Brookside Country Club has named Tod Pierce as its next general manager, pairing one of the most accomplished club executives in the region with one of the most significant golf course restorations underway in the country. Brookside, a Golf Magazine Top 100 course designed by Donald Ross in 1922, will begin a comprehensive restoration in 2027 and Pierce, who just completed a golf course renovation at Longue Vue Club, will oversee the project.
Why it matters
Brookside is one of the great Donald Ross courses and the restoration aims to bring the course back to Ross's original vision. Pierce's experience at championship clubs like Oakmont and Longue Vue makes him well-suited to guide Brookside through this major project.
The details
Pierce built his career in elite private club settings, including five years at Oakmont Country Club and 19 years as general manager of Longue Vue Club. At Longue Vue, he managed the club's eight-figure annual operating revenues, grew membership by 50%, and directed more than $27 million in capital improvements. Brookside has engaged golf course architect Tyler Rae, who has studied Donald Ross's work more thoroughly than anyone alive, to lead the restoration.
