Greens are recovering from being punched. They are slower than they look, so put a good stroke on it. Its a d%mn shame people can't fix their divots. I played course 2 yesterday, and one of the guys was surprised to see me fix another divot besides mine. I try to on every hole. I guess he felt guilty and started to do the same.

Played 06/08/07. Fairways were in good shape but the greens were VERY hard and bumpy. Five hour round with starting time at 11:15 AM.

I live right near the Brookside courses...but I got burned-out on them years ago. I decided this morning to go check it out, seeing how the courses had just come through the Pasadena City Championships and were supposed to be in good shape.

Well....Old #2 is in great shape. I had forgotten just how tricky those little greens can be! They are running fast, true...not as smooth as they could be - but very nice! Spray-painted the most lovely shade of green, too! The fairways are mowed tight, but they are thick. The rough is long. Real long in spots. Watering patterns are uneven. Some places are downright soggy from over-watering.

There's a big ugly construction zone off the 14th fairway, surrounded by an orange fence. I could not figure out what was happening there.

Bunkers were O.K. - but - right beneath the surface sand was a wet clay-like material that was brutal.

Current GK rating might be a little low. I say it's a 6.8 to a 7.0.

PLAYED ON MEMORIAL DAY, HAD A $32 ALL YOU CAN PLAY SPECIAL. A BARGAIN FOR A HOLIDAY, PLAYED 27 HOLES.
COURSE WAS IN GOOD CONDITION, THOUGH THERE WHERE SOME BEAT UP TEE BOXES, ALOT OF HACKING WITH NO COURTESY TO PUT DIVOT REPAI ON IT? WELL, THAT WHAT YOU GET ON A MUNI. BY SIDES THAT THE FAIRWAYS AND ROUGH ARE IN VERY GOOD PLAYABLE CONDITION, THOUGH SOME OF THE ROUGH AREA HAD ALOT OF BUMPS OR POT HOLES THROHGOUT THE COURSE. IF YOU KEEP IT IN THE SHORT GRASS, YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT. THE BUNNKERS ARE IN PLAY THROUGHOUT THE COURSE WHICH ARE STRATEGICALY PLACED. ALOT OF WHOLES MAY SEEM SHORT, BUT FROM THE TEE BOX, TREE OVER-HANG AND BUNKERS CAN EFFECT YOUR RESULT. THE GREENS ARE IN A GOOD SMOOTH AND MED-FAST ROLL.
IT WAS WORTH THE UNLIMITED PLAY FOR $32, BUT A BIT PRICEY OTHERWISE. I WOULD PLAY ON OCCASIONS, BUT I HAVE PLAYED BETTER COURSES FOR LOWER GREEN FEES.

best shape i have ever seen this course . greens could be alittle faster but not bad. only bad part is they put out to many people on the back nine. we were first off and caught up with back nine peo... Continue »

best shape i have ever seen this course . greens could be alittle faster but not bad. only bad part is they put out to many people on the back nine. we were first off and caught up with back nine people on number eight. two of the foursome shouldn't even be on a golf course. after catching them we waited on almost every shot. played first eight holes in 1 1/2 hours and next ten holes in 2 1/2 hours.

Course is in good shape. Tee boxes were a little chewed up but other than that everything is in good shape. I do agree with some of the members that Brookside is little over price. I can't imagine ... Continue »

Course is in good shape. Tee boxes were a little chewed up but other than that everything is in good shape. I do agree with some of the members that Brookside is little over price. I can't imagine paying $52.00 (including cart) when you can play at twilight or super now that it gets darker later. Super twilight is a good deal. You might not get 18 holes, but 15-16 holes is good enough for me!

I played #2 on 5.6.07. The course was is good shape however, it plays unbelievably slow... 2 hours to get through the first 4 holes and six hours to get through the round. If you are a groove player avoid this course. If you don't mind a long day you may want to check it out. Oh yah... bring a helmet. All the holes a close togther, I heard "FORE" all day long, balls coming from everywhere.

Overall I say it's a decent course that charges to much for a 6 hour round.

Played Sat. 05/12. It was a beautiful day to play golf. Fairways are very good. Practice greens were very fast but the actual greens were bit slow. Quite a few ball markers... I blame on players. Bunkers are OK. Overall average golf course. I still think they charge too much.
Other than that, had a great time.

Played here twilight 5-12-07. This course is being readied for the Pasadena City Championship next week, and the superintendent has done a tremendous job. The course is pretty immaculate. The tee boxes are in excellent shape with the exception of 2-3. The fairways are in tremendous shape; it's been a long time since they've been this tight and uniform. A couple of trees were ripped out on the first fairway, so there is some ground under repair (stumps) there. The rough is about medium height. The greens are in excellent shape - I played earlier in the day out at Oak Valley, and the greens at Brookside were just as smooth and just as fast. In fact, I've played here a long time and I've never seen the greens here in such great shape. Finally, the bunkers are in excellent shape too. Good job Mr. Superintendent.
