Tight course

While beautifully surrounded with great views and the Rose Bowl, the layout is tight and lacking terrain or design. There was a lot of debris from trees and little to no water in the design. Very flat fairways with greens so steep with odd pin placements that send your ball back to your putter at twice the speed you delivered it. I’m glad I played there, but I would t repeat. Locals indicated very good member pricing and benefits.

Fun layout, very long!

First time playing this course, had a great time. Found it very fun, and very long...it's actually 100 yds longer than Pebble Beach!

great course for the price

not sure if there’s a better course for the price in the LA area. It’s not too difficult if you can keep it moderately straight. the LA river can give you some trouble at times. Fun course and the greens are back to running fast after aeration. every round has been 4 to 4.5 during week days.

Early tee time

I had a 7:10 tee time and for some reason they put another twosome in my time frame and move me down to 7:20 time without any explanation. Needless to say, still had a fun round with a group I played with. Greens are always in great shape. Fairways were a little beat up but it’s expected since they park people on the golf course for college football games or any event at the Rose Bowl and it is that time of the season for that.

No communication, nobody picking up the phone is the proshop.

Scheduled to play 9-24-23 in the morning. Also, I didn't realize I was competing with a 5k & 10k run. Couldn't get to the course. Good thing we left early. After driving around for 15 minutes, I finally found a way to get to the entrance. I was instructed to go down the hill and wait behind the row of cars. I waited 20-25 mins not moving more than 30 feet. Getting closer to our tee-time and knew we were not going to make it. Tried to call pro-shop but nobody picked up the phone. Made a u-turn and spoke to the security person and they told me that they were not given the correct information to handle the larger crowd. Basically said it was horror show. Not worth the hassle.

UCLA Parking Lot

Be mindful of when you play here - we played on a Thursday after a Bruins football game and the golf course doubles as a parking lot. It was fun, but the course was understandably tired.

First Time

Great course. I was kind of disappointed to see all the tees were all forward. Cut quite a bit of the course. Was not notified until the first tee box it was going to be like this.

Will definitely be back when the tees are standard distance. Can’t wait to play the real course.

Disappointing

Greens just verticut. Tees over seeded. Awful. Wait a while. Might be good in a few weeks.

Rude

The two woman at the starters desk in the golf shop denied my round because I had a spectator. Your web site failed to mention that spectators are prohibited at the course.

Worse round ever because there was no round.

Your web site gets a zero and Brookside gets an A+ for rudeness and their ability to accommodate a guest.

Failure all the way around.
