Spooky Brook Golf Course in Somerset is a player-friendly course that is perfect for beginners. It offers just enough of a challenge but it still allows you some room for error. At 6,655 yards from the back tees, the golf course is relatively short but the greens, tees, and fairways offer plenty of room. The mostly flat terrain makes for an enjoyable walk and it's also wide open. While the golf course may not be the most formidable test, it does have a few challenges in store. Water has a presence throughout the course, especially on the back nine. Whether or not you are looking to hone your skills or if you want a casual round, the well maintained golf course appeals to any skill level. In addition to the course, Spooky Brook G.C. also has a driving range that you can use to warm-up.

Very enjoyable round with one drawback

This was my first time playing the course. The course is fun to play with a nice variety of hole. The course was in prefect condition. Pace of play was good. My one complaint is lack of yardage markers on the course. There are markers on some holes but not all. Luckily our playing partners had the app so they helped us. Still a very enjoyable day of golf.

One final comment, no snack bar or cart girl. Vending machines in clubhouse, so bring what you need.

Great course and in good shape

Nice course and was in great shape. Only cons I have are:

No cart girl or food availability

The bag drop area is a long walk to back of club house to load on a cart. Fine for young healthy people for tough for elderly and disabled.

AERATED GREENS

I play this course pretty frequently and usually it's quite nice. However, this time around I bought my round through Golfnow.

Neither the cashier in the pro shop nor the starter let me know that all the greens were recently aerated. There were no signs posted anywhere of this being the case.

The quality of the aeration basically made the greens unplayable!

I played nine holes and left in frustration. When I went into the manager his response was "this was posted on our website". As paying customers we are supposed to go to a golf course's website to find out whether or not it was aerated?!

It is ridiculous that they do not give you forewarning prior to taking your money.

Caveat emptor!

Great course, but all the greens are aerated, making putts difficult.

very solid

Overall, I really enjoyed this course. For a public course, it was well maintained and a great value. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars there is they just aerated the greens which nobody flagged to me beforehand. Even the guy I was paired with, a local who plays here frequently, was annoyed that nobody told him about the aerated greens. Pace of play was pretty good, but would have liked it to be a tad faster for an early morning tee time. I would definitely come back once the greens are in better shape.

Not Bad

Rub of the mill golf course. Not overly punishing as it is fairly wide, and flat. It makes for a nice round of golf. You can easily keep the driver in the bag though on some holes since the course isn’t too long.

Do not hit driver on hole #17. It’s an iron off the tee for sure.

Good greens.
