BROOKSIDE COUNTRY CLUB (1991)

CENTRAL VALLEY REGION

Members only: 18 hole

3603 Saint Andrews Drive, Stockton, CA 95219

Tel: (209) 956-7888

Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. Even without the usual wind, this course has plenty of water, bunkers, and severe rough. Overall, this is a very engaging test, especially the par 5s. You need to keep the ball in the fairway to have any chance of scoring well. Reciprocal play with other members-only clubs is allowed. From within Stockton: Off I-5, exit on March Lane and drive west. Turn left at the fifth light, which is Saint Andrews Drive. When you consider that this land was once deadpan flat, you appreciate what an artful job was done of designing and shaping this course.

BROOKSIDE GOLF COURSE (192B)

LOS ANGELES REGION

Public: 36 hole: cost $21 - $42

1133 North Rosemont Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91103

Tel: (626) 796-8151

Designed by William P. Bell. The C.W. Koiner Course features traditional styling and long par 4s, making this one of the best municipal tests in the Los Angeles area. Expect it to be crowded. The E.O. Nay Course is shorter and easier of the two, but shares the same attractive scenery and popularity. The yardage listed is for the C.W. Koiner Course. From downtown Los Angeles (about 12 miles northeast to the course): Take the Pasadena Freeway (I-110) north. Exit onto Orange Grove and turn left. Go about five miles and turn left on Rosemont Avenue.
