Good layout, bad conditions

When Brookside is in good shape, it's a great track. Unfortunately, the conditions are horrible right now. Fairways are bare and it only gets worse from there. Not sure if they're on a limited water supply from the fires, but it's in tough shape right now.

The greens were the one bright spot. They were in great shape and rolled really well.

First Time Playing

I have played golf at Brookside many times over several years and I have enjoyed the course layout each time. However, despite the greens, the course conditions of Koiner were terrible in comparison to the experiences I have had before and the value I paid monetarily to play. I found my ball in brown dirt patches on just about each fairway. I hope course management sees this review and acknowledges the this feedback from a customer who appreciates his previous experiences at Brookside. Thank you.

Gone to waste

Wow, they really let this course go over the last few months….horrible conditions. Dirt fairways. Sad what they’ve done…..total and complete incompetence related to course maintenance. On its way to becoming unplayable.

Cow pasture

It’s been a since I last played here but this was the worst condition I’ve ever seen it. Even the cow pastures have more grass in the so called fairways.

Slowest play probably from the terrible conditions and so needless to say wouldn’t be going back anytime soon. Suffered through 9 holes and left wished for a refund but AM. Golf don’t care about patrons like that.

This course used to be spectacular, unfortunately it’s become a parking lot and it’s in deplorable condition. I wouldn’t waste my money again.

Disappointing: and doesn’t need to be

A revenue generating powerhouse that is in really poopy condition. Fairways dead, tees closed off, but hey! They got fancy new carts. Give me a break. Course is parking lot for the Rose Bowl. Idiotic.

Course is a parking lot and beat to crap

This course is used for a parking lot for the Rose Bowl. Most fairways are dead and a ton of tees are off limits because they are trying to grow grass. Awful. Just awful.

Could me but not

Greens need to be rolled. Super soft but good. Tees were ok. EVERY FAIRWAY IS D.S. I’ll leave it up to you to figure out what D.S. means - but it’s not good. And it does actually means if negative stars were possible it would get 10. The parking situation for festivals and the rose bowl is so stupid. Paid $5 for a bottle of water, paid $5 for a first tee bar. The new carts are the only good thing.

Course #1

For $60 it’s a good choice. The fairways were patchy but the greens were in good shape. Challenging enough for 12 handicaper. Pace of play not bad 4 1/4 hr round. It’s an oldie but goodie. I’ve played much worse places at a higher price.

Special Events Ruin this golf experience

*driving range/warm up area - closed

*layout - confusing and congested

*fairways - spotted, burnt

*greens - inconsistent- most very fast

*tee boxes - chunky, crowned, sloped and poorly maintained

Along the sides of several holes and a significant portion of the grounds were areas covered with equipment, container boxes, corrals and huge portions of ground under repair. Restrooms and conveniences/drinks were very few and far between due to the newly formed, crisscrossing layout.

I was sorely disappointed with this course overall.

Mixed bag of holes

The course and staff were really nice, but the layout of holes was frustrating due to a concert

Venue on the course.

Confusing course layout

We thought we would play Brookside for a change up from our regular courses. Since there is some sort of concerts going on this weekend , the couse was not in its proper layout. We actually started on Hole #11 and then we followed the signs for the next hole

What a night mere. People working all over the place for the concerts., parking lines on a lot of the fairways. Restrooms were closed. Driving range was closed, You will not see me there when a concert is going on in the next few days. Too many distractions !!!!! Brookside did not advise us of the modification to the course but still took our $$$ Construction going on when arriving and miles of construction be completed on our way out

I hope Brookside will review this review and off er us something for in compensation ????
