Hot, bring water

There aren’t any water jug stations on Koiner so the Marshall was driving around with 5 gal jug of water in their cart a few times (mostly on the front) which was nice, the cart lady was making her rounds too but all her stuff obviously costs $.

Course is actually in great shape for summer, they had a soccer match recently at the rosebowl on Sunday and i don’t know if they used the course as a parking lot but if they did the grounds crew are doing a great job maintaining the course cause usually after football games the course is beat up from being used as a parking lot.

Wait a minute before playing Koiner

Played Monday and fairways were being aerated. Not just small holes but major deep core aeration. Needs at least a couple of weeks to heal. Green good, tees good, bunkers ok. Fairways are GUR in my opinion.

First Time Playing

Slow play!

We were the second to the last off before a tournament, the group in front of us rolled in late, then proceeded to take 5.5hrs to play. The course marshal did nothing to move them along. The guys we were playing with had to quit early because of how long the round was taking. Not a good experience at all. And to top it off I overheard one of the players in front of us saying he shot an 82 when I watched him drop on multiple holes! What a joke!

You want my review even after I couldn’t cancel and did t refund my money ? That’s Funny

Had a golf partner emergency and had to call and cancel about 6 hours before our actual tee time. I was charged $70 and didn’t even play the round.

If it’s the golf app then shame on you. You know you had six hours to fill that great spot. It was only because I couldn’t make it do to outside circumstances- I can’t get a refund.

Don’t need that kind of customer service in this economy

Slow Pace

The course is in very good shape (I played #1) however the pace of play was grueling. I wish a marshal would’ve been available to have groups speed up the pace of play.

Ouch

So I’ve been playing this course for a while now. Was always a good value. This time it was $72! Why the big jump in price?

Guess we will go to different courses until the price goes back to where it was.

Look. Brookside uses the course as a parking lot. Do not gets beat up pretty badly. The conditions doesn’t merit the price.

Also, I put that I wouldn’t recommend this course, that’s because of the increase in price.

Good layout, nice views

Nestled next to the Rose Bowl with hills all around, the views are nice. The layout works well with bunkers set at challenging locations. My only issue was that some of the grounds were overly saturated even though the weather has been dry. On more than one occasion near or on the green, my ball stuck in the ground instead of carrying, and the speed on the greens was unpredictable from hole to hole.

Enjoying. Golf with strangers

Teeing off with golfers you don't know is enjoyable, keeping up with them is a chalange by itself .My thought of play was to shoot under a 100which I did ,and my irons were much better in getting the ball where I had to go.This day was fun and enjoyable playing with these golfers.

Great conditions

Round was pretty quick and the course was well maintained today. Greens were receptive and rough was recently mowed so wasn't overly difficult.
