Goose Pond Colony Resort

I play GPC and GPP once every year and always look forward to it. The greens and fairways are in wonderful shape, despite the lack of rain. The staff takes great pride in providing a wonderful golfing experience for its patrons. Cant wait to come back next year.

Overall this course was in great condition considering the drought. It was a great deal and I will return. The greens were in great shape all rolled awesome.

Course was in above average shape and only payed $28.48 for 2 players with cart. Enjoyed the round and the deal.

Every time I play this course I can't get over how beautiful Goosepond Lake is. Always in good condition; however greens are not quite as good as it's sister course, Goosepond Plantation. I highly recommend both courses for a great golfing experience!!

The course was in very good condition. The Hot Deal rate of $10.00 made it even better. Great course to play for everyone.

A wonderful course for a relaxing round of golf.

The course was allowing a group of 5 and a group of 6 to play on Holladay week end

I play 5-6 rounds a month and have not found more lush greens with soft fairways ever. Course has a great layout with beautiful scenery.

Course in great shape , greens are fast

I have played the Goosepond Lake Course many times over the years, and consider that to be one of the more pleasant courses to play (scenic and not too stressful). This is the first time I have played Plantation course, and I didn't expect much since it is the younger course and no lakes, but the deal on Golf Now "forced" me to take my kids to try the course. I didn't expect much. If anything, I expected a below average muni type course, and found a course that was much more interesting and greens that actually made you pay attention. First of all, I must say the staff was very courteous and even gave us some range balls for this being our first visit. We didn't think they would even have a range. The putting green is flat, but lets you know the representative speed on the course. One of my sons played from the tips, and the course made him use his driver most of the time. He can normally play with an iron or hybrid off the tee on most muni-type courses. Being the first time, I wish we had driven up to some of the landing areas, but we didn't want to be the "plumb bob slow." But, some creeks were just dry (no. 4) and other actually had water (no. 6), which I went after thinking it'd be dry, too. One of the doglegs (no. 16) was much more straight than shown on the card, and I ended up hitting the ball in the waste wood area where I thought would be the landing area. The ball ran more than average, and I was inside my comfort zone most of the time, so you may want to account for that. All par 5's are reachable, but a couple of them had water in front. One of the short par 4's (no. 7) is very reachable over the water. I can see some good scoring here, but you do need to respect the greens, or have a long putt coming back. And , one of the greens is large and elevated enough for you to think about the club selection. Some of the bunkers had sand depth that were uneven so you may want to walk near the ball to check. I sculled one sand shot and learned. Where I took the stance, the sand was deep and fluffy, but the ball sat on almost hardpan with a fractional inch of sand. I checked after that. I plan to make a trip back with more respect for the green, and see if I can have a better round.

Love this course. One of my favorite. A great outing with my son and a special friend.

Picked up great value in tee time prices on Golf Now and made my first visit to this course. Fairly challenging course with a good selection of tees to select from. Tee boxes and fairways were in decent shape for early Spring in North Alabama. Greens were in good shape and fast. Makes me wonder what they will be like in Summer! hole placement was excellent. The course winds through the surrounding hills and very scenic. Staff was very friendly and professional at this course. Amenities were sparse. No pro shop and no restaurant. Can buy can drinks and golf balls but, that is about all. It is worth the trip to try this course or if you want a change it from its sister course (GP-Lake Course).

The course was well maintained with slick greens and tight fairways, also had a friendly staff

It is a nice semi-challenging course. The greens were in excellent condition for spring golf....a bit fast. A course that one could enjoy playing weekly.

True and very smooth greens though rather hard. Interesting course, in good condition and well maintained and serviced (and only early April), and extremely friendly staff.

Course was well taken care. Open fairways. Staff was very friendly as well as the players. One of the better courses I've played for the money. I look forward to being able to go back and play again.

Awesome course. Great layout. Some of the best greens i have played in north Alabama. Very true.

The course is moderately difficult. Several blind shots. It is winter so not as pretty as in the spring and summer.

Great course layout nice fairways and great greens even for January. Beautiful scenery around the lake.

Great value for a beautiful course. Different tee boxes offer different challenges. Great conditions and great practice area. One of the better values in North Alabama
