Brookside Golf Club — E.O. Nay Course
Overview
The E.O. Nay Course (Course #2) is the second of Brookside's two championship-style 18s, sharing the Arroyo Seco floor with the longer Koiner Course. The Nay plays shorter and a touch more forgiving — ideal for casual rounds, twilight golf, juniors graduating from First Tee, and Pasadena residents looking for the same iconic Rose Bowl setting without the full-tournament demands of Course #1. The clubhouse, golf shop, restaurant, driving range, and practice greens all serve both courses.
📜 History
Together with the Koiner Course, the Nay Course forms the 36-hole Brookside facility — the oldest in Los Angeles County and the home base for First Tee – Greater Pasadena.
⛳ Why Locals Play Here
Same Rose Bowl backdrop, same Pasadena muni value, slightly more forgiving lines. It's the everyday Pasadena round for golfers who want quality without grinding through a championship setup every time.
