Reviewed by: FirstFlightFX-101, San Bernardino, CA
Played 6/18 afternoon match with Deepsea14, and met Greg and Troy, for a fun round in good weather. The ‘goose’ is in good all around shape and still a good value.

Counted 4 greens today that had edge repair(sanding) happening, that likely won’t affect play. Greg did Texas wedge roll over it on hole 11 without issue.

I saw a couple high sided fairway bunkers with sprigs of grass growing through the sand that won’t come into play, but catches the eye. #17 tee box is still giggle firm, you giggle trying put you tee into it, but improving and wont affect play.

A threesome comfortably caught us on 5, the Marshall with his clipboard was between 5 & 6 and reminded us that we were 1 minute off schedule. He’s a big guy with a clipboard, a nice guy and on duty…it just gave me flashbacks of my football coaches 😉 We picked up our pace. He’s doing his job to the benefit of all that play this course, kudos.

Hole 18(Eleanor), wasn’t kind to us today…but I still look forward to making a birdie or even a par someday.
Cheers,

Golf Playing Conditions 6.80 GOOD
Golf Playing Conditions 6.80 GOOD

Jumped on a 7:25 tee time yesterday when I saw it and I’ve been itching to get back up here. Check in was smooth and got a little bucket to warm up. Great practice area. Giant driving range, a separate chipping green and 2 putting greens.

Teed off right on time and finished a tick over 4 hours. Marshal said the group in front of us was slow which either they made up ground because they were waiting for the group in front of them. I think it was just a full sheet today.

First off these greens were deceptively fast. They certainly did not look like they rolled as fast as they did. It took a few holes to get the speed of the greens down. I think they were rolling just as fast as when they have some of their qualifiers (or poor putting on my part).

Fairways were very good. Nice coverage. If you want to nit pick there are are areas that inconsistent bare/infilled divot but I don’t think anyone in our group had a bad lie all day.

Generally the rough is down but there were some juicy areas. Generally it didn’t impact any club decision for me.

I was in 2 fairway bunkers and they were both pretty thin and firm but I liked that from a fairway bunker. I don’t recall anyone of us in a green side one.

Started off a little chilly but turned out to be a beautiful day. Odd day too because the wind was weird today. 16 and 18 were a cross wind and 17 played downwind. I can’t ever not remember playing into the wind on these holes. Must have been the wind because I birdied 18, still looking for my first par….

On a side note the 15N was shut down thru parts of Corona so I had to take a scenic route which added some time to the commute. Check the construction in the area to see if there are any closures. I swear they have been working on this part of the 15 for 10 years now. From the looks of it I bet it takes another 10 years to complete. Ive said numerous times the goose is always a great test and i lived any closer it be my go to course. Just a solid track, solid conditions, and solid staff.

Played Saturday morning. Course is still recovering in some places after the recent aerified greens. Especially the greens.

Greens are still a bit bumpy but lighting fast. Fairways are coming around very well and so is some of the tee boxes. Just wished some players would fill in their Divots.

Driving range is also looking fairly well. Customer Service at check in was a bit out of their norm. Sense a little rudeness coming from the starter at the pro shop. He must of been having a bad day. Practice area is coming around very well.

Great time at Goose Creek! Fun and challenging to play the golf course set up for an SCGA qualifier that day. Still having nightmares about some of those pin placements. The afternoon wind added an extra layer of difficulty. I often hear it’s a golf course that is designed to be an easy bogey and difficult par. Well nothing was easy about Goose Creek Tuesday!

Course was in great shape. Greens fast, very firm and mostly smooth. Fairways lush, cut tight and firm. Rough short and not that punishing but you certainly wanted to be in the fairways. Tee boxes (played the blues) lush, tight and level. Bunkers had quality sand and well maintained.

Layout, I just posted some beautiful photos from Tuesday, mostly level, large undulating greens with many false fronts. Fairways mostly wide but miss them and pay the price of trees, OB, brush hazards and water hazards. Even though we rode, it’s a gem of a walker’s course. Tees are spaced next to the previous hole greens and as I mentioned level course. The layout allows those that like playing a high or low ball to score… as long as they are putting well. Lots of dog legs and fun risk/reward par 5’s.

I made the quick trip south on the 15 to join the GK gurus at Goose Creek, following SCGA Mid Am qualifier. I arrived early and took advantage of a decent lunch menu while watching the players play 18 from the clubhouse patio. They also have a nice beer selection, including a great red ale from Fullerton’s Bootlegger’s Brewery.

I haven’t played Goose Creek in 6 years and could not remember much except how gloomy it was for both my morning rounds. The course just pops with sunny clear skies, green forever. They have a large grass driving range and huge practice green, with the same undulations you’ll see on the course.

Course was in phenomenal shape. The white tee boxes were all level with no damage. Fairways were like carpet, with one showing damage and marked off as Ground Under Repair (GUR). The rough was gradual with it getting deeper the farther you were away from the fairway. I found one green side bunker and the sand was “medium heavy.” The greens were just awesome and probably the fastest I’ve played on. They were firm and glassy smooth, but high shots did check and leave a mark.

ALERT:Aeration
Will be aerating the greens 4/1 & 4/2.

Played today as part of the GK Guru group. Really enjoyed playing with Vince, Jerry and Gary. A nice mix of golf games. Vince had a handful of birdies and a great day putting, so that was great to witness as well. The rest of us each got one, I believe. Some very good shots made, and what a good time!

Last off of the Gurus, I think our POP was just about 4hrs, maybe just a few mins more, but was a good pace overall.

The Review

Golf Playing Conditions 7.47 GREAT
Golf Playing Conditions 7.47 GREAT

Received word from Ross Fisher that the greens were very firm and not holding shots very well. That indeed was the case – they were very fast, but did putt very nicely/smooth. Best approach was to guess about a club less than the yardage. Did have at least 4 balls roll off the back after landing on the greens.

Tees, fairways and rough were probably the best overall I’ve seen this year. Got mud a few times on the ball, but fairways were really nice, firm, good lies, and no mushy areas whatsoever. Was in one green-side bunker, and sand was fluffy.

Might try to get back out before aeration in a few weeks time. Thanks to Johnny and Ross Fisher for setting up the great day for us!

Played Tues Feb 26th at 7:30 we usually play earlier but we pushed it back to get warmer weather.

We were a foursome walking and POP was 3:46.  Admittedly it was a bit slow for us as we waited on most holes.

This course is always in great shape and today was the same. Desk knows us and are very friendly. I love the layout here, but have to admit the course is easier and more forgiving than others that we play. Still a great walking course and you know you will always have great conditions, and it is only 3 miles from my house.

Editor’s Note: I only wished I lived that close to Goose.!
