Nay Course 3-20-23

The course was in great condition aside from the two holes being renovated. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were all well maintained. Pace of play was fantastic. Never had to wait to tee off or hit from the fairway.

Played the Ney course

Probably the last time I play that course. The city of Pasadena decided to make an outdoor stage on the first hole and 18th fairway. They didn’t have any notice and the first hole played 85 yards with 2 trees in front of you. The 7th hole is now playing a par 3 as well. It really made the round sour from the get go. If you can get out on the bigger course that’s great. But I’m not paying weekend rates to play a chopped down course. The par 70 is now par 68. Was pretty lame.

Beware of Course #2 Problems Right Now

Played Brookside Course #2 on Sunday March 5. My advice is to stay away if you care about trying to play a regulation 18 hole golf course. Without any prior warning at time of booking, I arrived to find that they are doing major construction on the fairway of the first hole. The mysterious sign posted at check-in was "Holes #1 and #7 teebox is on #7 fairway". Hard to even understand what that means (especially at 5:50 am in the dark), but basically they have ruined the experience on both holes #1 AND #7 by putting a makeshift tee area on the fairway on #7. So the first hole becomes a weird 80-yard par-3 (who knows?) with a large tree directly in the line towards the green, and #7 also becomes shortened to a 160-yard whatever hole. They just don't seem to care about the golf experience for those who want to play course #2 right now. Oh well. The rest of the holes seemed ok. Some greens were oddly unfair with putts that would literally go in full reverse after being putted up the slope and back down to your feet. I wasted a couple hours this morning before I just walked off and decided that it wasn't worth the time, so hope this helps anyone out there. Call the pro shop and find out what the situation is before you play if you must.

Snowcapped Mtns 3/2/23 210pm

Completed 18 just in time. Never felt rushed. Teed off 210pm with cart. Waited on a couple of tees and fairways but was surprised with the swift pace of play overall. Course in great shape, Most importantly tho, Greens are slick and smooth. Will be back soon!

Beautiful course

Loved the course, pace was good, we completed in 4.5 hours.

If you plan on using the driving range be careful as there is always a long line so show up early.

So you think you can putt!

The greens are very tricky and unpredictably fast for this muni. Number 10 green shot in the middle will roll your regulation off in the front. Best thing was the Golf Now Hot Deal in the early morning!

Bad Experience

This course is located in my neighborhood. I hardly ever play there because of how difficult it is to get a tee time. I usually won’t even use their range because they allow people to monopolize the hitting mats for 3-4 buckets of balls in a row and allow others to share and hand of mats to their friends. This last Sunday got there 45 minutes early and couldn’t warm up on the range because of this. Regardless, once the round started, we were backed up at hole 2 through 18. The round ran 1 hour and 8 minutes behind. No Marshall had any solve or put in any effort to help the issue. When I brought it up he said there was nothing he could do. How about asking people to pick up the pace and/or pick up their ball after 6-7 strokes? Plan on a 6 hour round + at Brookside. Plus, ball marks all over the green, sand unrated, tee box in bad shape. No etiquette at all. Wow.

Brookside The Best in L A

On the number 2 course Nay holes 1 and 18 have the temporary RoseBowl parking which is concrete with sand gravel. I drove my tee shots down the fairway but had to play the second shot from the rough. Hopefully they’ll cover the parking lot with grass. Other than that everyone that works there are very nice and helpful.

Great Course but Challenging

This course was beautiful and well maintained. It is however punishing if it is your first time playing. We had not played since they redesigned the course and this new course really forces you to be precise.

A day of golf

Playing at Brookside is fun , they pair you up with other players if you want, which is nice. The staff very friendly to your needs, the pace of play is ok if you play early.The golfers ate nice., if you are a single they let you play thru so you can keep the flow of play. Had fun and enjoyed the company.
