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.

Dry Conditions

The dry conditions made for a ok round, not the fault of superintendent.

I guess it would be Mother Nature fault not raining enough.

Love this course

Staff is friendly. Practice facilities excellent.

Well maintained. Greens and fairways in very nice condition. Tee boxes and cart path both in pretty good condition. Layout is friendly but also presents some challenges, especially from longer tees of which there are four sets. Been playing here for almost 30 years and have always enjoyed it, and especially in the past 14 years or so since the course maintenance improved considerably. Always a pleasant round.

For a county course it is outstanding.
