The first green, carved into the hillside, overlooks Hop Brook’s opening 470-yard fairway. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/03/2025
-
One of three bunkers that guard the third fairway, this one may make for dicey approach shots into the green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/03/2025
-
A view back down the third hole from near the crest of fairway four. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/03/2025
-
Hole 5: As springtime progresses, this look across the street from the right rough will soon be obscured by leaves. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/03/2025
-
The eighth is an outstanding four-par running 402 yards. Many scattered trees stand like sentries alongside its fairway. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/03/2025
-
Green eight is hidden from view to players on the fairway–-concealed by the sizable berm from which I stood on to take this photo. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/03/2025
-
The third from behind its green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/17/2024
-
A view of green five from the cartpath; beyond is the first fairway. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/17/2024
-
The sixth fairway, after rounding its dogleg. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/17/2024
-
Fairway eight. A long and strong par-4. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/17/2024
-
The ninth hole, after the sun had finally and completely come out from behind the clouds. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/17/2024
-
About as tough as a short-par five can get, the opening hole at Hop Brook earns the #1 index. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/22/2024
-
A view of green two. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/22/2024
-
Putting on the fourth green may feel like a relief after your efforts to keep the ball in play from tee to green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/22/2024
-
The target on the par-3 seventh may look tiny from this vantage point, but it’s big enough to hit with a mid-iron or more. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/22/2024
-
The approach to the eighth green, hidden from view behind a kind of berm-like rise, will demand a laser-like approach shot for a GIR. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/22/2024
-
1st hole (no. 1 handicap index): par 5, 474. Generally a three-shotter for most players. Here is the landing zone for the second. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/18/2024
-
Another view of the first, behind its green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/18/2024
-
The second: par-4, 371. Simply a great par four. The fairway undulates strongly on the way to a tilted green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/18/2024
-
Third, par-4. An easier par four that the second, but with bunkers to threaten the tee shot. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/18/2024
-
Five, par-3. This downhill one-shotter starts from a high tee and plummets to this green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/18/2024
-
Another view of the fifth from behind hole. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/18/2024
-
The 1st, par-5, 474 yards, index 1. The tough opener demands, ideally, a shot over this pond–leading to a wedge for the third shot. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/08/2023
-
Two, par-4, 371. Terrific par-4, its driving zone rolling, its green canted back to front. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/08/2023
-
Three, par-4, 355. Short but tricky four-par that finishes on this slightly raised and small green. (The hog’s back fourth fairway lies in background). Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/08/2023
-
Six, par-5, 490. Almost the opposite of the opening par-5, this doglegs right and plays to a relatively flat green fronted by a bunker. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/08/2023
-
Eight, par-4, 402. An outstanding, tough dogleg playing to a well-protected green. Great driving hole. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/08/2023
-
Nine, par-4, 329. Short but lethal: tight fairway; dogleg right; raised and sloping green. A hard finisher from tee to cup. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/08/2023
-
The drive is hardly a piece of cake at Hop Brook’s first, but each shot may seem tougher than the previous one. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/07/2022
-
A cross hazard–this pond–makes for a risk/reward situation at #1. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/07/2022
-
Fairway two includes a pronounced swale on the way to the green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/07/2022
-
Behind the third green is an unpleasant drop-off that makes a pitch back onto the putting surface difficult. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/07/2022
-
Seven, a mid-length par-3, is well protected by flanking bunkers. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/07/2022
-
Eight is my favorite hole on the course, a rigorous par-4 of 402. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/07/2022
-
1st hole: Par-5, 474. A stream crosses the second-shot landing zone. A risk-reward proposition. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/23/2021
-
3rd hole: Par-4, 355. A pair of golfers moves toward the landing spots of their drives. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/23/2021
-
The fifth: Par-3, 153. Classic tee shot from on high, much higher than when I played HB as a teenager. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/23/2021
-
Six: An outstanding par-5 of 490. Dogleg right. If you want to make it a two-shotter, you’ll need to miss this bunker. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/23/2021
-
The sixth hole from behind, showing the course’s pleasant parkland style. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/23/2021
-
The beautiful 8th hole, a par-4 of 402. Though not seen well in this shot, the fairway ripples nicely. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/23/2021

A pleasant surprise and a great value.
Nine hole course with a few longer, 400+ yards par 4s. Greens ran very smooth and true. The rough didn't seem too long but hid balls from view, even standing over them. Swinging through the rough and controlling the club face was a challenge. All in all, I'll be back for a mid-week change of pace.

Good value for money....
Nice little 9 holes course. Compared to other 9 holers in driving distance, this is a cute course. Had a good time, interesting layout, some fun fairway looks. Overall had a good time.
Only issue I had was pace of play and tee times. There is no starter and tee times are too close together. Very popular course.

Solid course for the dollar. Staff was very friendly and the holes were fun. It started out very slow but picked up past the second hole.

A quirky 9 hole course that is fun to play. Greens are in good shape, fairways and rough a little worn. Worth a look if you want something a little different.
