Great course conditions

Course is well laid out and very well taken care of. Pretty forgiving when you not so straight drives. Greens are rolling true and fast. Proshop was helpful but carry a golf app. Many of the holes (tees) are not labeled. Carts have gps but didn’t use this as it was slow to catch up with you. They had a small cafe but didn’t try it. Looked like a good selection. Will go back!

Great course great value

This is about as good as a public course gets in terms of layout and natural setting. Course was extremely well maintained in all regards. Pro shop were super friendly. Do yourself a favor and play here. .

Great Day at Goose Pond Lake Course

The day was great for playing golf. The course layout is fun and challenging. The greens had been punched a few weeks earlier, but were healing nicely. The only negative was that the fairways were a bit long and the fresh cut had not been blown off. It was like a short rough. But all in all, a great day and will play again.

Fair challenge, nice consitions

I thought the course was visually appealing, not too terribly challenging and rewarded decent/consistent ball-striking. It’s not terribly long or tight, so big hitters can overpower the course, but you still have to deal with grass-grain and greens grain and putt the ball in the hole. I thought it was well worth the Hot Deal, and if I lived nearby, it would be in my rotation for sure. It was a nice play-in round to the far more difficult and tiring RTJ courses we played. Goose Pond is a very nice, playable course with nice views, staff, amenities, etc.

Nice course

Fun golf course, not overly long, but have to manage your tee ball to have a good approach. Was a hot day with lots of new golfers so pace was average to slow. Enjoyed the day.

Excellent Course with great water views!

Tee boxes, fairways, and greens are excellent. The on areas that need work are the bunkers (hard pan) and cart paths could use a little work..

Nice Golf Course

First time playing Goose Pond Plantation. Even though the greens appeared recently aerated, they were still in good shape, even fast.

Loved the generous fairways, with some great water shots. My only negative was a couple of the sand hazards were red clay, zero sand. Very hard on the clubs.

We will definitely be playing this course again in the near future.
