The Brookside Club

This course has to be my favorite course around. Conditions were absolutely perfect, the club house and the food were top notch and the staff were top notch! It was such a perfect day I inquired about a membership!

Puddles everywhere. Driving rain. Cart path only which was near impossible for my elderly friend to navigate. Only made it through 7 holes before everyone on the course came in. Ridiculous that this place was even open for play today. Just an awful money grab. Embarassing.

So many things went wrong on this course involving the Starter, Course Marshall, and Clubhouse so I will create a list rather than paint a story.

- Course does not have "quick snacks" as most public courses I've played (hot dogs, grab-n-go sandwiches, burritos, etc)

- Starter noted our tee time, and wrote the wrong cart number down, then sent a party with a later tee time before us due to this error.

- Starter also allowed SIXTEEN (16) guys tee off simultaneously. The group booked 4 foursomes from 12-1248, but didn't tee off until until 1230, where they took a group photo on the first tee box and played together the whole round (you can already see where this is going)

- We had a 12:48 tee time but didn't get to tee off until 1:30.

- first 9 holes took 3.5 hours. Despite repeated calls to the clubhouse of how the group in front was having closest to the flag competitions, and putt offs. There was a 2-3 cart wait in front of us every hole (remember, we had the tee time after them? the starter started 2 goups ahead of us because he "forgot" about us checking in and didn't correct his error at the start) total play time was 6.5 hours. If it wasn't for the 2 great guys we were paired with, we would've left early but they were a good time.

- bev cart had 5 "regular" beers (bud, mich ultra, bud light, heineken, modelo) and 5 IPAs, titos, rum, and only a handful of mixers (sprite and cranberry). left at 3pm so we didn't have a bev cart for the back half of our 6.5-hour day.

-the course does not return to the clubhouse at the turn, but they have a food truck at 9, which conveniently closed at 4 pm as we were finishing the 8th hole, so no food was available at all throughout the afternoon.

- Tee boxes were SOLID (as in you could NOT put a tee in) and greens had plenty of weeds poking through to make every putt read irrelevant.

overall, the worst experience of the year so far. DO NOT waste your time or money here. The location is NOT good, it's an inland course on Cape code - go figure. You get a "peek" at Buzzards Bay as you tee off on 1, but once you go down the hill, you're pretty much in inland Massachusetts.

Course in Excellent condition, but a little soggy in low lying areas.

Greens were very fast.

Overall, excellent golf for the price.

The course was beautiful and te greens were fast and smooth

Great fun to play on this course but lacking water on course which is tough on a hot day. They offer water to purchase before playing. Slow play no rangers
