Greens were beautiful

tough course conditions across north eastern Alabama because of last winter freeze damage ... but this course has rebounded substantially ... tee boxes and fairways were good ... greens were great ... best value around

Hot day for golf

I will give an honest review. The course is in fairly good shape. It is bone dry and the greens are very firm and grainy just as I remember. I am going to provide some free information that will back up the following statement, The course is massively overpriced. Here are some prices of other courses that I have played and the rack rate for Goose Pond Colony Course.

Point Mallard. $40.00

Blackberry Trail. 45.00

Cypress Lakes. 45,00

Joe Wheeler. 39.00

Eagle’s Nest. 37.00

Southern Gayle’s. 42,00

Goose Pond Colony. 65.00

I hope everybody uses this information for what it is worth. Goose Pond is a $45.00 golf course and the public is being ripped off.

Challenging greens

We play at Goose Pond 4-5 times a year and it is always really good. The greens seem to be very firm on approach shots but they give a true roll with the putter. At nearly 60 years old the length of the course is plenty long for me from the white tees. The staff is always friendly and I would recommend Goose Pond Lake course to anyone in north Alabama.

Goose Pond Colony 5-29-2024

The course was in great shape. Fairway grass was nice to hit off of and the tee boxes and greens were also in good shape. I always enjoy playing Goose Pond (Lake Course). The scenery is beautiful, and the course defends itself very well. It does not surrender. You have to beat it fair and square. I used Golf Now/Golf Pass Hot Deal, and my group was able to play for $23.00 each. Thank you, Goose Pond, and thank you Golf Now/Golf Pass.
