What They’re Saying
“What Silva did to reclaim the Ross design was not unroll the original blueprints and slavishly reproduce every feature in accordance with its 1922 dictates. Instead, he updated Brookside while fashioning nearly everything in the style of the original architect… Silva’s work has re-established the nuances of the original Ross design. The bend of a creek, the plunge of a fairway, the dip of a green are all back in play now. Brookside looks and feels like a state-of-the-art classic.”

“This Donald Ross design, which is making its Top 100 debut, epitomizes the virtues of parkland golf with rolling topography, sweeping views and a stream that bisects the property. The design lacks for nothing and has reached peak form after years of consulting with Brian Silva. Ross’s use of the stream at holes 4, 5 and 11 is especially noteworthy but the real attention-grabber is Brookside’s set of greens, led by those at the 8th and 12th.”
