First Time

Great course. I was kind of disappointed to see all the tees were all forward. Cut quite a bit of the course. Was not notified until the first tee box it was going to be like this.

Will definitely be back when the tees are standard distance. Can’t wait to play the real course.

Disappointing

Greens just verticut. Tees over seeded. Awful. Wait a while. Might be good in a few weeks.

Rude

The two woman at the starters desk in the golf shop denied my round because I had a spectator. Your web site failed to mention that spectators are prohibited at the course.

Worse round ever because there was no round.

Your web site gets a zero and Brookside gets an A+ for rudeness and their ability to accommodate a guest.

Failure all the way around.

Not good in summer

Do not recommend playing here during summer and fall when there is no rain. There is no grass on the course during months when there is no rain and the facility did a horrible job maintaining the course. I would only recommend playing here during end of winter and spring when the course has more grass. Then the course is nice to play. Other than those seasons, too dry and not enough grass. Horrible play yesterday.

60 bucks for this?

Course is in terrible condition. Hope 8 was closed due to a down tree but no one told me that at the pro shop. Grass is brown or it’s mud due to it being used as a parking lot.

Staff is very nice but won’t be paying 60 bucks for the privilege of this course

Crowded but still fun!

A lot of golfers out for a Thursday. Had to wait for the golfers in front of us pretty frequently, then felt pressed and rushed by the group behind us. Not ideal in that respect, but a decent public course experience nonetheless. Loved the GPS course map in the carts. Fairways were not in great shape, but I could tell they were trying to improve them, several areas were roped off for reseeding so it’s nice to see that the course cares enough to work on it. Tee boxes were uneven and could have been better. Not a single ball washer to be found on the Nay course, which should be an easy improvement for them to make. All in all a fun round for only $54.

It was a long time ago that I Played here.

I booked Brookside on a whim, after talking to playing partners from last week.

my turn came after a concert had been held.

The track wondered all over the place.

I joined a good player and another player who was strong but didn't know what caused ballflight, and his girlfriend (?) who went only for the ride..

I had a good round going the front nine, but not so much the back nine.

The mountain scenery was beautiful. I'll be back. Had a good time.

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.
