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.

Fun time

Always enjoy playing Goose Pond - Lake when I can find a deal on GolfNow. There was hardly anyone else on the course, so it was like we had it to ourselves.
