Brookside Golf Club - C.W. Koiner Course

The course needs a Marshall in order to push players through

I typically don't do reviews, but I just had to this time. This is the best that inhave seen this course in years. The last time I played this course I told myself I will not be coming back. I was playing with a guy in my group at another course and he was raving about Brookside. I I told him that I will try it again...He was Right! I hope they keep up the great work in making this course the best it can be. I'm impressed 👏

1st time playing this course and it was great the greens had been air rated and a little too much sand but the fairways were awesome very difficult course very long course but lots of fun I'm definitely going back.

First time at this course, #2, and layout is fine. Course is under some contruction, so a bit nutty at first hole, which is in the middle of the fairway!!!

Other parts of course can use some work, but overall course is pretty good considering all the rain...

A sign or two would be nice for those cart riders who don't want the cart to yell at you for going the wrong way!

Brad the starter was great, and Enna in the pro shop was very nice, professional and personable!

I don't understand why a golfer cannot check in just a little earlier than 15 minutes prior to tee time. I get the why: cause carts aren't readily available in a large amount. But geez, it's rush, rush rush after you finally check in and tee off at the first hole. Please give a golfer a few more minutes than 15, which is actually about five once you get checked in, get out of the pro shop, load up the cart and get to hole #1....

Look forward to playing again, especially when it is not shortly after aeration has taken place on the greens, which sucks for putting accuracy. Just the luck of the draw, I understand it needs to get done.

Nice scenic layout. Holes 1 and 7 modified due to construction. Hole 1 becomes an almost impossible te shot of under 100 yards over very tall trees on the side of the green. Just call it a warmup and go on from there!!!

1. The first hole was shortened to 190 yards due to construction.

2. The greens were aerated and sandy. This was not mentioned on GolfNow during the booking. Therefore, the green fees should be reduced.

My issue is not with the course but rather a suggestion for GolfNow. The aeration of greens should be listed before you are able to book.

Concert construction that makes the 1st and 7th holes into par 3s. First hole is a gimmicky 100 yd shot over 2 overlapping trees and the 7th a 180 yd shot from the fairway. Makes a short course even shorter but doesn’t make the round faster. Greens were good per the usual.

Nice layout in pretty good shape. Holes 1 and 7 are being

Renovated so much shortened with #1 almost impossible to play over trees!!!

Played EO after the rains. It was a beautiful day and the rain had the course in perfect condition. Greens were rolling smooth, fairways were nice, rough cut to a fair height. Had two holes (1 and 7) playing as par threes due to construction . Had to hit over a tree for #1 and & was straight forward at about 165. Brookside is still an LA Gem.

Playing on the course was more walking than driving, thr rain caused the fairway to be wet and slow, The course has construction on it making holes #1 and ##7 to be shorter than what it is usually. So with soapy fairway it is cartpath only ! But had a good day to just get the golf bagand practice.

The biggest problem is the construction that has been ongoing for months. There were alternate tees for 2 holes, much shorter than standard, one of which left a nearly impossible pitch over/through the trees to the first green. Greens were generally in good shape. Some fairways had long rough. Bunkers were sometimes raked. Long forced carry over the construction on 18 also. Slope rating from the whites is not accurate due to small, narrow greens, copious bunkering, trees that guard the greens, OB areas next to many holes, and the drainage hazard. In a year it might be okay to play there again.
