Golf with my dad

Course is in good shape. Greens, tees and fairways are in excellent shape. However, the sand traps are AWFUL. They are totally unplayable. We played on Tuesday. The course is closed for maintenance on Monday. Apparently, that does NOT include sand traps. Also, the course is priced at least 20 percent too high. This FACT may account for the lack of business.

Shot-makers course.

Lots of water on course. Most of it in play. Drive the ball long and strong to give yourself a chance at hitting greens in regulation. Lots of elevation change. Be thoughtful in club selection. Greens are big and tough to gage the break thereon. Pitch as close to cup as possible to give yourself a chance of making a put. The scenary on and around the course is beautiful. Make sure you look up and look around. Enjoy the day.

This course is 30-50 yards to long on all the par 4’s and 2 of the par 5’s for the average lady golfer. It is very beautiful and in great shape. Today is the 1st time I have played it and not sure I will play it again because of distance. My husband loved it and senior men probably would for sure because the course for them overall is only 73 yards longer for them then the ladies which is very sad for the ladies. What makes it even worse is that the Golf Operations Manager is a female, you would think she would be more mindful of the ladies then that.

Goose Pond doesn’t disappoint.

Course in great shape. It’s long from the forwards which is a good challenge. Geese everywhere but on the greens. Very impressed. Played three times there and always delivers a fine time.

Always a good course

The Bermuda fairways were on the verge of hibernating for winter but still in good shape. The greens were excellent. Course was very well groomed. Goose Pond Lake is always a fun and scenic play. Weather was cool (55) but no wind and we dressed appropriately.

Beautiful course

I showed up at the course on Saturday afternoon, the weather was beautiful and I was ready to tee off, but they could not find my reservation. After some checking, they found that I had (accidently) booked my round for Sunday, not Saturday. I was devastated. The staff at Goose Pond (Lake Course) could not have been more helpful. I explained that I had driven 60 miles to play this course for the first time. They spoke with a 'Golf Now' rep (Jack) and explained what had happened. Jack was kind enough to credit my account back, and the Goose Pond staff permitted us to go ahead and play! They also gave us the "twilight rate". Many thanks to Goose Pond staff and Jack at Golf Now for turning a potentially bad day into a great one. Oh by the way, the course was fantastic!! I will be back.

Wide and challenging

The only thing the corse needs is range finders on the carts. Thanks for the golf now app. for having that feature. The course is in excellent shape. Hit out of 1 sand trap. Found the sand to be maybe a inch deep. Oops. Could be just a isolated condition. I would recommend and will play there again.
