Goose Pond Lake course

First time to play and I wasn’t disappointed. Can’t wait to go back. Hopefully the course will have some more “Hot Deals”. Beautiful scenery with Lake Guntersville surrounding the entire course. .

New Greens

Scenic course that runs along the backwaters of the Tennessee River with views of the Goosepond Colony Marina. Its a little early yet. But the new greens installed last summer should be in excellent shape soon. They were aerated and top dressed this week, but still putted decent. I'm looking forward to playing more golf at Goosepond Colony.

Improvements

Had been a year since playing….The Lake course at Goose Pond drains better than Valley Hill and Cherokee Ridge in late winter, so while it was semi wet it was really just on a few fairways. So this is a good place to play after a rainy week. Upgrades included new barrier posts adjacent to club house and driving range, they have repaired and replaced many sections of the cart paths where roots had made a bumpy ride(concrete replaced). In other bumpy cart path areas the seams have been ground down to smooth the ride. Awesome new signs for directions around the course. These are fairly slow greens but NO bare spots.

Greens are actually brown

I’ve played this course several times and it’s beautiful course with great scenery but the greens were awful. The we’re as hard as cement and brown. There’s no way I would recommend this to anyone until the greens are actually green! This made for impossible approach shots and the speed was ridiculous. Perfect day for golf but imperfect golf conditions. I wish I could rate better but not acceptable for the $50 green fee they are charging. Do yourself a favor and pay a few extra bucks and Go to Gunters Landing.
