2 long
We play Good Pond a couple times a year and it would be nice if they had a set of T boxes between the whites and blues or move the whites up The whites and blues are on the same box Most par 4's you are about 160-180 out on your second shot and on number 10 a par 5 its driver 3 wood 6 iron The only other choice are the red T's not playing them too short plus well you know. Who enjoys driver wood or long iron all day long if your long off the T play the blues But if your drive is around 220-235 your going to be chipping a lot I gave course layout 1 star for this reason i would like to play here more but I like to enjoy my round also.
Excellent, storable greens
The course is in excellent condition. Best aspect of the course are its greens. Beautiful, clean, pure, fairly quick greens. They roll like a billiard table.
Best Staff Ever
1) There are two Goose Pond courses. I missed my tee time because I went to the wrong one...my mistake. The staff at Plantation covered for me and actually put me out ahead of a large group. Even the large group of golfers were extremely nice. 2) We all know course marshalls can have a stigma for being jerks. However, my man was one of the nicest people I've ever encountered on a golf course. 3) Even the maintenance guys (who usually look like they hate golfers) were really friendly even though I play fast and ended up with them on the back nine as they were finishing up daily grooming. As an outsider just traveling through, I was treated like an old friend, thank you Goose Pond staff.
Course is in great shape
Played this track a few times over the years. Loved the greens and course conditions. L
Always A Great Experience
Course has picturesque views from most all tees, fairways or greens with excellent putting greens. Course offers a Challenging layout from all tee boxes. Very good reasonably priced food is in the onsite grill. It is my favorite course to play and I drive 35 minutes one way to get there.
Better then there sister course.......
Heard the greens were nice....very firm but putt well....speedy.....Fairways are really nice and the tee boxes are very appropriate even for the ladies.......BTW open the stupid clubhouse......Have to ride 2 to a cart but check in at a window......kinda redneck.......and one sided.......by the way Full rate is overpriced but a good $30 to $35 track...........
Good morning of golf
Had a good time today teed off at 7:40 the pace of lay was good and the course was in excellent condition. The staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.
Great Course with Some Difficulty
Looked around my area for a course I had not played before and saw the reviews for this course. I was surprised how well maintained and upkept the course was. Greens looked like they might be slow but were pretty quick. The greens were a little hard but made the course a bit more difficult as the tee shots weren't too demanding and there are areas you can miss and be fine. As a scratch golfer I played from the black tees and really enjoyed the round. I would recommend going out and playing this course. I'm sure I'll go back and play again in the future.
Great course for all level of golfers
This was my first time playing and I enjoyed it! The course was in great shape and it played excellent. My only complaint is there was no starter so we had to wait to tee off 15 minutes after our tee time but after we got moving it was a good pace of play
Course had “army worms” or the worms that eat root systems. However the grounds crew was doing everything possible to kill the pests. Outside of that couldn’t ask for more. Greens still pure as ever. Little slower than usual on pace for their greens but still nice.
Side window
I’m not sure I quite understand the “side window”……. When we checked in, the guy did not even offer to let us know if we needed any food items or pro shop items we could purchase them through “the window”…….. perhaps the window is due to Covid??? If so, I am having a hard time understanding why the staff member was not wearing a mask, why he stuck his head up to and almost through the window. If the side window was NOT because of COVID, it was a great inconvenience for those of us who needed balls and like to purchase souvenirs. I felt the customer service was lacking. No warning that the greens had just been punched/ aerated. We didn’t know where to return the the cart when we finished. .
Excellent course
Very well conditioned course with beautiful views of the lake. It’s kind of neat how you are seeing the lake on nearly every hole but you only go over a finger of the lake on one par three shot. Greens were fast and true.
