Played the Goose Saturday morning the 24th with a 9:15 tee time with a friend and one his friends and were joined by a nice single. POP was right around 4 hours playing at a leisurely pace with nobody in front slowing us down and nobody pushing from the back. The customer service was on point with a very friendly check in, down to the marshals, and the beverage girl who we saw multiple times.

I was a little concerned that the course would be a little soggy with all the rain we saw for the previous week in Ventura County, but the course either drains well or they didn’t get a ton of rain as things weren’t soggy in any areas and no puddles in the traps.

The Review

The fairways were in great shape, the ball rolled out nicely on drives and had great lies all day long, but there were some divots in some of the main landing areas. Played the whites since my buddy and his friend aren’t long off the tees and they were in great shape. A few divots on the par 3’s but that is to be expected. Grass was a great length and always had a flat spot to hit from they do a great job of moving the tees around to keep everything tip top.

Sand traps ranged from being compact to super fluffy it depended on the trap and the lie, but I would say they were all in good to great shape.

Rough was mostly about 2-3 inches in length, but the ball seemed to set up nicely so it’s not like you had a terrible lie and you could get the club on it.

The greens were outstanding. A well struck putt held their lines and the greens had few ball marks. It was a little confusing since I usually play in the morning and the greens seem to speed up throughout the day as they dry out, but for some reason the opposite happened hear and the greens slowed down as it got closer towards noon.
