Hot day for golf

I will give an honest review. The course is in fairly good shape. It is bone dry and the greens are very firm and grainy just as I remember. I am going to provide some free information that will back up the following statement, The course is massively overpriced. Here are some prices of other courses that I have played and the rack rate for Goose Pond Colony Course.

Point Mallard. $40.00

Blackberry Trail. 45.00

Cypress Lakes. 45,00

Joe Wheeler. 39.00

Eagle’s Nest. 37.00

Southern Gayle’s. 42,00

Goose Pond Colony. 65.00

I hope everybody uses this information for what it is worth. Goose Pond is a $45.00 golf course and the public is being ripped off.

Challenging greens

We play at Goose Pond 4-5 times a year and it is always really good. The greens seem to be very firm on approach shots but they give a true roll with the putter. At nearly 60 years old the length of the course is plenty long for me from the white tees. The staff is always friendly and I would recommend Goose Pond Lake course to anyone in north Alabama.

Goose Pond Colony 5-29-2024

The course was in great shape. Fairway grass was nice to hit off of and the tee boxes and greens were also in good shape. I always enjoy playing Goose Pond (Lake Course). The scenery is beautiful, and the course defends itself very well. It does not surrender. You have to beat it fair and square. I used Golf Now/Golf Pass Hot Deal, and my group was able to play for $23.00 each. Thank you, Goose Pond, and thank you Golf Now/Golf Pass.

Good layout, Great value

I was pleasantly surprised by Goose Pond Lake Course. I assumed from the deal I got through Golf Now that it probably wouldn't be much more than a decent goat track given today's insane rates most courses charge. But that was a bad assumption. The course was in good condition and had a decent layout with lots of trees/water/elevation changes. Though the pace of play slowed to a crawl on the back 9 due to a five some (which shouldn't be allowed) holding up multiple groups, I still finished in around 4.5hrs. I would definitely play there again if I get the chance and would recommend it to anyone looking for a decent challenge at a great value.
