Great Spring round

The course was in great shape and although it had been raining recently the course was not too wet and played great.

Beautiful Layout

Really enjoyed playing this course. Tee boxes were in great shape along with the fairways and greens. Views are spectacular and price was more than reasonable.

Good outing

Lovely day at Plantation course. The greens are the absolute best I’ve played in all of north Alabama. Kudos to the ground crew!

2 long

We play Good Pond a couple times a year and it would be nice if they had a set of T boxes between the whites and blues or move the whites up The whites and blues are on the same box Most par 4's you are about 160-180 out on your second shot and on number 10 a par 5 its driver 3 wood 6 iron The only other choice are the red T's not playing them too short plus well you know. Who enjoys driver wood or long iron all day long if your long off the T play the blues But if your drive is around 220-235 your going to be chipping a lot I gave course layout 1 star for this reason i would like to play here more but I like to enjoy my round also.

Excellent, storable greens

The course is in excellent condition. Best aspect of the course are its greens. Beautiful, clean, pure, fairly quick greens. They roll like a billiard table.

Best Staff Ever

1) There are two Goose Pond courses. I missed my tee time because I went to the wrong one...my mistake. The staff at Plantation covered for me and actually put me out ahead of a large group. Even the large group of golfers were extremely nice. 2) We all know course marshalls can have a stigma for being jerks. However, my man was one of the nicest people I've ever encountered on a golf course. 3) Even the maintenance guys (who usually look like they hate golfers) were really friendly even though I play fast and ended up with them on the back nine as they were finishing up daily grooming. As an outsider just traveling through, I was treated like an old friend, thank you Goose Pond staff.
