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.

Rating 71.7

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.

Forgiving and well maintained

1. They have a range to warm up and a great putting green for pitching/chipping and dialing in your stroke pre-round. Nice for a public facility.

2. Course is forgiving and fair.

3. There really isn’t one hole that impresses, so overall average in that regard.

4. The course is in great shape.

5. Easy to get out and play this one pretty quick!

Rolling layout

despite multiple days of rain, other than water in some traps, the course was in surprisingly good condition. The back nine has some interesting hole designs.

Very good course

Course was in excellent condition and well maintained. Played from blue tees and layout and distance was challenging but not overwhelming. Greens in great shape. Driving range and very large practice green on site. Staff was very courteous and professional. Only negative is that there is no snack bar/cafe to get food, only vending machines. But will definitely return. Loved the course.

Good course

The course layout was nice. Longer than your average public course. Open fairways.

Very disappointed that there was not even a snack bar or snack hut at the turn. No bar. No cart girl. Nothing.
