Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	<span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-family:Arial;font-size:7.5pt;margin-left:0.0pt;text-transform:uppercase;">Principal Strategy</span>
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of investment) (“Net Assets”) in securities issued by or on behalf of (i) the State of New York, its political subdivisions, agencies, authorities and instrumentalities and (ii) territories and possessions of the United States and their political subdivisions, agencies, authorities and instrumentalities, in each case, the interest from which, if any, is in the opinion of bond counsel excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, generally not an item of tax preference under the federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) and exempt from New York State and New York City personal income taxes (“New York Obligations”).The Investment Adviser ordinarily expects the Fund to invest directly or indirectly in municipal obligations, but the Fund may invest in short-term taxable instruments for temporary investment purposes. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its Net Assets in securities the interest from which is exempt from New York State and New York City personal income tax, but may be subject to federal income tax and an item of tax preference under the AMT. Such investments include securities issued or guaranteed by the United States or certain U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities (“U.S. Government Securities”).The Fund intends to be a “retail money market fund,” as such term is defined in or interpreted under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). “Retail money market funds” are money market funds that have policies and procedures reasonably designed to limit all beneficial owners of the fund to natural persons. As a “retail money market fund,” the Fund values its securities using the amortized cost method. The Fund seeks to maintain a stable net asset value (“NAV”) of $1.00 per share.Under Rule 2a-7, the Fund may invest only in U.S. dollar-denominated securities that meet certain risk-limiting conditions relating to portfolio quality, maturity, diversification and liquidity.

Class A Shares | Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund | Risk Money Market Fund May Not Preserve Dollar [Member]
Risk Return Abstract	rr_RiskReturnAbstract
Risk [Text Block]	rr_RiskTextBlock	Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so.
Class A Shares | Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund | Risk Money Market Fund Sponsor May Not Provide Support [Member]
Risk Return Abstract	rr_RiskReturnAbstract
Risk [Text Block]	rr_RiskTextBlock	The Fund’s sponsor is not required to reimburse the Fund for losses, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time, including during periods of market stress.
Class A Shares | Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund | Risk Not Insured Depository Institution [Member]
Risk Return Abstract	rr_RiskReturnAbstract
Risk [Text Block]	rr_RiskTextBlock	An investment in the Fund is not a bank account or a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
Class A Shares | Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund | Credit Default Risk [Member]
Risk Return Abstract	rr_RiskReturnAbstract
Risk [Text Block]	rr_RiskTextBlock	Credit/Default Risk.  An issuer or guarantor of a security held by the Fund may default on its obligation to pay interest and repay principal or default on any other obligation. This also includes the risk of default on foreign letters of credit, guarantees, demand features or insurance policies that back or otherwise support municipal securities. Additionally, the credit quality of securities may deteriorate rapidly, which may impair the Fund’s liquidity and cause significant deterioration in NAV.
Class A Shares | Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund | Interest Rate Risk [Member]
Risk Return Abstract	rr_RiskReturnAbstract
Risk [Text Block]	rr_RiskTextBlock	Interest Rate Risk.  When interest rates increase, the Fund’s yield will tend to be lower than prevailing market rates, and the market value of its investments will generally decline. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk in connection with the type and extent of certain monetary policy changes made by the Federal Reserve, such as target interest rate changes. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from Fund performance. A low interest rate environment poses additional risks to the Fund, because low yields on the Fund’s portfolio holdings may have an adverse impact on the Fund’s ability to provide a positive yield to its shareholders, pay expenses out of current income, or, at times, maintain a stable $1.00 share price and/or achieve its investment objective. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of the Fund’s investments. A sudden or unpredictable increase in interest rates may cause volatility in the market and may decrease the liquidity of the Fund's investments, which would make it harder for the Fund to sell its investments at an advantageous time.
Class A Shares | Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund | Large Shareholder Transactions Risk [Member]
Risk Return Abstract	rr_RiskReturnAbstract
Risk [Text Block]	rr_RiskTextBlock	Large Shareholder Transactions Risk. The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders (including financial intermediaries who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients) purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly, may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the  Fund's   NAV  and liquidity. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect the  Fund's  performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash or otherwise maintains a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in the  Fund's  current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the  Fund's  expense ratio.
Class A Shares | Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund | Liquidity Risk [Member]
Risk Return Abstract	rr_RiskReturnAbstract
Risk [Text Block]	rr_RiskTextBlock	Liquidity Risk. The Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. The liquidity of portfolio securities can deteriorate rapidly due to credit events affecting issuers or guarantors, such as a credit rating downgrade, or due to general market conditions or a lack of willing buyers. An inability to sell one or more portfolio positions, or selling such positions at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, can adversely affect the Fund's ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that the Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, declining prices of the securities sold, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from money market and other fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity.
Class A Shares | Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund | Market Risk [Member]
Risk Return Abstract	rr_RiskReturnAbstract
Risk [Text Block]	rr_RiskTextBlock	Market Risk. The value of the securities in which the Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of  individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions throughout the world due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. Events such as war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact the Fund and its investments.
Class A Shares | Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund | Municipal Securities Risk [Member]
Risk Return Abstract	rr_RiskReturnAbstract
Risk [Text Block]	rr_RiskTextBlock	Municipal Securities Risk.  Municipal securities are subject to credit/default risk, interest rate risk and certain additional risks. The Fund may be more sensitive to adverse economic, business or political developments if it invests a substantial portion of its assets in the debt securities of similar projects (such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities), industrial development bonds, or in particular types of municipal securities (such as general obligation bonds, private activity bonds and moral obligation bonds). The Fund may also invest in municipal securities indirectly (including by investing in tender option bonds). While interest earned on municipal securities is generally not subject to federal tax, any interest earned on taxable municipal securities is fully taxable at the federal level and may be subject to tax at the state level. Municipal securities may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. In addition, since some municipal securities may be secured, guaranteed or otherwise supported by banks and other institutions, the risk to the Fund could increase if the banking or financial sector suffers an economic downturn and/or if the credit ratings of the institutions issuing the guarantee or demand feature are downgraded or at risk of being downgraded by a national rating organization. Such a downward revision or risk of being downgraded may have an adverse effect on the market prices of municipal securities and thus cause significant deterioration in NAV.
Class A Shares | Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund | New York Risk [Member]
Risk Return Abstract	rr_RiskReturnAbstract
Risk [Text Block]	rr_RiskTextBlock	New York Risk.  The Fund intends to invest primarily in New York Obligations. The Fund’s investments are, therefore, significantly affected by political and economic developments within this state, and by the financial condition of this state, its political subdivisions, agencies, authorities and instrumentalities. If New York or any of its political subdivisions, agencies, authorities or instrumentalities are unable to meet their financial obligations, the Fund’s income, NAV, and ability to preserve or realize appreciation of capital or liquidity could be adversely affected. As the nation’s financial capital, the economies of New York State and New York City are heavily dependent on the financial sector and will be disproportionately sensitive to economic problems affecting the sector. In addition, as a single state money market fund, the Fund is less diversified and is allowed to invest a significantly greater portion of its assets in one issuer as compared to other money market funds. Because of the flexibility to invest a significantly greater portion of its assets in one issuer and the relatively limited number of issuers of New York Obligations, the Fund’s performance may be disproportionately affected by the success of one or a few issuers than is the performance of a more diversified money market fund.
Class A Shares | Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund | Stable NAV Risk [Member]
Risk Return Abstract	rr_RiskReturnAbstract
Risk [Text Block]	rr_RiskTextBlock	Stable NAV Risk.  The Fund may not be able to maintain a stable $1.00 share price at all times. If any money market fund that intends to maintain a stable NAV fails to do so (or if there is a perceived threat of such a failure), other such money market funds, including the Fund, could be subject to increased redemption activity, which could adversely affect the Fund’s NAV. Shareholders of the Fund should not rely on or expect the Investment Adviser or an affiliate to purchase distressed assets from the Fund, make capital infusions into the Fund, enter into capital support agreements with the Fund or take other actions to help the Fund maintain a stable $1.00 share price.
Class A Shares | Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund | Tax Risk [Member]
Risk Return Abstract	rr_RiskReturnAbstract
Risk [Text Block]	rr_RiskTextBlock	Tax Risk.  Future legislative or administrative changes or court decisions may materially affect the value of the Fund’s portfolio holdings and/or the ability of the Fund to pay federal and state tax-exempt dividends. The Fund would not be a suitable investment within IRAs, other tax-exempt or tax-deferred accounts, or for investors who are not sensitive to the federal, state or local tax consequences of their investments.
Class A Shares | Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund | US Government Securities Risk [Member]
Risk Return Abstract	rr_RiskReturnAbstract
Risk [Text Block]	rr_RiskTextBlock	U.S. Government Securities Risk. The U.S. government may not provide financial support to U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. Certain U.S. Government Securities, including securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and the Federal Home Loan Banks, are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and, therefore, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. The maximum potential liability of the issuers of some U.S. Government Securities held by the Fund may greatly exceed their current resources, including any legal right to support from the U.S. Treasury. It is possible that issuers of U.S. Government Securities will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.

[1] The Fund’s “Other Expenses” have been estimated to reflect expenses expected to be incurred during the first fiscal year.

[2] The Investment Adviser has agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, administration fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to 0.014% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This arrangement will remain in effect through at least August 20, 2025, and prior to such date the Investment Adviser may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Board of Trustees.
