Needs better course marshaling

I have always enjoyed playing this course. However the past couple of times I have been, there has been no one driving around marshaling the course. For example, when I made the turn to the back nine today, there ended up being 5 groups stacked up...One on the green, one in the fairway, and three waiting to tee off. With a little bit of management, several of those groups (2 somes) could have been paired. No offense but there shouldn’t be that much stack up

Goose Pond Lake Course

The course was excellent and presented some challenges I have not seen on some other courses in my area.

The course, staff and facilities were all excellent.

Sept at Goose Pond

Have played the course 3 times this year and the course today was in absolutely great shape. Fairways and tees were excellent and the greens were rolling fast and true.

My only complaint would be whoever does pin placements. Some locations were too close to the slopes on the greens for the average player. Other than that it was one of the best rounds, condition wise, I have played this year.

The Hot Deals price we played for was unbelievable for the course conditions. Will play again before the end of the year!

Goose Pond Colony

I had a great time playing this course with my son. Course was in great shape and pace of play was fantastic. Awesome value for the money. Terrific layout from all tees. Generous fairways, smooth putting surfaces. A nice variety of holes make this course challenging from the back tees and enjoyable for beginners as well.

Always a treat to play!

As always I enjoyed my round. The fairways are in great shape. The greens were full of sand and as a result putting was a challenge. Otherwise good!

First Time Playing

Super fun course, great layout!!

This was my first time playing here. I pick a new course every year for my birthday round and I have heard good things about this course for years. It’s a really fun course! It’s forgiving enough for a beginner to play but also is challenging for the experienced player who wants to score. I’m a 7 handicap and definitely had to think my way around. I can only describe it as fun. My wife came along for her second round ever and was also very pleased at how she was able to keep the ball in play and enjoy the round. Obviously she picked up several times but not out of frustration. We both really enjoyed it. The greens could be in a little better shape if I wanted to be picky but I’d really have to be being picky. They were a 7.5 out of 10 and for the most part they rolled true and we’re very consistent. The fairways were in excellent shape and the staff are friendly. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to have an excellent golfing experience with beautiful views and a fantastic course!!
