Brookside Golf Club - C.W. Koiner Course

I had not played Brookside in a few years. I was happy to see that it was still in great shape. The recent rain had the fairways plush and green. The greens were nice and rolling smooth. The Nay layout, while “short” at just over 6000 yards, is still challenging. Good bunkering, aged trees and the gravity of the waterway that runs along several wholes, means you still have to get it in that fairway. EO Nay is still one of the gems in LA . . . In my humble opinion.

I haven’t played this course in years but it seemed pretty much the same as I remembered it and I would definitely play there again

We did not play due to rain. I could not cancel the booking because I forgot my password I love the courses at Brookside. I haven’t played there in about 20 years. I would love to play there again

Because the Flea Market was there, the 9th Hole was a Par 3, playing 150, because otherwise there’d be too many balls being sliced or hooked into the Rose Bowl from the proper tees LOL. So make a note of it!

The driving range is too small, especially when they have a ¼ of it blocked off for the Men’s Club event on a Sunday like this, so if you had planned to hit some balls 30 minutes before your tee time, you weren’t able. Too many people waiting in line. And on days like this, they should have limited the buckets per individual walk-ups to a medium or something until it cleared, because there were people hitting a couple large buckets and they weren’t giving up their space, even though they’re not getting ready to play out on the course.

The course is ok, it’s in decent shape considering the football season had just gone through it.

Bunkers though….. why are there two completely different types of sand? It’s spread out, some have one type of the old brown sand and others have the new white. Strange.

POP was just ok, started out slow just after noon, but it picked up on the back and we just barely managed to finish before dark.
