First under 100score !

We enjoyed here with my colleagues in this beautiful golf course. On top of that, finally

I could play under 100, as result that was 96, since I started playing golf since 2years ago. That’s got unforgettable memory in my life. Thank you so much.

THE GOOSE PLAYS LOOSE

FR IDAY IN THE FALL IN ALABAMA IS SWEET. THE SKY BLUE GOLF COURSE AT GOOSE POND WAS PERFECT DAY FOR GOLF. EVERY TIME I PLAY HERE I PLAY WELL. THE GREENS ROLL TRUE AND ALWAYS IN GREAT SHAPE THE FAIRWAYS ARE LIKE A CARPET. THIS COURSE NEVER DISSAPOINTS ME. MAYBE THE TEE BOXES NEED ALITTLE WATER.THE TENNESEE RIVER AND LAKES SURROND THE GOLF COURSE FOR BEUTIFULL SUN REFLECTS OFF THE WATER. GREAT VALUE FOR PLUBIC GOLF COURSE. ONE OF MY FAVORIT S.

Consistently Good

Some people might say that the cart paths at the Plantation Course are in rough shape and the carts are old and dilapidated.

Others might complain that the crackers sold in the clubhouse are stale, or that the course is a pretty pedestrian layout.

But nobody will ever say that the greens at the Plantation Course aren't excellent or that the course is poorly maintained.

That's what you can expect at the Plantation .. good fairways and good greens. And that's why I keep coming back.

Enjoyable, scoring course.

Always a good time at the plantation course. The greens are pretty small, but run purely. Find them in regulation, and score all day. Confidence building course.

Somewhat Challenging

I like this course. The greens had been sanded so putts were not rolling true. Normally are so much faster. Played after the rain and the course was still in great shape. For the price on golf now hard to beat the price

Call ahead for clear instructions!

Thought it was a great value and reserved a time online. Drove over an hour and course looked deserted. No one was around. Carts were lined up outside so we just got in and started to play. Were not going to abandon the trip because clubhouse attendant was at lunch, or so we thought since it was a long drive. After 2 holes a guy comes up and says we need to go to another course 5 miles away. But this same guy was in a cart playing golf by himself! No way we would have figured that out with no one answering phone at clubhouse. Figured out to go to different course and clubhouse attendant said we were lucky they didnt call police on us at 1st course. Customer service was of the lecture type telling us "you should have known!" Lol, i live on a resort golf course in Kentucky and people pay after all the time if attendants are not around or if you play from your house. You can go, but i will have to make sure i have a white guy in my group to go back again!

Good course.

The course is in good shape overall.

Only complaints I have is that the greens are cut too short and dry. It's hard to play any shots close to the green because they would either roll out super fast or now roll out at all.

Second, the fringe was wayyy too thick. Needs some trimming. Almost impossible to chip out of it because it was so thick

Everything else was great. Tee boxes in great shape and fairways in great condition. Fix up the greens and fringe and I will be there every weekend.
