Lying close to the front of the first tee, waiting to swallow topped drives, the brook flows swiftly on a spring morning. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/27/2026
-
The second is one of the two most difficult greens to putt, along with one. It is lightning-fast above the hole. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/27/2026
-
Three is a pleasantly open but still-challenging par-4. Course conditions were excellent today, with greens running fast. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/27/2026
-
The fifth hole: A par-3 that plummets to the green from near the highest part of the golf course. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/27/2026
-
A view of the landing zone for the drive at the par-5 sixth. If there is a hole that should be dubbed “most strategic” at Hop Brook, this is it. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/27/2026
-
The sixth fairway tightens further as it progresses down to a relatively small green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/27/2026
-
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

Friendliest course around
The staff and people you meet at Hop Brook couldn't be nicer. Greens are in great shape and have subtle deceiving breaks you need to pay attention to. All in all this is a hidden gem and I highly recommend it.
And you can't beat Jesse Camille's for Apre Golf!

Nice Course
I have played Hop Brook a number of times and it never disappoints. The key is to have proper expectations There isn't a fancy clubhouse,no range(but a nice practice green), no attendants grabbing your bag, no restaurant. The course is 9 holes and great for an intermediate golfer like myself. It is not overly challenging. The rating speaks for itself. The conditions are impeccable. The greens are true. In addition it's a nice play to play, with the relaxing rhythm of the Hop Brook cascading throughout your round. East to reach via rt8, rt63, or i84.
