Goose Pond Colony Resort

We absolutely loved The Lake course at Goose Pond! Such a beautiful area, each hole offered a gorgeous view.. The fairways were in such good condition and the greens were just awesome. Best course we have played in the Huntsville area.

Continuing my review. I accidentally hit the enter button. The clubhouse is modern, clean, spacious and the bathrooms the kind you will in a Hyatt Hotel, not some concrete bunker referred to by a previous reviewer. True there is no kitchen for made to order food but there are sandwiches, drinks, and snacks.

Now to the staff and course: The staff are friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Despite the summer heat (daily 95 deg plus) with little or no rain, the course is not burned out like so many here are. The fairways are generous, firm but soft, green not brown. The greens are good and recently aerated, running about average speed. The range is big, the carts are good.

The views on the course are very nice. There are a few water features and gentle elevation changes. Tee box graphics and yardages are nice. Water is available every 3rd hole.

In summary, I am very happy I visited and look forward to taking our association there for our outing in August.

Course was in very good conditions, with fast green. The course is a shot making course with some small targets, blind shots and hazards positioned appropriately. I would recommend this course and its sister course the Goose Pond Lake course over any in the area.

Nice playable links style course. Fantastic Mini Verde greens. Like the play it forward tee choices. Hottest day of the year but had great time. Very walkable course in better weather.

Excellent course for the value, conditions were perferct and the greens were perfect! Enjoyed this course greatly!

First Impressions:

This is definitely a low key golf course. For a pair of courses that are affiliated with an event destination and a $40-$50 retail price, I was expecting a clubhouse, but there wasn't one, just one of the generic concrete bunkers selling a few select brands of clubs and balls, and a sandwich if you're lucky. One thing to note, too, is that the address of the Plantation Course is about 8 miles from the Lake Course, which the literature doesn't mention.

The Good Side:
Despite its humble first impression, this course is actually quite well maintained. When I played in early July the fairway was lush, and the greens were in great shape. Despite playing on the 4th of July holiday AND a Saturday, there were not many people on the course, and I didn't have to wait. I was quite happy with my round. I'm not sure I would have paid the $40 sticker price, but the Golf Now special at $15 was one of the best deals I've ever had at a course!

The greens weren't perfect but still very playable. That's only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. Love to play this course so I will be returning.

I had a great round and the weather was beautiful. The greens could use a little more water (difficulty in sticking longer shots).

The golfnow discount made it even better!

Had a wonderful time. We showed up early and the gentleman behind the counter let us go an hour before our t time. The Marshal (ranger) was very friendly and told us the problem areas of certain holes. Even enjoyed a hot dog and cold beer afterward Would recommend this course to everyone! Beautiful view of the lake!!

I've played this course a number of times and enjoyed every game very much. The course is in great shape due to excellent maintenance, friendly staff and a good snack bar.

My husband and I played and loved this course. We plan to play again next time we are in the area.

The Course was in excellent shape! Pace of Play for Weekend Play was Perfect! Marshall easily visible to encourage golfers to keep up with the pace of play! The Snack Bar/Grill accommodates even the finicky patrons. The staff was very outgoing and friendly! I would recommend this facility to anyone! I will be returning on a regular basis! Great job!

Greens were not bad based on time of year. Had a lot of rain so fairways were very wet all in all not a bad deal

Those looking for golf in a peaceful and quiet setting, this course offers golf in a big valley surrounded by mountains. Usually a mild breeze, and new Bermuda greens. This course is only 61 miles from Gadsden Ala.
