Brookside Golf Club (C.W. Koiner Course)

Pasadena, CA · 0.0 mi away

The E.O. Nay Course is the shorter of two 18-hole layouts at Brookside Golf Course, a 36-hole municipal facility owned by the City of Pasadena and located next to the Rose Bowl in Arroyo Seco Natural Park. The complex sits in the foothills below the San Gabriel Mountains and is among the oldest golf facilities in Los Angeles County. Both Brookside courses were designed by architect William P. Bell; the E.O. Nay Course plays to a par of 70 across roughly 6,000 yards, shorter and generally regarded as less demanding than the adjacent C.W. Koiner Course. Brookside is a public, city-owned facility operated by American Golf, with shared practice putting greens, a chipping area, a practice bunker and a driving range serving both courses.

South Pasadena, CA · 2.8 mi away

A classic 18-hole par-54 executive course serving South Pasadena since 1954. Lights are on until 8 p.m. Thursday through Sunday, making it one of the few lighted courses near downtown LA. A great option for beginners and those looking to work on their short game.

Los Angeles, CA · 6.3 mi away

Wilson Golf Course is a public, 18-hole municipal course in Griffith Park in Los Angeles, opening in 1927 as part of a pair of courses built alongside the earlier Harding course, following the era of architect George C. Thomas Jr.'s work in the park. Superintendent William Johnson and architect William P. Bell later modernized the layout in the 1930s, adding irrigation and building the clubhouse still used today. At more than 7,000 yards from the back tees, Wilson is one of the longer municipal courses in the city, with mildly rolling fairways set in a forested section of the park near the Los Angeles Zoo and Griffith Observatory. It has hosted rounds of the Los Angeles Open and remains a heavily used, city-operated course popular for its accessible location.
