Played Brookside # 2 on 3/28 with a 7:00 AM reservation with my foursome. Fairways are in great shape - well trimmed with minimal barespots. The greens were being aerated. Pace of play was great - 4.5 hours walking on a weekend for Brookside which is excellent. Once the aeration is complete, Brookside should be in excellent playing condition.

Nice track but a very flat course on the bottom of the Arroyo. Greens are overused and bumpy.

O.K. - the "No Smoking" signs are down....our vocal protest has worked for the time being (thanks to all who stood up for personal liberty!!). Nothing saying "no smoking" is posted anywhere that I could see - and - believe me, I looked! So, I smoked cigars of different sizes and prices for 18 full holes. So did my playing partner. Just in case they were still trying to enforce the "ban" - we were prepared to tell the course Marshals that they had better call a Pasadena City cop if they wanted us to stop smoking our stogies!

Anyway, enough about civil disobedience...on to GOLF!!

Brookside #2 was in super good shape - and I've been playing here for 30+ years. Fairways had a couple of thin spots, and some noticeable ground under repair (although not legally marked per USGA rules) areas.....but. overall, the course was pretty green and lush. Rough was not overly long, traps were - well - pretty hard-packed and need to have more sand added to them, that's for sure.

Greens were a little bumpy for my tastes.....on the 12th green I fixed SIX fresh ball marks within a ten-foot radius of my ball (not counting my own!!) You'd think that if somebody is a good enough golfer to hit that green on the fly, they should at least know enough to fix their bloody ball marks!!! Arrrrgh!!

Not the worst greens, but certainly not the best.

We walked as a foursome beginning at Noon....and finished in 4.5 hours, and only had to wait on shots perhaps three or four times tops.

All in all - a good Friday afternoon of golf.

Go. play, smoke!!

Overall (except for the greens) the course was in the best condition I have seen it for months. The rain appears to have really helped the fairways and rough. There are still areas where water gathered and is now mud but overall the course drained well. The greens on the other hand were not very good. Since they are planning aerification beginning March 22 they most likely are not spending a great deal of time fixing them. They are bumpy as can be and not much rolls true. Overall the course was in great condition to work on all aspects of your game except putting, the weather was perfect and the layout is quite nice to walk.

BOYCOTT BROOKSIDE!! END TOBACCO TYRANNY !! JUST SAY "NO!" TO AMERICAN GOLF !! (the course is in terrible shape anyway.....save your money!)

Played 1/18. Couse was in pretty poor shape even considering winter conditions. Greens were very bumpy Fairways were mostly thin. Tee boxes are completely beat up. Some are unlevel. Course is only worth the value if you are paying resident fees. Even then, it's a close call.

Played 12/28 11;27 a.m. Teed off without delay normally they do. In good shape.Green fee $54 little bit expensive for non resident of pasadena.

Played 9/2. Fairways and greens were in better shape than usual. Greens were smooth and cut more closely than normal. I believe the irrigation work has been completed. Great course to practice your approach shots and wedges as the greens are quite small. I think the course is in a little better shape as the Calif. State Open starts this week. Good value if you are a Pasadena resident.
