Recovering well from the rain. The course is as lush as ever, Rough is thick so beware. Sandtraps are slowly getting refilled. Tee boxes were okay, some unleveling and soogy. Greens, very bumpy and can be slow. The scenery was great and in no time Course 1 will play like a 7.0 course. Great public course.

I have heard many conflicting things about brookside since I have been playing and so decided to finally play the course this weekend. The pluses:
The staff are friendly and easygoing.
The course is in really great shape, especially considering the recent weather we have been having. The Tee Boxes were level, the fairways were lush and green. As mentioned below, the rough was tall enough that I lost a few balls in it even when I knew exactly where I hit it.
The pro shop is well stocked.
The only minus I have is the greens. I found them bumpy and slow. Especially considering how nice the rest of the course was, I was a bit thrown off. In fairness though, there was a sign at the start area explaining that they were in the process of fixing up the greens and so that might explain the condition.
Overall, its a great course.

Brookside, It has been a long time! Over 4 years since I played you last! I am a different golfer and you are still a real test of golf!!!!! The course is very lush and green right now, only small areas of standing water. Greens were good, a bit soft still and maybe a little bumpy? The ruff, WOW deep and difficult to find your ball some times. Brookside is and will always be a little slow because of the 5 somes. Hey is your a single and you want to play 5 somes help you get out quicker!!!! Just remember 2 things golfers, play from the correct tees, your not kidding us and you sure are not scoring from the blue, black tees. Second fix the ball marks on the greens!!!!! Don't be sooooooo lazy!

Brookside #1 and #2 are the best county or city run courses I've played on in the LA/Ventura County areas.

TOOOO slow. Management seems to try to recover from low greens fees by pushing out as many players as possible. On weekends its REALLLLLY SLOOOWWWW

Played 01/17 and the course was not in the best of shape, fairways are thin in spots, greens are a bit rough and full of unrepaired ball marks, tee boxes full of divots and not many are level and the play was fairly slow. While I know it's winter and we have had a lot of rain I did expect the course to be in much better shape.

I love Brookside #1- usually a great course and a great challenge. It was beautiful today...but the course was in pretty shape. The tee boxes were muddy, severly damaged by divots, and often severly... Continue »

I love Brookside #1- usually a great course and a great challenge. It was beautiful today...but the course was in pretty shape. The tee boxes were muddy, severly damaged by divots, and often severly slanted. Some greens were lightening quick and others were slow. My favorite moment was watching two marshalls talk under a tree while the group in front of us was an entire hole behind. Maybe next time it'll be better.

Even though Brookside is almost in my back yard, I seldom play either of its two courses. On Tuesday I was the guest of a good friend, and we got out promptly at 10:00. I have always thought that co... Continue »

Even though Brookside is almost in my back yard, I seldom play either of its two courses. On Tuesday I was the guest of a good friend, and we got out promptly at 10:00. I have always thought that course #1 is very challenging (a 466 yd. par 4?). However, the greens have to be as bad as I can recall. I guess that I should be thrilled with the lack of ball marks (for once), but there are so many varieties of grass on each green that is hard to tell what direction your putt will take. The greens need some serious work if this is to become a quality course. Other courses in the local area do not have the same problem (at least to that extent). The pace of play was great, finished in 4 hours, which is ahead of schedule for that course.

Got 18 in before the rain yesterday. My last posting of course 1 was not encouraging. However to my surprise course 1 was playing pretty good. The greens were a little bumpy but much much better than 3 weeks ago. Fairways and tee boxes were average to good. I play here a lot and yesterday was a pleasant surprise. Hope the rains did not over flood the course.
