    I was a little worried knowing we were playing at Brookside considering the awful reviews. Full disclosure, I play LA County courses every week so my expectations are not high. I even play Willowick in Santa Ana occasionally where it's not unusual to share a tee box with a homeless person. So I was surprised when I found Brookside to be a fun and long layout in decent shape considering it doubles for a Rose Bowl parking lot. On a weekday, I paid less than 60 bucks to ride, including the 10 dollar deposit. The fairways were decent enough, definitely comparable to standard County courses. The greens were also fine. A few were recently punched, but not enough to ruin the round. My only gripe would be that a number of the holes were deemed cart path only. In fact, if you didn't notice the warning on the cart and drove onto the fairway an alarm would sound and your cart would shut down, forcing you to back up. This caused us to play a little slower, but nothing huge. In fact, despite a few long 450 plus long par 4's, the course is very walkable. I'd probably choose to walk if I played there again. I think if you go there expecting a country club experience that matches the nearby mansions you will be disappointed, but if you go there expecting a fun round with a few nice surprises (plush carts with nav screens and Blu-tooth speakers) at a decent price, you will be pleased. I was.

    The café is great - good service and a pleasant atmosphere. The driving range gets 4 out of 5 because it doesn't have a cover. There are a lot of golf holes/courses - definitely 5 out of 5. However, the fairway quality isn't always the best - I'd give it 3 out of 5.

    On July 5th, I played a round of golf here. I was unaware that the course had been used as a parking lot for the 4th of July fireworks celebration. Despite having an early tee time, the course should have been closed for cleanup. Cleanup crews were scattered throughout the golf course, attempting to clear the debris from the previous night's festivities, with little concern for their safety. They were at times in the direct line of play, which was concerning. The course was left with tire marks and trash from the event. I was surprised that they were still charging holiday rates, rather than the usual rates. Typically, this course is great for early tee times, and I would suggest that they allow ample time and space for cleaning crews to clear up after events such as football games or concerts.

    Fairway condition (08-2025) also check the sprinkles going off on the left during the round.

    For the price of golf, I'd recommend going elsewhere. Horrible conditions, hit the fairway and be punished with a trash lie or sprinklers going off during the round. The prices increased due to their fancy golf cart upgrades but that money should have been spent on the course maintenance.

    Simple bar 4 starts for happy hour prices. Good cocktails. I was impressed! Stopped by after walking 3.5 miles around the Rose Bowl.

    Just one of the many cow pasture fairways.

    This is what happens when you take a 4 star course then park cars on it for a couple months. Every so often letting people play golf while it's a 2 star course, and still charging the full price.

    good food

    Great place, Was worried from reviews about pace of play but not many people when we went. Went on a Monday course #2. Course in decent shape, greens are good rolling pretty quick. Some fun holes out there. Hit the happy hour after, food was solid for a good price. Will be back!!

    This is a very busy golf course in the 626 area. Compare to other courses, Brookside is a pretty long and challenging course that requires good course management skills. Even par for the ladies is 75. The lady at the starter was very friendly and nice that she gave me some pointers of this course as this was my first time playing here. Unfortunately, I played here on a rainy day, and it was freezing. I would love to come by on a good day, and play again. Plenty of parkings are available, but it could be far from the club house. Carrying your golf bag on a hot summer day might be an issue.

    Beautiful clear morning

    See all

We had about 80 people (including kids) at the event, and though it felt tight, at least the kids were able to hang outside to enjoy the bouncer. I rented the afternoon time frame, so we were given the venue from 2:30-9PM. The only thing that I found weird was that there was absolutely no attendant available at the end of the night. Overall, a decent place to rent a venue if you wanna DIY things yourself.

The territory is incredibly well maintained, with huge mature trees, beautiful flowers, fountains, mini waterfalls, and small ponds where you can see fish and turtles. There is also a lovely grassy area in the center where you can sit, relax, or have a small picnic. Geese walk freely around the gardens, and colorful parrots fly overhead, adding even more charm to the atmosphere. In April, the garden looks especially stunning -- the pergola and trees are in full bloom (I wish I remembered the names of those gorgeous flowers!), and the whole place feels alive and magical. Honestly, this garden is beautiful in any season of the year. You can come here with dogs, which is a big plus, but it's important to respect the property rules: pets must be on a leash, owners are responsible for cleanup, professional photography requires a permit, and activities like skateboarding, drinking alcohol, or organized sports events are not allowed. These rules help preserve the calm and cleanliness of the space. There is also a secondary school located on the property, which adds to the unique character of the place. Parking-wise, we were able to find free street parking nearby without any issues. This is a perfect spot to slow down, enjoy nature, and escape the city noise for a while. Highly recommended for a peaceful walk or a quiet moment surrounded by beauty.
