Excellent golf outing

The course played very well! The fairways were well manicured and the greens rolled well! I live an hour away but it’s always a treat to drive here for a golf outing!

Goose Pond is excellent

Goose Pond, beautiful layout, scenery is beautiful and the pace of play was very good. Course is in very good shape. Greens were firm and fast. Wind off the river was tough at times, but it helped keep down the heat. You need to play this course.

Mini vacation

I have been coming to goose pond for golf for over 25 years. Course conditions today were as good or better than any time I've visited. Will definitely be back.

Mark’s review

Great course and condition. The only complaint that I have is, it was a very hot and humid day, and none of the water coolers was to be found! Also, no beverage cart was available!

Best of the Best!

This is by far the best course I have played! The fairways are like green carpet with challenging greens. Most fairways are wide which appeal to the average golfer. There are plenty of water ways to keep you on your game. Because of Covivid19 I couldn't rate either staff or off course amenities.

Goose Pond Lake

Tees and fairways are pretty nice. Greens are still recovering from aeration but still roll nice and fast. There are a few blind shots and shot shaping is needed. Personally I prefer the plantation course, but this one is right up there too.

Goose Pond Lake

Course has a great layout. Tees and fairways were in nice condition, greens were still healing from aeration but rolled nice and fast. There’s a couple blind tee shots, and you’ll have to shape the ball a little. Personally I enjoyed the plantation course more but this one is right there close.

Great Place to Play

Great course - great staff. 3rd party online reservations didn’t work out, but Jackie got us out on time anyway. Great place to play, and not a bad drive at all from Huntsville.

Good, wide open course.

Have been playing this course for several years. Usually play on weekdays. No waiting on tee box or fairway. Course is in best shape I have seen in past several years. Bermuda is starting to grow on fairways and greens are in excellent shape. Pro shop closed as is typical for COVID-19 precautions. Great deal with Golfnow.
