Brookside Golf & Country Club, nestled in the Columbus suburb of Westerville, is a testament to enduring golf traditions. The course has been a challenging, yet inviting, staple of the local golf scene since the 1920s. Originally designed during the burgeoning years of American golf course architecture, Brookside's layout features a parkland style that meanders through mature trees and rolling terrain. Strategic doglegs and subtly contoured greens put a premium on thoughtful shot selection and precise approaches, rewarding players who can shape the ball and navigate the course's nuances. While it doesn't favor any particular shot shape, it does favor those who can play a variety of them. Brookside is perhaps best known for its tight-knit membership. The club's social calendar is as active as its golfing one, fostering a sense of community among its members. The club is also home to a number of accomplished amateur golfers, who represent Brookside in regional and state competitions.
