It had been a few years since I last played here, so was excited to return. Always a "big" golf course for me. (Because I play the wrong tee boxes, I'm sure) I was surprised and delighted how nice ... Continue »

I rarely play Brookside on the weekends largely because of the crowd and the price but I played today (Sunday) as I was advised we could get the SCGA rate. Played with some friends and we had two tee times starting at 7:00. One of my buddies just payed and mentioned he got the SCGA rate which was $45 to walk. I immediately went up there to pay and was told by the starter that the SCGA rate is no longer and went away Dec. 31. Huh? I mentioned that my friend just got the rate. He ignored the question but it became clear that he was just helping my friend out. I didn’t want to make a big fuss about the person he helped out as he is a very good friend of mine. Just didn’t like the starter’s indignant, arrogant response when I asked about it. Regardless, I was charged $60 to walk. That is a bit steep for a muni in my opinion but one needs to understand this course is managed by American Golf. Don’t need to say anything more! The course is in very good condition however. The rain made the fairways lush. There are bare spots out there but not many. The rough has gotten much better. Some hard pan but quite a bit of it is getting filled in with grass. The greens were very nice. We all knew that would hold good shots because they were soft but they also rolled true. Sand traps were really nice. Looks like they have all been redone with new sand and they are all in good shape. Pace of play was around 4.5 hours. A little slow but I guess that the pace for a Sunday morning at Brookside. It was pretty crowded out there and shortly after our round, there was a college match going on. Nice to see these young guys blasting it out there. Except for the customer service, I really don’t have many negative comments. It’s a long, challenging course and it played a bit played longer with the damp conditions. It does have a nice layout. A good combination of long and short holes with tree lined fairways. Not good to miss fairways here as you are likely to play through some rather large trees. I had a good time and also had a good lunch afterwards but it’s definitely overpriced.

Had an 8:30 match at #1 on Saturday, fought some early sprinkles as the latest storm moved out of the basin, and got around in 4:40 (CPO) for $40 walking (member rates, I'm guessing, since we had a pr... Continue »

Played 12/27 with my club at 9:20 in the morning off the blue tees. Brookside is in peak SoCal muni condition. Fairways, rough, and tee boxes run the gamut from "Hey, that's pretty good" to "Yikes, I... Continue »

For some of you that follow my Johnny_GK Facebook account, you already got some insights into my round yesterday in real-time. btw – I have a lot of fun on that Facebook account.

I normally would never play Brookside Golf Course especially at holiday rate, $75, on a crowded holiday break. So many better options for your buck and time. But could not pass on an opportunity to tee it up with GK’ers BGarcelon and Krajan01 from NoCal. And like many times in golf, sometimes who you play with makes up for where you play which was definitely the case today. Just a fantastic time start to finish, 5 ½ hour round.

Met up with the Brandon and Kish in the clubhouse, had a delicious breakfast burrito and something to drink. Great service we appreciated which motivates us to come back after the round for quick appetizer, delicious chicken quesadilla and beer.

Now onto the starter and first tee. What a train wreck. Long line to check-in, ignorance paying at the window about if they were running on time, which they were not, but of course they said they were. Our tee time was at 10:00am and come 10:00am there were four groups on the tee and they had not even called our name. I decided to ask the guy in the cart behind ours in line when his group was book for and he said 10:02am??? – OK, now I get it, holiday week, great weather and the course was squeezing in more groups. We finally teed off at 10:30am and it’s a crawl through the entire golf course as expected. Still the great company of Brandon, Kish and Tommy made up for the wait times.

As for the course conditions, surprisingly better than I expected. Greens were running fast, holding shots and mostly smooth. Very difficult to read at times and do not be above the hole, especially on hole #1! Fairways mostly thin and after they park cars on some of the fairways for the Rose Bowl Monday, January 2nd, expect them to be more thin, however they provided some decent lies most of the day. Rough, same condition of the fairways with some patches of poa turf here and there greenside to make for some challenging pitch shots. Bunkers in good shape with quality sand. Tee Boxes also in good shape, mostly level, some divot damage, we played the white tees. Overall I’d say the course was in good shape. I posted some photos.

We played the #1 course which I like the layout and its very cool to me to play in the presence of the Rose Bowl, especially with the big game coming up! I even managed to bomb a drive on 18 into the Rose Bowl facility – just glad no one got hurt. The course is long, tree lined, and the greens are challenging. It’s a great test of golf on a mature course. I’m not a fan of only 3 par 3’s and 3 par 5’s. Many of the Par 4 are either very short of monsters. But its nice variety of holes.

Would I play here again? Only under special circumstances like yesterday.
