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.

Course was in very nice shape. It is a very open layout that is very playable. Pace of play waa a bit over 4 hrs. Greens were very fast and hard but it has been extremely dry and windy in recent days. Balls roll very nicely on the greens bur the fast speed is challenging.

Nice conditions, wide open layout

Nice conditions for early in the season. Pleasant staff. Greens were treated with sand, but they were very playable and reasonably fast. Traps were full of sand and raked. Tee boxes were clean with plenty of grass.

We had a great day and will play here again.

Perfect Day!

It was 38° and sunny to start and by the time we finished it was 48°. I had driven two and a half hours south from Woodstock, New York and I could not have been happier driving back. The greens were smooth as summer and the tees and fairways were in great shape, too. And even more importantly the gentleman at the cash register and then Pete, the starter could have not been more kind and accommodating. I walked 18 holes and had booked another round for the afternoon on Golf Now, and the great guy at the cash register said that I can play more than 18 holes for free on this course as long as you're walking. So for $52 I played 27 holes and loved every minute of it. Very, very walkable course and for the most part nice, open and wide fairways. Could not have been a better course to start the year on. I'm thinking of coming back with my sons this summer and staying in a hotel and playing a couple days here and at some of the other Somerset County courses. Thanks so much, Everyone at Spooky Brook. You are a totally Class Act and have a well run Golf Course. PS I had such a great time I shot one under 71 from the blue tees! And won $4 from the great twosome, I was paired up with. Highly recommend...
