About Brookings Country Club
At Brookings Country Club, golfers encounter an 18-hole challenge with a par of 72, spanning from 6,322 yards from the forward tees to a robust 6,770 yards from the back. The course offers three sets of tees—Black, Blue, and Black Tees—each catering to different skill levels and allowing for varied playing experiences. The layout features a mix of rolling terrain and strategically placed hazards, perfect for honing course management skills. Players should be mindful of the slope rating, which adds an extra layer of challenge, especially for those navigating the back tees.
What to Expect
The course presents a solid test for golfers of all abilities, but you'll want to be mindful of your club selection, especially on approach shots. Mid to high handicappers will find it approachable from the forward tees, while more experienced players may enjoy the nuances of the back tees' longer layout. Watch for the tricky greens, which can get tricky and quick, and be prepared for the occasional gust of wind that can alter your shot. It's a good idea to bring a few extra balls—some of those water hazards can catch you off guard if you're not careful.
