Brookside resort

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to experience Brookside's course at its prime?

We always recommend late spring or early fall for Brookside. You'll find the fairways lush and the greens running true, without the intense summer heat or the slower pace of play that comes with peak season crowds. The shoulder seasons offer a fantastic balance of perfect weather and more relaxed rounds.

What kind of golfer will truly enjoy the challenge at Brookside, and what's its defining characteristic?

Brookside truly shines for the strategic golfer who appreciates a well-placed shot over brute force. Its defining characteristic is undoubtedly the subtle elevation changes and the meandering Willow Creek, which comes into play on nearly half the holes. You'll need to think your way around, especially on the back nine.

Considering the green fees, does Brookside offer good value for a memorable golf experience?

Absolutely, we believe Brookside delivers excellent value, especially if you book a twilight tee time or one of their weekday packages. While not the cheapest round, the immaculate course conditions, thoughtful layout, and friendly staff make it a worthwhile splurge for a truly enjoyable day on the links. You're paying for quality and a well-maintained experience.

Are there any specific holes at Brookside that truly stand out or offer a unique visual experience?

You absolutely have to look forward to the par-3 7th, which plays downhill over a deep ravine to a well-bunkered green-it's a real beauty and a test of nerve. The finishing stretch, particularly the par-5 18th, offers stunning views of the clubhouse and the surrounding rolling landscape, making for a memorable end to your round.

How busy does Brookside typically get, and what's your advice for ensuring a smooth pace of play?

Brookside can get quite busy, especially on weekend mornings, so we strongly advise booking your tee time well in advance-at least two weeks out if possible. To ensure a smoother pace, consider an early morning weekday round; you'll often have the course almost to yourself and can truly savor the experience without feeling rushed.
