Will not be returning!

This is my first time leaving a review, and unfortunately it is because I want to warn others. This is the second time I have paid for 18 and left at the turn. For starters, we showed up early to hit the range, but was told we could get right on if we made our way to the first tee box. That was a complete lie, as there were two pairs, waiting to tee off in front of us. Even before the drastic wait began, while I was loading my bags to the cart, there was a fight breaking out right in front of the club house.

Between seeing people playing with their shirt off as if it were a nascar race, and taking 3 hours to complete 9 holes, there is no way I will be returning to this course!

Great layout!

First time at this course. Fun layout. A lot of character. Many holes where you can not see the green from the tee box. Tee boxes were worn down but to be expected at the end of the season. Great value. Looking forward to playing this one again.

A bit of a long drive to the course but it was in fairly good condition and friendly staff! Short holes and fairly easy for an average golfer

Course needs work

Pretty standard layout, some challenges, some easy holes. Course needs maintenance, traps haven't been raked or sand added, weeds growing in them. Pace of play was super slow, we teed off 45 min past our time as we had 3 groups at box waiting . Staff was friendly, but they appeared short on staff.

Horrible pace

There was like 5 groups taking an hour on a hole. Not a bad course but I’d rather pay more money to not play 18 in 7 hours.

18 on a hot day

We enjoy playing Brookside. We knew when we booked our round that it was a hot weather day. There was NO water in either of the course coolers. The course is in decent shape considering the recent hot weather. Some of the tee boxes are pretty rough.

Brookside Beauty

We always enjoy playing Brookside. This year, they've switched the nines making it even more enjoyable for golfers only playing nine holes. We love the layout, the wide variety of challenges and the natural setting. Thanks Brookside for a great golf experience!

HELP!!!

I used to live in the area and played this course frequently. It used to be a nice course.. My wife and I played yesterday and the course was in horrible shape. Fairways were brown and the greens were even worse. Keep in mind that we have had a lot of rain lately which would lead me to believe the course would be in decent shape. The sand traps were hard, nobody rakes the traps. In fact I did not even see a rake on the course. The sand is hard and not playable. Oh, nobody replaces ball marks on the greens either. This course needs help.

Terrible experience

short course, but "all the pins" were set 6 feet or less from the edge of the green on the short side. Greens are a joke. Imagine how that slowed the pace of play. Myself and partner are single digit handicappers and 7 times we hit good shots from less than 100 yards and made double. Don't waste your time. We paid $17 and it was $17 too much.

Horrible course!

This course was in horrible condition! I would not recommend to anyone! The greens were all tore up, fairways had not been mowed! They must have had a huge outing the night before and never cleaned up from it! There was a hole that had 9 flags on the green. Which one do you choose? The pin placement in the greens were s joke! There was no ranger on the course to move groups along....at one point we had 4 groups backed up at the tee box! I called the clubhouse and they said well maybe the group will let you play through.....really! Did you not hear me....there are 4 groups in front of us on the tee box, sure I just pass all of them! Duh!!!

Course was in great shape. Pace of play was great once we played through a slow three-some.

Incredible value for what we paid on GolfNow.
