Poorly marked

The course itself was pretty nice. Fairways and greens in good condition. The problem my group had was that the course was not marked. None of us had played the course before. Not a single tee marker. We kept having to refer to the tiny course layout on the scorecard to find out where the next tee was located. It wasn't always obvious. The "on cart " information screen did give the hole total yardage, but it is not a GPS device and could not give distance to the hole. It was pretty worthless. Very few yardage markers in the Fairways. We were guessing most of the round how far it was to the pin. Disappointing.

Incredible Value. Highly Recommend

Snagged a deal for $45, and MORE than worth it. Even at the full weekday price of $65, it would have been more than fair. One of the most scenic courses I've ever played, with nearly every hole having water views. Very playable course despite all the water, and pace of play was outstanding. Will definitely be back.

Great Day at the Lake

Beautiful day at Goose Pond Lake. Got a great deal on GolfPass/Now for 2 players.

Pace of play was generally very good, but we were paired with a mother/son pair and she was a new golfer. We tarried a bit and did end up letting one group play through before we got to 9. It seemed there was a break in traffic for the back and we weren't caught up with until 18, so we never really fealt too crowded.

The course was beautiful, pretty challenging, and, other than the heat, it was a great day.

Range balls are a little pricey (only minor gripe).

Excellent outing

Staff was extremely friendly and course was in good condition. Fairways were good and greens rolled well, but had some patchy spots.

Nice golf course that needs some help...

Very nice course, just it looked like no one wants to be there?!... Not much enthusiasm found in the club house or on the course.

The layout is great, and the fairways were in good shape.

The problem was on the greens. Grass was not cut or rolled so you had to hummer each put to get to the hole. NOT good at all.

Sand traps were also left unattended. It can be a great golf course.

Spring Golf

The grass is just now starting to grow this year, so the greens were a little bumpy. Beautiful scenery on this course.

Beautiful course, but greens are brutal

The beauty of this course and its lake surroundings is undeniable. The course is extremely fair, but it pays to be long off the tee. You will need length to have a chance at firing near the pin or even holding the green. The greens are this course's main defense. They all break subtley and/or dramatically. My crazy putting round included 6 one putts, 4 three putts, 7 two putts, and a six putt. That's correct. A six putt. A real John Daly special. Pay attention golfers. You do not want to find your golf ball above the hole, or the "fun" begins.
