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.

Well maintained course

Spooky Brook is a very well maintained course. From tee to green, it was in great shape. The fairways are generally forgiving, The greens are mostly pretty large, and not difficult to read.

The layout is okay, but certainly not remarkable. You won't be wow'ed, but you'll be pleased with a very well kept course.

Easy, entertaining course.

The starter was very polite and friendly. The course was in very good shape. The green had been aired recently but were very playable. I bet that in normal conditions the greens would be very good. It is a forgiving course. Most fairways are quite generous. The rough was not impossible but not that forgiving either. The bunkers were tidy but did not have as much sand as I would have liked. A good option for sure.

Good time

The course was in good shape and the gentlemen that work there are extremely nice. The only neg. was that many of the sand traps had water in them from rain two days before. Luckily I didn't land in any!! Otherwise it's a very nice course for intermediate players. Nothing too challenging.

Wide open layout, solid value

Spooky Brook, while certainly not a challenging course due to the layout, was enjoyable to play. The course is wide open and forgiving off the tee, and the course itself is in really great shape. We had a bad downpour the day before, so some of the bunkers were holding a decent amount of water, but that was the only real issue. All in all, really good bang for your buck with the hot deal pricing. Will be back to play again.

Grip it n' rip it.

Excellent course, wide-open fairways.

Great place to work out the kinks with your driver. Greens were nice and the rough manageable. Friendly staff.
