Designed by Brian Curley, Lee Schmidt. Goose Creek has dual personalities. The front nine plays through a marsh, and is a risk-and-reward course where golfers have several options to hitting into the greens. The back nine is much longer and straightforward. You finish your round with a 466-yard par 4 around a lake. All the greens have subtle breaks. From Riverside (about ten miles west to the course): Take Highway 60 west to I-15 south. Exit at Limonite and turn left. Take the first right on Wineville. When Wineville ends, there is a choice of either a sharp left or an oblique left. Take the oblique left on 68th Street, to the course. Good service makes this course a welcome addition to the Riverside County golf scene.
