Course Highlights
Spooky Brook's large, well-maintained greens and walker-friendly layout consistently impress golfers seeking great value at a public course. The back nine delivers a notably more challenging and scenic experience that keeps players coming back.

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.

Beginner Course

Spooky Brook is wide open. Waste areas are open which means not too many lost balls. Great beginner course.

Need TLC

It’s a relatively straightforward course but needs some TLC. Tee ground, fairways are in bad shape..bunkers have little sand, mostly hard dirt. Greens are on the slow side. Hope they put in more money and effort in maintaining the course.

Walked

first time in years

good to be back. great course to walk and play early. finished in 3.5 hrs. I do wish they let you out before 7. 45 to walk is a little much but with the county system, it's fair.

My round of golf 5/22/2019

It was a beautiful day, sunny, mid 70's, low humidity. The course was in excellent shape and the staff very friendly and efficient. The only down side was the pace of play with many, many golfers taking advantage of the great weather conditions.

Love Spooky!

Can't really go wrong with any of these courses (Spooky, Royce, Warren, Neshanic, Green Knoll)

Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Was able to get out shortly before my scheduled tee time and paired up with 2 other guys.

Tee boxes and fairways are in great shape. Greens were fast and are getting there in terms of bumps and blemishes. Really nice layout and can't go wrong with a hot deal here!

Excellent Early Season Conditions

Played a few rounds already around NJ in March and most courses are still trying to reach adequate conditions and I’ve refarined from any type of negative review because it’s to be expected this time of year. Spooky Brook however deserves a shout out for the standard of its greens so early in the season, credit to all involved because they were in unbelievable shape and rest of the course wasn’t bad either and was beginning to take shape.
