Played Brookside #1 for the first time on Mon Sept 17th. I had never been to this course before, so I figured it was due for a round. The walking rate was $22 when I tee'd off at 215. This brings the cost to the same as the LA city muni's.

The tee boxes on the course were really hit or miss. Some of them were badly scared and really beat. Others were in perfect condition and you could tell they were frequently rotated. Overall they were level which is what usually matters most as you get to tee it up.

The fairways were in pretty good shape overall. Some had dried out brown patches, but in general they were even cut and plenty green. I never found myself in the dried out or thin patches so it did not effect my game. The rough was in decent shape as well, not to long to be overly penalizing nor was it easily escaped. The rough also has lots of short hills and mounds, often leaving you with a up or down hill shot. This was more of a challenge then the length of the grass. The rough was mostly green with some burned out patches.

I found myself in a couple of bunkers, and the sand was nice and fluffy soft. It looks like they are taking good care of it. It made my exit onto the greens nice and easy. The one fairway bunker I hit was also in good shape and not compact.

The greens on the course were running fairly quick, and these greens have some subtle break that you may not see the first time you play. I know I was the victim of some phantom breaks. Several of the greens had some scarring, and thin areas but the pin placements were far enough away from them that it did not really effect play. So they are definitely aware of the issue and are trying to keep the golfers away from the trouble areas.

Overall I enjoyed the course, it has a similar layout and feel to the Wilson/Harding courses, but I think the conditions were a tad bit better. One gripe about customer service is that I saw the drink cart once on hole #3. But not once on the entire back 9. I would think that most courses would have the drink cart spend 70% of its time on the back 9 where golfers are more likely to be thirsty because they have already played most of their round. Overall I will play the course again, and look forward to trying out the #2 course.

Good courses but need to improve the condition of fairway. I found a lot yellow areas while I was walking through. One bad experience is my next group hit balls even we are putting on a green.

Overall the course was in good condition, except for the tee boxes - they were terrible, but it appears they are working on them. Bunkers were hit & miss, depending which bunker and where in the bunk... Continue »

If you like 6 hour rounds and the feel of waiting in a line at Disneyland on a weekend bu without the friendly Disney service, this course is for you. I've never seen so many people waiting to tee up... Continue »
