Brookside Golf Club - C.W. Koiner Course

The layout is fun. Some odd features like those bowl being on the golf course and a storm drain running across the first hole. The greens were fast and true snd challenging. The fairways and rough had little grass.. many completely bare spots.

Of course, there was an issue to be so late for the 18 holes round. They said at the check in front desk there was a tournament so it was going to be late about 10min for the expected tee up time. However, it took more than 2 hours to play end up 18holes. No Marshal to fix this slow play occurred by the tournament team and many of our public tee up time players complained and even called to the front desk or pro shop. It seemed like they don’t care.

The worse point is this is not the first time. I would not recommend this golf course to my friends.

Thank you,

Of course, nothing I’m about to describe is anywhere on the app I used to book the tee time.

First, I checked in at the clubhouse and saw a sign that said holes #7 & #8 are closed. Not because of maintenance, but because there were tents and a stage on the golf course for Oktoberfest. The ninth tee box was still close enough to the noise from the polka band as well as the eighteenth. If someone hit an errant shot (someone did from hole #2) and we couldn’t hear them yell fore….extremely dangerous. Also, there were several holes that were labeled path only. During college football season? Where full size vehicles drive on the course for parking? Laughable.

I previously worked for American Golf and played both courses roughly twice a week for ten years. I’ve never seen the course in this poor condition. I know Troon took over and the city now manages the course. They are looking to make money on concerts and events, and much less interested in providing a golf course in acceptable condition. I will practice on the putting green for free, but I will not be returning to spend a dollar here until conditions change. I also teach golf locally and will be discouraging all of my clients, as well as my co-workers clients to spend any money at Brookside. You have turned a city gem into a city dump.

I recently visited Koiner and to say I was disappointed would be an understatement. The experience was underwhelming from the start, largely due to poor communication. Upon arrival, I was informed that two of the holes were closed for an event—a detail I wish had been shared in advance. As a golfer, planning and expectations are key to a good round, and this kind of information should have been communicated when booking. It’s frustrating to show up and then discover that you won’t get to experience the entire course.

It would nice to know when booking on an app that only 16 holes were open. Thanks for the $10 discount, but I’d rather play 18 holes anywhere else.

You might also want to notify when you’re running “course #3”

Would have been nice to know beforehand rhat the course is used as a parking lot for the rose bowl

Too many part of fairways was either muddy or dirt greens were horrible bunker had plenty of sands

In addition to the construction dust... They put a flag on the fairway without a green... and putt on a place that isn't even a green? How can they expect me to play a round like that after receiving all that money? I don't understand. I want a refund.

This golf course has a good course layout, but it's not well maintained
