Brookside Golf Course is a municipalgolf facility located inPasadena, California, United States. Adjacent to theRose Bowl stadium in the city's Arroyo Seco Natural Park,[5] the 36-hole facility offers the C.W. Koiner Course (#1) and the shorter E.O. Nay Course (#2), divided by the concrete-channeledArroyo Seco.
Both courses were designed by architectWilliam P. Bell and the complex features a restaurant, banquet facilities, meeting rooms, pro shop, two practiceputting greens, a chipping area, a practicebunker, and adriving range. The course hosted theLos Angeles Open on thePGA Tour in1968, won byBilly Casper in late January.[6]
The par-72 C.W. Koiner Course (#1) measures over 7,200 yards (6,580 m),[1] and is centrally run along the western and southern ends of the complex. Relatively flat, it has many strategically placed bunkers, longrough, and tricky greens to place a premium on accuracy. This course is more open than the E.O. Nay Course and also appeals to the better player looking for a challenge.
The E.O. Nay Course (#2) is the shorter of the two courses, measuring just over 6,000 yards (5,490 m),[3] and is centrally run along the northern end of the complex. Similarly featured, this par-70 course is relatively flat, the key difference between the courses is the smaller hitting areas of the E.O. Nay Course, and this course usually serves those of a lesser ability.
Though these courses are beautiful and stretch for a mile in green beauty, during football season and for special events, the courses are used as a parking lot for fans. TheRose Bowl (located next door) uses the course for extra parking during home games for theUCLA Bruins football team (since 1982) and for the annualNew Year's DayRose Bowl Game. In 2010 and 2014, it was used for theBCS National Championship Games. This has not proven detrimental to the quality of the course. It does, however, impact availability of the course during UCLA home games and other special events.
On December 30, 2009, the clubhouse hosted the twentieth anniversary of theRose Bowl Hall of Fame induction ceremony, which was hosted by the Pasadena Quarterbacks Club, withKeith Jackson as the master of ceremonies.[7]
