Played there on Apr 20. Greens are slowly coming back after aeration. Some of the tee boxes still are pretty beat up, but at least there appears to be new (and more) sand in some of the bunkers. The rough is getting high a little high as well.

Course is fun, but needs to be better maintained. Most of the tee boxes are beat up. The greens were quite shaggy and bumpy. The sand is not very good in the traps. On the plus side, the fairway... Continue »

Shorter than Brookside Course # 1, but still a nice course to play. A relatively flat layout with heavily bunkered fairways and greens.

Shorter than Brookside Course # 1, but still a nice course to play. A relatively flat layout with heavily bunkered fairways and greens.
A storm channel runs along the side of some of the holes. Some beautiful holes on the back 9 (#11, # 12) make this course worthwhile. Easier to get a reservation to play than course # 1. Fairly forgiving and not extremely difficult (slope at 115) of a course.

This is a more interesting course than I originally gave it credit because it's a little shorter. Most of the greens are small, well-trapped and have enough undulation to cause problems getting up and down. The greens were fast enough today that you needed to keep your approach shots below the holes. Conditions: Greens were fast and mostly smooth. Fairways were very inconsistent. Many bare spots due to the parking for the Rose Bowl game the day before. Traps as usual were inconsistent -- some have too much sand, others have hardly any. I'd still recommend the course, it's short, but you need to hit good iron shots into the small greens.

I guess American Golf does an OK good job - considering that the Rose Bowl parks 60,000 cars on Brookside's fairways every Saturday during the Fall - but I played after the recent UCLA/USC game - and ... Continue »

I guess American Golf does an OK good job - considering that the Rose Bowl parks 60,000 cars on Brookside's fairways every Saturday during the Fall - but I played after the recent UCLA/USC game - and there were beer-bottle tops all over the fairways, broken been bottles (that appear to have been run over by lawnmowers!) all over the place - dumped charcoals from BBQ's in the rough - and the tire damage and ruts and "driveways" have ruined what used to be a great track. It's quite sad. Greens on #2 were not that bad - trick putting and some are small. Hope they get it cleaned up by Spring!
