Goose Pond Colony Resort - Lake Course

got rained out gonna wait and see id golf now gives credit for getting rained out?

Love this course and the young man working the pro shop, Donye is his name if I’m not wrong, was nothing but great to us! Good time!

I play this course whenever I’m at the lake. Have played here for years. Not uncommon to see 6 players in a group. Hardly a Marshall in sight. Travel destination so a little tee time attention would go a long way. Still a favorite

Beautiful day for a round of golf. The only thing that could ruin it would be slow play, and that's what happened. The clubhouse allowed fivesomes, and they were on a blistering 5-6 hour pace of play. Playing thru simply put me in the midst of the same, so I tapped out at the turn. There wasn't a staff person in sight on the course to assist the slow play. I probably won't go back. If you have all day, enjoy. If not, look elsewhere.

This is my first time playing the Lake Course at Goose Pond and it was a delightful experience.

The course is well laid out with some challenging holes. Lots of water and tough pin placements.

The course was in great condition considering all the rain we’ve had. Steven in the Pro Shop is an asset to the experience. Will certainly return!

Had the afternoon off, took a drive in the sunshine to get in a round before dinner plans with friends. The course was not busy, but the pace of play was horrendous. And since there was no staff out on the course to keep things moving, it became a 6 hour round kind of pace. I left after 9 holes. I won't be back unless they address this issue by having a ranger/Marshall on the course.

Early in the year with the wettest winter in my time in N. Alabama, as expected some soggy spots, but the greens were phenomenal

Still very wet but very playable and a fun course to play.

To be completely honest, the weather lately has been cold and wet. With that said, the fairways where somewhat “hairy” and there was a lot of matted grass clippings all over; making for difficult shots in many areas. However the greens were in excellent condition and rolled true (sprayed green for asthetics). Tees were in good shape as well. Wasn’t a fan of how the tees were set up (we played white and they were playing long...210yd par 3, YIKES!).

Will definitely play again in the spring/summer though!

The greens were great. Course was still really wet from all the rain, cart oath only. Great time.

These is an excellantly laid out tract with lake views on practically every hole and yet the wrap around lake is never an imposing hazard. It is always well maintained with perfectly rolling fast greens. This course is also one of the most playable in the area during wet months.

If you want a challenge putting, then try The Lake course at Goose Pond. Perfectly smooth, a challenge to read but true, and a real challenge approach putting to that apple-basket. I'll be back regularly. Teeing grounds are all manicured. Fairways are in nice shape, few divots or imperfections. Rough was rough, and grabby [hated it], but all the more incentive to hit fairways. Frog hair and fringes were fair to chip from. Four sets of teeing grounds made it a reasonable challenge for any golfer of any skill. I had to restrict myself to the Blue Tee's, one up from the Champions Tee . . . at 67 I don't have the "girth" to hit it further than 240-250 necessary to play back. You'll enjoy it.

Goosepond Lake Course was one of my first loves in golf, and I have been playing there for 25 years. This past round was my best ever there, but I do want to point out there the greens are quite dry and deceptively fast or slow, depending on the hole. There wasn't a lot of consistency. Otherwise, everything was in stellar shape as usual!!

Hills, valleys, lakes, mountain views – all good – true greens – stayed at the resort campground next door.

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.
