The unfortunate problem with playing Brookside 1 or 2 is the Rose Bowl Operating Company has turned the fairways into a parking lot for all their events. These include UCLA football, one concert after another and anything else these people can think of to use the course as a parking lot. If you play golf after a UCLA game the course is littered in beer bottle caps, paper and broken glass, not a quality experience, after concerts, the same thing and the annual 4th of July fireworks show. Before making a time to play, check the Rose Bowl event calendar to see if you're playing following one of their events, if so, I would cancel your time and play another local course. You'll be happy you did.
