to be rolling - if not particularly "fast" - then at least they were rolling true and fair. Not slow, not "Trilogy" slow, that's for sure. Our entire foursome seemed to like the greens just fine. The fairways were great, as always - but the watering was haphazard - and some of the fairways were over-watered. This is going to cause some problems if those areas are not roped-off, because too-much cart-traffic through those areas will begin to cause tire-tracks in the mud, ruts and damage will follow. The rough was fairly long, very lush - and - seemed to hold the ball up and was not too punishing. I like that. The bunkers were really nice. The last few places that I have reviewed... I have taken note that the "sand" in some bunkers is terrible. The sand at Goose Creek was actually quite good. Very fair...not rocky and lumpy as some places are.

One complaint....nothing to to with the course or the staff...PLEASE! People!! For goodness sake...fix your ball marks!! Waiting to putt, I must have fixed 3-4 extra craters on every green. if you are a good enough golfer to hit the green and make a divot with your ball....you're good enough to know how to bend down an fix the bloody hole!! Way too many un-repaired ball-marks for such a nice place.

Pace of play was perfect. You ever have one of those days where the group ahead of you and the group behind are just perfectly-spaced for your game? The group in front of us stayed just out of range, after the second hole, we didn't have to wait at all for the entire rest of the round. And we never saw the group behind us. Finished the front-side in two-hours - the back in two as well. 4.0 hours on a Saturday! That's the way golf should be!!

Cold beer in the clubhouse, a great turkey sandwich. A super day. The Goose is always worth the drive from Pasadena (50-minutes, door-to-door)

Played the Goose this AM, agree with COCOAM below, greens are Slooooow, maybe a problem in the making as Poa Anna? is taking over the greens, Bumpy, slooooow, ,,,,, Also agree with the cups being rounded, never thought that it was due to not changing location of cups, figured it was those lazy OLDER guys that dip into the cup with their putter and snatch the ball out and leave a nice dent in the cup hole. We place those guys in the same catagory as the dumba**s that spit sunflower seed all over the greens. We also had a LOT of lip-outs. Of course we played SCGA yesterday and then these greens today, Left a lot of early putts VERY short till we woke up. Goose is a very beautiful place, lush, geen, a fun test. I do hope they can save the greens. My guess is they are afraid to cut them close, might lose whats left of the putting green grass. Staff as usual was first rate.

Course in great shape, per usual. The greens were very slow and, since they're poa annua (sp?), it's hard to find your ball mark to repair. So, while you're standing around waiting for your turn to pu... Continue »

Course in great shape, per usual. The greens were very slow and, since they're poa annua (sp?), it's hard to find your ball mark to repair. So, while you're standing around waiting for your turn to putt, look around and fix 4 or 5 other marks. If you don't, then don't b$tch about ball marks next time you play. Also, the cups had not been changed in a couple of days and were rounded on the rims. Makes for lots of lip-outs.

First time at this course. Course was recommended by relative and his was right. This is a nice course.

Condition as good as any I've played in last few years, though I don't play the really expensive courses. A very good value for the money.

Loved the trees, hit some of them. Sand is noticeable but avoidable if you play smart.

Of course, I would not play here in the summer since it would be too hot.

Would recommend buying the course book if you have not been here before. Just makes it better to play.

Will defininitely play here again.

As usual Goose Creek was in excellent condition. This golf facility is easily the best operation in the Inland Empire, and maybe all of So Cal. The course is always in excellent shape, unless they are doing maintenance, and the customer service is second to none. The reason this course is so great can be traced to its director of operations, Ross Fisher and his superindentant. They make sure the course and its practice facilities are in perfect condition, with good teeing areas on the driving range, high quality and condition of range balls, and a large and very well groomed putting green. This place is the place to play during the week and it is obvious by the difficulty in getting early morning tee times. Call very early a week in advance if you want an early foursome tee time. Definitely the best all-round golf experience in the area.

Always enjoy playing the "Goose" , but in all fairness, the greens are not as good as they were just a few weeks ago. Almost as though they forgot to cut them (Very "fuzzy" and too slow for my taste) Otherwise the course is in great shape. If they could just get these greens fast, this course would really be fun to play, with the "fall-offs" on the greens. One of the better if not best of the muni-tracks!

Private Clubs could learn from the Course Super at this track. Great Day. Worth the ride. Only complaint: Slow Greens.
