Never Again

I love playing the Koiner Course (#1), (much better than the bad #2 course) but there is always issues at this club with staff and management.

Long delay in your tee time, very long line at the starter windows, range closed, range ball machine out of order... and poor overall management.

Last weekend I started my round one full hour late after my booked teetime, and the pace of play wasn’t horrible but way too long for me to finish my 18holes on schedule. I had to leave early at hole 14.

I spoke with the General Manager, and honestly he was just a jerk, telling me he cannot see any issue with the club management. It’s too bad because I like the Koiner course a lot, but I won’t go there anymore... like many other players I spoke with.

Rose bowl area

Was my first time playing this course, I am about a 23 handicap, and found this course to be fun to play and not overly challenging. I tee'd off at 6:30, so the pace a play was really good, the weather was great as well, but the greens were really wet and soft making for some deep divots. Would definitely play it again, and looking forward to.

NOT the same Brookside!

Pace of play was NIGHT AND DAY...if you have ever played Brookside before. Usually a 5-6 hour round...but now...we played today in 4 hour and 15min. No five-somes...10 min intervals...HUGE DIFFERENCE! Well done!!

Checkin was fast and friendly. The pace of play was outstanding with the new 10 minute separation. No waiting on any holes! Course was in excellent shape! Food and service at the clubhouse was outstanding.

As expected

Shockingly played 18 in less than 4 hours even having to wait on the crew ahead of us at every hole.

Course mainly in good condition. Some parts of the fairway burnt. Greens in good shape and very quick. Bunkers well maintained.

#2 more wide open and a little less challenging than #1

Great time had by all

Three singles and myself made up the foresome.

All accomplished golfers and we had a most

enjoyable experience. Course conditions very good,

greens held, were quite fast and true. Fairways for

the most part good.

The unbelievable aspect of the round: we finished

Brookside in 3 hours, 45 minutes. Pace of play was

fabulous. Everyone in carts helped: one member of

our group walked. The course was crowded so I

never would have believed the speed by which we

played. Made the beer taste even better after the

round.

Tight Track

Koiner is clearly the pick of the Brookside courses. It is tight in many places and has medium to long length. Shorter par 4's are well designed and greens protected. There is a premium on position rather than distance.

Not enough carts

Had 11:50 tee time, but didn’t get to tee off until 12:40. Not enough carts. Once we got going, the pace was fine. Course was in good condition. Staff were generally friendly.
