Brookside Golf Club - E.O. Nay Course

We had a great day. The weather was perfect the pace was perfect. The fairways were in great condition and the greens were immaculate . I’m calling it a good morning.

Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in great shape on both courses. It is very popular so it’s a little slow on the weekend. But I would value this course at a higher rating than three stars.

We played in a good pace until 8th hole. At 9th hole, the party in front of us might switch with the party in front of them. Pace of the play was the problem? I don’t know. But since then, we found the new party in front of us was slow players and at 13th hole, we found they are two holes behind. I should have talk to them about the pace of their play, but they were four big guys and didn’t want to have any trouble so I called the course to send the marshal. Nothing happened until 18th hole and some people played behind us gave up to play and went home. 5 over hour play is not happy.

It's been nearly 10 years since I last played here. And sadly, the reviews of this course having terrible conditions are true. This course has been severely neglected and it shows. from the bumpy hard fairways to huge swaths of fairway that is not just dirt. I won't be playing here again any time soon.

I’m a member of the Brookside men’s club and brought a friend out to play course two today. Considering that we just had rain and we’re close to the Rose Bowl. I didn’t expect great things about the conditions but today was pretty bad. The tea boxes were all overgrown, so it felt like you were teeing off out of the rough and all of the fairways were overgrown so even when you hit a ball in the fairway, it didn’t go anywhere. The greens were very hard and since you were hitting longer shots into them, it was really hard to navigate. I am a three index, and so the conditions were tough for me, but impossible for a double digit Handicap. It would be wise to set up the course differently when the conditions are bad to benefit everybody especially when you’re charging $70 around.

Fairways could be in better shape and do all the greens have to be extremely small and sloped from back to front? If you're not below the cup you're likely to roll off and 3 put. A few greens like this okay but every one? If you're not scratch play elsewhere.
