Fun times at the Goose.
Course plays different than usual right now, as you get plenty of run on your drives on these cut down fairways. Greens are the same, tricky, medium to fast, no real damage seen.
Layout is always tempting to go for it, although smart play is highly encouraged here more than typical places, lots of areas to lose a ball.
Bunkers were the biggest downfall, many were hard, needs much more sand on the greenside bunkers. Easy to bounce your club off the ground trying to hit the sand and blade your ball way past the hole to OB. Take caution here. Practice bunker is similar, so take a few swings in there to get comfortable.
Always a good isolation feeling at The Goose, not much noise, typically groups well spread apart. A fun course, on the must play list for So Cal.

Good times with the LA Golf Group. We were the first group of five, teeing off around 12:40, with everyone finishing before dark. Great course conditions throughout. Greens were fast, yet soft enough to hold most good shots. I saw no bare ground anywhere. The fairways and rough were lush and cut nicely. Fairway grass was low enough to allow for good roll out, but lush enough to give good lies most everywhere. Rough was not penal and I often had good lies with my ball sitting up nicely. Some tees were a little chewed up, but not terrible by any means. I was in a couple of bunkers and although the sand was nice, they could have used more. Cart girl came around several times and alerted us to her last call, which was nice.

Enjoyed a fun round at the Goose this afternoon with the LA Golf Group. $54 with cart is a solid rate here. I was in the lead group at 12:20 with kviser, sr129 and Paisano. All the groups were able to finish before dark in under 4.5 hours. I always love the firm 10-minute tee times here. Keeps the pace so much better overall and makes the round more enjoyable than most courses that cram in as many groups as possible.

The course was in very good overall condition, especially for winter. We played here last year around the same time and I want to say it was a little nicer on that visit, but today was still very good. Fairways relatively tight with a lot of roll-out. Rough cut down, so it was not much of a factor. Tee boxes mostly good. I was in one greenside bunker (1st hole) and wasn't too impressed with the sand coverage. Too thin, especially when most bunkers here have big lips to contend with and major touch is required around these greens. Greens pretty good overall.

Always enjoy this course. Good layout with the tricky, well-protected greens providing the main source of challenge (especially when playing the white tees like we did). I'll be back for sure.

Played the Goose today as a single paired up with a nice threesome. Course is in the best shape of any course I've played so far this "winter". Tees, fairways, & rough are all beautiful and presented very nicely. Fairways are cut down and provided some roll but at the same time they were lush and gave us great lies all day long. Rough is also very lush and green but not very penal. Was in one fairway bunker today and it was compacted and a bit thin. Greens playing firm today but would hold well struck shots and pitches/chips with some spin. I've seen them better here in the past but still rolled quite well at around medium pace. Not a breath of wind today and we were done in 3hr 50min. Love this place! After being fortunate enough to have played here many times over the years I can say that it's not the longest or toughest course but the layout is still fantastic. Not too much trouble from the tees. The course's main defense are the swales around the greens. Scores can be had here if you play smart and take advantage when you get your chances. Good short game is a must!

Played on 1/20/2014 and had great time. 9-10 minutes spacing is the best thing the course management has done, wish other courses follow this. Greens were good with lush fairways. Hole 18 is the toughest hole on the course and lake is a monster, balls get attracted towards water.
Worth the drive and will come back again, try to book online to get best rates on the course website.

Played here for the first time today and I have to say that the course lived up to its fine reputation. The course was in fantastic shape with the only exception being the greens were a tad bumpy, but that could've been due to the late tee time (12:22). The course was very busy today; POP was about 4:45 and we had to wait at just about every tee box, but we still managed to finish. The course played fast and firm with lush tightly cut green fairways. The rough was lush, but very short. I was only in one bunker and the sand was fine. The 18th hole may be one of my favorite finishing holes in the LA/IE area. Very intimidating off the tee with water a long the entire right side of the hole and if the wind is blowing a par could very much feel like a birdie. I would highly recommend this course and I can't wait to return.

Apart from that, the course is in really great shape. As always customer service was top notch.

NEWS FLASH: The Green Fees are going up Jan 1st...all of a measly $4 !! Still by far the best value for your golf dollar in So Cal!

Played on Sunday, December 1, 2013 and found the course to be in terrific shape. Our group truly enjoyed the overall experience including the course layout, pace of play, practice facilities, and the staff. Even though it is a bit of a drive for me, I will be returning.

My only complaints were too few yardage markers on sprinkler heads to properly gauge approach shots and some of the bunkers could use more sand. Can't wait to play it again.
