Played 1/27 with LAGG group. I agree with all the previous reviews regarding course condition. Outstanding for this time of year and a pleasure to play on as compared to the dry dormant conditions typically found elsewhere.

What stood out for me regarding the layout is the many fallout areas on the greens, you have to hit the right part of the green to stay on as balls tend to collect so that you are chipping back up on the green. Great feature of this course.

Pace of play on a Sunday was great at 4 hrs, with very little waiting.

The customer service for our large group was fantastic and it was appreciated. Everyone that i came in contact with was helpful and accommodating. Great facility from the staff to practice areas and a fun challenging course. Wish i lived closer but will be back as its well worth the 1+ plus drive.

THE place to go right now for conditions. After a few days of good rain, this place holds up very nice. Great layout with many risk/reward shots on doglegs. Greens were good overall, with the occasional ball mark concern here and there. The few times I found a fairway, it was as lush and green as I could ask for. In my home down in the rough, it was good enough to hit out of and maintained well. The bunkers that I saw others in looked good, although the one I was in was pretty firm, likely due to previous rain. When I played in these bunkers before, they were great. Fun round and always in good time. Our group waited about every other hole for the group in front of us to finish, yet we still finished just under 4 hours.
The range area is ok, $5 for a small bucket, grass range with a few poles to hit at, only concern is the stalls (wood separators) are a bit close together and you have to matrix out of the way when the person next to you swings their driver. Large practice putting green as well.
This is a place that I will attend upon anyone's request & is valued well. If it's within your driving range, or even a bit out, come check it out.

This was my second time at the Goose. I am happy to say the course conditions are not suffering from the weather. Here we are in mid winter and I would say the course is playing great. There is good coverage of green fescue everywhere. There are no areas of dormant bermuda or kikuyu grasses. There were thin areas in a couple of fairways, but it was not bad by any means. The rough was thick, but mowed to a manageable length allowing balls to sit up nicely. The two bunkers I was in had nice, soft, white sand; perhaps a little wet from the recent rain, but better than most of the courses I play. The greens are challenging with multiple contours and run off areas where you cannot hold the green if you are not familiar with them and hit to the wrong spots. At $54 to ride and a pace of 4 1/2 hours, it was a good day.

It's been quite a few years since I first played Goose Creek, so I was looking forward to getting out there again today with the LAGG guys. The weather cooperated (other than the wind) and we had plenty of fun. After the last few rounds I've played in LA County, the Goose was Shangri-La! Still one of the best courses in the IE for sure. For winter, the course was in excellent overall shape. There were some thin spots in some of the fairways and some brown patches here and there as previous reviews have described, but in general very nice for this time of year. The greens were excellent, too. They are tough here. Huge with a ton of undulation and nasty false edges to put a premium on good shot-making. This course gets a lot of love on GK and it still lives up to the hype in my opinion. We paid a $54 twilight rate which isn't bad for a weekend. Their normal weekends rack rates are more than I prefer to pay, though, but worth every penny for twilight and/or weekday prices.

Played 1-20 and I agree with everything Weeman posted. The fairways are thin and the greens are hard and fast. Really tough to hold today even with high shots. Still enjoyed the round. Pace was right ... Continue »

Played 1-20 and I agree with everything Weeman posted. The fairways are thin and the greens are hard and fast. Really tough to hold today even with high shots. Still enjoyed the round. Pace was right at 4 hrs and we never waited on any hole. The staff is first rate and the range is second to none.
Can't wait to go back next week for the first event of the LA golf group season.

The cold and frost of last week took its toll on this course's usual greenness. More typical golf course winter conditions in the fairways and rough as a result. They are on the thin side and running ... Continue »

The cold and frost of last week took its toll on this course's usual greenness. More typical golf course winter conditions in the fairways and rough as a result. They are on the thin side and running out much more than normal. About 50/50 green areas with dormant stuff. Ditto rough.

Greens are pretty good from the speed and smoothness aspect still. They got very fast as the wind picked up during the day. A fair amount of repaired ballmark damage though so cosmetically they look a little stressed and a few barer spots likely from the cold too.

FYI if you book online at their website (and to my knowledge there is no other way to get a TT @ goose online) they now insist on charging you the riding rate even if you want to walk. In the past, they always took the cart fee off and gave you the walking rate if you wanted to do it old school, regardless of what was booked online (which gives you no other option)

Played Sunday on a cold day with very little wind except for one moment about 45 seconds of high wind and then calm for the most part. It was a very clear day but the temperature never got comfortable enough to be in short sleeves.
The course is in really nice condition as always. I was really liking the greens as they were receptive, with some forward bounce and roll but they were really fast and true rolling.
On some of the tee boxes I found the ground pretty hard to get the tee to go in but they were level and green.

The bunkers were very good.
The poor girl driving the beverage cooler around was freezing, and she really made the rounds as I saw her at least three times during our 4 hours out there.

Afterwards a tall very hot chocolate capped off a great golfing experience.

Tee Time- 11:30 Saturday, January 12th
Weather- Breezy, Sunny, Chilly, 55 degrees
Tees- Tips
Pros- Greens are always a treat here. Ball rolls here like a pool table. This course is known for what they can get those greens rolling on the STIMP and that hasn't changed. Layout is straightforward and thought provoking.
Cons- Winter conditions on everything else. Fairways were tighter and drier than normal. Few bare spots. Been really cold here some days. Bunkers were a bit wind blown too.
Overall- This is about as bad shape as the course will be in, mostly due to bad weather. That being said, I would play here today or any day

My favorite course and it keeps getting better. They are doing tree trimming but no bother to golfers, only thing I noticed is that they are keeping the slopes on the greens shaved so if you roll off the green you are looking at the ball rolling 20-40 yards off the green. Teed off at 7:30 today 1/10 and only had rain the first hole and then partial sun. Course was virtually empty due to the fact that many called in to cancel as they were afraid to get wet, boo hoo. Get out and play.
