Pace WAY too slow

The course itself is decent, conditions weren't great but not awful and the layout is just okay. But I played with my father and it took 4 hours to play 9 holes so we left after 9. Just not worth the money at all.

Pasadena gem

Brookside has been known as one of the best Golf courses in the area. No 1 is a long course, over 6700 from the blues and it plays all of it. Course was in great shape. Greens were FAST, the fastest i have played in the LA area. They were a little bit bumpy, many players don't fix divots, bane of public courses. Greens are not severely sloped but due to the speed, there is break on every putt. Course is basically flat, most greens are slightly elevated. Water is in play for only a couple of holes, but the arroyo does run through the course and comes into play. Pace of play was good, round took just under4 hours. Driving range is off mats. practice Putting greens had just been aerated, so no preparation for the speed. i will go back.

Has become a horrible experience

Steadily declining over the last 5 years, staff surly and completly useless. Tee times on the starter sheet today were spaced at one minute intervals for course 2. Even when walking, staff refuses to take money when you show up, walk away from the window as you approach, and generally dont care if you play or not. Course takes reservations for pre 6 am, yet several times when we booked early times, no starter showed up, and when they do, they put groups out ahead of you starting on the 7 th hole. Classic, challenging muni layouts, now ruined by poor maintenance, and bad management. Having been a steadty customer for 20+ years, will never return. Do not waste your day by playing here.

Green arification

Greens are being aerated, there wasn’t a mention of this before making a tee time for $56. I understand the need for it, but the course should let you know when it’s being done, or knock off a few bucks for the round. Course is in decent shape, tee boxes were a little uneven and everyone was nice. They should have added the arification to the tee time notes is my only real complaint. Hope they do so in the future.

Great course- Late warning about greens

The course was gorgeous. I played the shorter Nay course. My only issue was the aeration of the greens. Necessary but golf now should have let patrons know ahead of time. The starter but by then there isn't much you can do. If anything it made the day more challenging.

If I knew ahead of time the course was an easy 4 star.

late starting tee time

I had reservation on 1:00 P. M. I started playing at 1:50 P. M. due to they couldn’t afford a golf cart. Also, the staff did not apologize about late starting.

No cart.

I had a 1:08 tee time. Got there 12:15.

Waited to be called until 1:45 and gave up and not played at all. Staff at the course was really nice and give me free round of golf next time.

But, no golf today.........
