Played course on 13 February 2026. This course is actually a hidden gem. One of the best executive courses I have ever played. Never knew about it and I drive past it every day to work. Course has a full size range with trackman technology. Nice area for chipping and putting as well. As for the course, almost every hole has elevation challenges. Some hole require shot shaping. The bunkers are well maintained, greens are cute nicely and roll pure, fairways pretty well taken care of with minor blemishes. The only reason I don't give this course 5 stars is due to the tee boxes. Ran into a few muddy ones with little grass on them. Other than that, I recommend this course to everyone. If you like to walk, be prepared to go up a few hills and catch your breath.
Played a morning round here and had a blast. Was visiting from out of town and already can’t wait to come back to play here. Fun course to walk.
A really laid back and fun course. It’s quite challenging with lots of hills and valleys. Some holes have almost not fairway and the longer holes have hazards forcing you to play short. The carts, fairways, and greens are all in great shape. The overall vibe is very laid back and working class. The clubhouse was nice and very friendly. The only issue I had was someone didn’t clean up after their dog on one of the fringes of the green. This feels like a pillar of the community. Somewhere for people to get outside and have some fun together.
Goat Hill Park Golf Course is a fantastic place to play, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced golfer. The course has a laid-back, welcoming vibe with great views and a fun layout that keeps things interesting. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it’s a great spot to enjoy a round without the pressure of a traditional country club feel. Definitely a must-play for anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable golf experience.
When I picked up golf during covid, I started going to this course almost 3x a week. It is a short course, and has drastically improved in its offerings and layout over the last few years. Don't think because it's short, it's easy. This place makes you be accurate, decide tough decisions on how you approach each hole. I dedicate this course to make me improve and really focus on honing in my skills vs just hitting a ball as hard as I can (to the right mostly). Go and enjoy.
