Back 9 slower pace of play

We were the second group of at 5:30 am a twosome was in front of us. We made it to hole number 7 at 6:35 and this is where we ran into problems. Apparently they have back 12 and 9 holes. When we arrived at hole number 7 a foursome was on the green and they were walking. They ended up slowing the whole round down. We couldn’t play through because there were more groups ahead of them. I will not play this course again unless I really need to.

Temporary Greens

I was very disappointed to see two temporary holes on a weekend when I am paying full price for a round. There was no notification when I booked. It ended up being a par 68 instead of par 70..

No grace period

Had my tee time booked at 810am, not only did I get a 5 min grace period the group I was paired with went out at 8am and I had to skip the first hole and meet them on 2nd tee. Yea I was barely late, but I just didn’t like that I missed out on first hole

Aerated Greens

If Brookside had disclosed the greens were being aerated, I did not see the disclosure.

If the greens were punched, more sand should have been used to make them as smooth as possible.

When the greens are in this condition do NOT put every pin position near the edge of the green. ALl that does is guarantee a long first putt and a very difficult 2 putt.

The Best that I have Seen Koiner!

I typically don't do reviews, but I just had to this time. This is the best that inhave seen this course in years. The last time I played this course I told myself I will not be coming back. I was playing with a guy in my group at another course and he was raving about Brookside. I I told him that I will try it again...He was Right! I hope they keep up the great work in making this course the best it can be. I'm impressed 👏

work being done; aeration issue

First time at this course, #2, and layout is fine. Course is under some contruction, so a bit nutty at first hole, which is in the middle of the fairway!!!
Other parts of course can use some work, but overall course is pretty good considering all the rain...
A sign or two would be nice for those cart riders who don't want the cart to yell at you for going the wrong way!
Brad the starter was great, and Enna in the pro shop was very nice, professional and personable!
I don't understand why a golfer cannot check in just a little earlier than 15 minutes prior to tee time. I get the why: cause carts aren't readily available in a large amount. But geez, it's rush, rush rush after you finally check in and tee off at the first hole. Please give a golfer a few more minutes than 15, which is actually about five once you get checked in, get out of the pro shop, load up the cart and get to hole #1....
Look forward to playing again, especially when it is not shortly after aeration has taken place on the greens, which sucks for putting accuracy. Just the luck of the draw, I understand it needs to get done.

Failure to notify the course maintenance

1. The first hole was shortened to 190 yards due to construction.

2. The greens were aerated and sandy. This was not mentioned on GolfNow during the booking. Therefore, the green fees should be reduced.

Greens

My issue is not with the course but rather a suggestion for GolfNow. The aeration of greens should be listed before you are able to book.

Course under construction

Nice scenic layout. Holes 1 and 7 modified due to construction. Hole 1 becomes an almost impossible te shot of under 100 yards over very tall trees on the side of the green. Just call it a warmup and go on from there!!!
