About
Nestled in the gently rolling hills of Gowen, Brookside Golf Course has a tranquil, peaceful location that is ideal for a round of golf. The course opened in 1963 and has been locally owned and operated ever since. The golf course measures to a manageable 6,100 yards from the back tees, a seemingly short course by modern standards. Though it may not be what you're looking for if you want a truly formidable championship course but it provides a good and affordable round of practice. The front nine is slightly less demanding than the back. Overall Brookside Golf Course is gentle enough for beginners with a few strategically placed bunkers to make it challenging. There is also a meandering stream that wanders across a few of the holes.

Home course made a new
I grew up on this course back in the 60s and 70s. It always served as an adequate facility. What Jeff Gorney has done to it has made it a treasure. The greens are big and always cut nicely, but not shaved. Fairways are open and playable but still have a challenge. Hole number 11 is the signature hole in my mind, as nice a whole as there is in the state. I fear this course will be discovered and won't be as accessible as it is now.
fun! fun! fun!
The course is not long but it has a great look all around and there was plenty of trouble to get into if wanted. The greens on the front are small and undulated to make up for the short hole lengths.The back nine appears to be a newer layout so it was nice to have the variety of newdesign versus old design.
I was very happy to play here and had much fun in the process. Will for sure return there some day and GN made the price so right it was amazing.
Challenging but not discouraging
Good course especially for the hot deal I got for it. Greens are fast I couldn't stop a ball on the green to save my life and watch out for hole 12, hardest hole on the course by far.
challenging yet "playable" for all skill levels.
My wife and I are seniors and also new golfers. Brookside is a very picturesque and well maintained course. We found the experience met and exceeded our expectations. We purchased a cottage in the area earlier in the year and will definitely golf at Brookside regularly (Lord willing).
Great Value
This is a short course that plays target golf. The greens run true. You can't beat the GolfNow deals at this course. I would recommend it to anyone
Course was in good shape. Speed of play was good. Course has a mixture of tough and some easier holes. A good value for yur money.
Brookside will challenge your course management skills. The course was in very good condition too. There is a lot of scenery to see and water on many of the holes.
