Parking Lot

Conditions were good, considering 3 days ago the fairways were used for Rose Bowl parking. Greens were quick and rolled true. POP for a weekday was slow (5 hours).

soak

There are some areas that are soaking wet. The greens are super fast. The pace of play is extremely slow due to 2 5 somes ahead of us. I play this course 2 to 3 times a year and has not changed a bit. Nice lay out. Some holes have to carry the wash. Green are true.

Local knowledge add 1 club when heading towards the mountain and 1 club less heading towards the free way.

The drought.

The drought has hit this course hard. The greens are good, so are the tees. Many thin, baked out areas. Worst shape in years. Pace was murderously slow. Only got 15 holes in after teeing off at 3:16. Let's all pray for rain! It's a great track and I'd love to see it come back. Can't play there anymore these days. The bad lies cost me too many strokes.

Brookside #2 - decent golf in beautiful surroundings

Brookside is an old, storied facility - LA Open was played there once, and lots of celebrities used to play there...today it is jam packed with players, as American Golf (the operator of this muni) allows fivesomes...greens are always good - very fast and very tricky...fairways are hit and miss - some bare spots - this place is next to the Rose Bowl, and during football season the course is literally the stadium parking lot - it does less damage than you would think, but it does do some...clubhouse boats the NICEST proshop you will ever see, and the grill is great - wonderful views and good, solid food...had fish and chips yesterday after the round and they were fantastic, and at 10 bucks, well priced. They have a real chef there and it shows...green fees at 60 are too much for this - always go with GolfNow here

Slow play on the back nine!

Apparently, the course allows, 18, 12 and 9 hole back nine play during the early morning and if you are playing 18 holes, by the time you tee off on the 10th hole there's a backup due to the slow play coming from the 12 and 9 back nine play. I believe that there should be a more strict limit of players to said back nine play during the early time tee times.

Such slow play I quit after the 16th hole having been on the course for 5 hours

Always slow play here and a course management that knows it but won't do anything to speed up play. Fairways in horrible shape.

Avoid this course

They overbook the course and they do not care about pace of play. Correction, they do not know what pace of play is. They got our foursome out 30 after our tee time. We played for 6 hours and still could not finnish our round. When I talk to the ranger at the tourn about the issues he did not care and said the was normal. Don't waste our time or money.

$th of July at the Brookside

The weather was good and the pace was fair. Since it was the 4th of July, the time was limited due to the upcoming firework preparation at the course. I live a few miles away from the course and I play there some time. I have to warn you that during the college football season and special events(ex: concerts), the the fairways are being used as parking lots. Therefore, the fairways become, you know what is going to be. Overall, I like the course.
