I went to the LA GOLF show and received a voucher to play @CCC for 1/2 off green fees for a 4some....so decided to give the course a try with three of my buddies....

This is a private classic mature tree-lined course. Because of the length, I got to use all the clubs in the bag...Besides some straight forward holes, the course had a mixture of draw holes first 2/3 of the course and fade holes the last 1/3 of the course...As for the staff....very friendly... met and greeted us upon our arrival and because of downward trend of golfers promoted various membership plans..in addition, the starter mentioned that they occasionally have teetimes available on golfnow...Overall enjoyed the experience with the freeway noise being the exception....I will be back....

Won a voucher for two and decided to play the longer of the two courses in Brookside. My brother in law and I got paired up with a single, a good player with an energetic personality made our day worthwhile except for a couple issues regarding this course. Thanks Mike!

First , I would like to start of with the negative. Pace of play was horrible especially for a weekday. The group ahead of us didn't have a clue when it came to ready golf. It seemed like they were not aware they were holding back two groups behind them eventhough they were constantly a hole behind the group in front of them. I am asian and as often as I play around the area I continually have the same complaint about these "asian" groups.

Second, the service could have been better. On the third hole our cart went out on us, so we called the starter to send us a replacement. In order to resume our pace, we decided to walk until the replacement cart came. After hauling my 80 lb cart bag for THREE holes and calling them a few times, our cart finally came. d%mn was I HOT!!!

Another issue was the marshall...apparently the group in front of us were regulars on the course and rather than pushing them to maintain POP, he was very passive.

In contrast, the playing conditions were very good. The tee boxes for the most part was flat and smooth. The fairways were in good shape with some run. Sand was inconsistent at times. The greens are almost recovered from the punching, running fast and true with a few bumps.

Overall, other than the issues I had, I really enjoyed playing this classical course in Pasadena...Besides getting three birdies, had great company and you can't complain about playing a round of golf for FREE....
