Goose Pond Colony Resort

Had the afternoon off, took a drive in the sunshine to get in a round before dinner plans with friends. The course was not busy, but the pace of play was horrendous. And since there was no staff out on the course to keep things moving, it became a 6 hour round kind of pace. I left after 9 holes. I won't be back unless they address this issue by having a ranger/Marshall on the course.

Early in the year with the wettest winter in my time in N. Alabama, as expected some soggy spots, but the greens were phenomenal

Plantation Pointe is always fun and challenging.

The greens were excellent and the fairways were wet as was to be expected because of the heavy rains. However, it was a lovely round- as always!

Still very wet but very playable and a fun course to play.

To be completely honest, the weather lately has been cold and wet. With that said, the fairways where somewhat “hairy” and there was a lot of matted grass clippings all over; making for difficult shots in many areas. However the greens were in excellent condition and rolled true (sprayed green for asthetics). Tees were in good shape as well. Wasn’t a fan of how the tees were set up (we played white and they were playing long...210yd par 3, YIKES!).

Will definitely play again in the spring/summer though!

The greens were great. Course was still really wet from all the rain, cart oath only. Great time.

These is an excellantly laid out tract with lake views on practically every hole and yet the wrap around lake is never an imposing hazard. It is always well maintained with perfectly rolling fast greens. This course is also one of the most playable in the area during wet months.

Live the course lay out and really love the new greens

Course was in excellent condition for winter and the greens were absolutely perfect.

One of my 2 favorite courses. The lake course is the other.

If you want a challenge putting, then try The Lake course at Goose Pond. Perfectly smooth, a challenge to read but true, and a real challenge approach putting to that apple-basket. I'll be back regularly. Teeing grounds are all manicured. Fairways are in nice shape, few divots or imperfections. Rough was rough, and grabby [hated it], but all the more incentive to hit fairways. Frog hair and fringes were fair to chip from. Four sets of teeing grounds made it a reasonable challenge for any golfer of any skill. I had to restrict myself to the Blue Tee's, one up from the Champions Tee . . . at 67 I don't have the "girth" to hit it further than 240-250 necessary to play back. You'll enjoy it.

It had rained all week so Course was pretty wet. Apparently doesn’t drain to well but we still had a good time.

Goosepond Lake Course was one of my first loves in golf, and I have been playing there for 25 years. This past round was my best ever there, but I do want to point out there the greens are quite dry and deceptively fast or slow, depending on the hole. There wasn't a lot of consistency. Otherwise, everything was in stellar shape as usual!!

Greens were wonderful (although I found them difficult to read). Fairways were nice. If you were off the fairway, expect to spend some time looking for your ball; difficult to see unless you are right over your ball.

Hills, valleys, lakes, mountain views – all good – true greens – stayed at the resort campground next door.

Beautiful greens – wide fairways – a really good experience!

Course has improved over the past few years. Fairways are excellent. Greens are in very good shape.
