Greens are the best

Once you find the green, you have a great chance of scoring. The greens are pure. They undulate. So you must read them well. The only problem with the course is when the course is mown, the grass clippings are left on the fairways. The clippings rot on the fairways after it rains. Consequently, a golfer rarely gets a clean lie to launch a second shot. It is very disappointing and disheartening to find a fairway off the tee, and be left with a miserable lie because the grounds crew doesn't bother to attach a grass clippings basket to the mower. This cheapens the golf course and rouines a players mood.

Improvements

Had been a year since playing….The Lake course at Goose Pond drains better than Valley Hill and Cherokee Ridge in late winter, so while it was semi wet it was really just on a few fairways. So this is a good place to play after a rainy week. Upgrades included new barrier posts adjacent to club house and driving range, they have repaired and replaced many sections of the cart paths where roots had made a bumpy ride(concrete replaced). In other bumpy cart path areas the seams have been ground down to smooth the ride. Awesome new signs for directions around the course. These are fairly slow greens but NO bare spots.

Replay $$$

Overall really nice course for this time of yr. Greens were perfect. The only issue we had was the replay cost of $33/person (9 holes) when we only paid $50 for my wife and I total for 18. Reason given was due to getting such a good Hot Deal cost booking on GN for our round they had to charge us more. I’ve played for the past 15 yrs and this was the first time I’ve heard this explanation.

Beautiful day for golf

Course is in excellent shape. Greens roll very well. Several courses around the area have completely lost their greens this year. The superintendent at GP Plantation should be commended on his efforts.

Best Course I’ve Played.

This course has an amazing layout, very fun par 72 course with challenging holes. Course offered bunkers and water. The greens were great shape and played fast. I played my best round of golf ever at this course on August 15, 2022! Highly recommend! I drove 40 minutes to play here and will probably continue to make that drive every week to play this awesome course! Plus for the price you can get on GolfNow it makes it even sweeter! My dad and I played 18 holes with a cart for $50 all in! Go play here!
