Bad shape

The course is in terrible shape and they are moving the holes around because the owner is to cheap to fix the sprinkler systems in play. It’s very sad because it’s in a high money area yet the cheap owner doesn’t want to do the right thing and fix his establishment. They purchase new carts but they aren’t for a golf course they are road carts. No storage for balls yet why does a course cart need a horn and blinkers makes no sense. It’s sad because it has so much potential to be a nice course yet it just has bad ownership. Another course that will be closed down within a few years.

Course on decline

Learned from other local golfers that the course almost closed down and saved by the local residents (which is admirable), but it's not well maintained, the driving range is closed (only two net stations for irons), not practice green or bunker.

Beautiful course

Great topography, nice trees, some pretty holes, greens are OK,, but overall is generally in bad shape..
For a course whose previous glory is well-remembered by the old-timers, it's very disappointing. Many of the fairways are very chewed up, so there's no roll and hard to find your ball. The new configuration makes no sense with 2 "new" very short par 3s. Can we please have water in the ball washers? On a positive note, the greens are decent, the bunkers are somewhat better, new golf carts, the rains have cleared and filled the ponds, there is work being done on the irrigation system. For the city of Brentwood, to have its' namesake golf course deteriorated to this degree, is a shame and waste of what could be a source of pride and great entertainment area of the city. But, I'm ever-hopeful that it will continue getting better and.be enjoyed by many for years to come.

Re-vamped course layout

Not a fan of the "new layout" of Brwntwood Golf Course. Miss the "old layout" which had a great rythm to it.

Odd new layout

Weird layout after some “temporary” (permanent?) changes. What used to be hole 8 is gone…the formerly par 4 hole 9 is now a short par 3, hole 10 is now hole 9. They shortened a par 5 and added a comically small green and repurposed the original green to be another par 3 (to make up for the closed 8th hole). It was a confusing layout. The conditions were okay, fairways were decent and had a lot of roll, greens were generally fine and rolled true (although there were a couple with nasty dead spots). 8 minutes between tee times on a Saturday morning caused us to tee off 20 mins late. Pace of play was slow but not unbearable. 8:38am tee time but finished the round and loaded the car at 1:50pm. $50 on a Saturday morning was a very fair price. I miss the course in its original form and I think they’d need to pump a lot of money into this course to bring it back to its former glory.

Terrible condition, awful new layout

I have been playing Brentwood since the course first opened . Condition has always been an issue , but it is really bad now.
The new course layout is ridiculous. The 15th green and design is the worst I have ever seen. It appears to be a temporary green, but it’s not. I will be shocked if this course is open in 2 or 3 years.

Much Improved

The course has improved very much since I last played 6 months ago. Now the fairways are better trimmed and in better condition. Greens are fast and there are far fewer damage due to ball marks. I am surprisingly delighted by the overall condition of Brentwood.

Course In Poor Condition

This course is in poor condition all the way around. The fairways are decent but the bunkers are horrible and the rough is just long weeds. The changes to the course with the new par 3 fifteenth hole and the rebuild par 5 fourteenth hole is a joke. The quote new green for 14 is worse than a temp green. It is half the size of a small green and is totally bumpy. I would not have an issue with the changes if they had actually build a real green for the hole. It seems like the owner wants to charge competitive rates with other courses in the area but only put minimal money into the course itself. Very poor management for a golf course.

Good Value

Friendly staff in the Pro Shop and on the course.
The course was in good condition except for a few of the bunkers.
The new layout has potential. The par 3 is well laid out but the new green for the par 5 is painfully small and tilted away from the tee making it a challenge to hold even with a wedge.
Pace was slow all day especially. the last3 holes when the two groups ahead of us combined to. 7-SOME!

Poor Conditions, poor service

Went on the day after Thanksgiving, got there and was greeted with no carts and backed up Tee sheet. 250 Rounds booked that day. Back 9 disrupted by course redesign? Constant back up on the tees... Overall conditions not that bad otherwise... Staff was a bit short and not very friendly with few exceptions... Kitchen didn't open until 11 am, so no food...
