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.

Straight and easy.

If you like a challenge, this course is not for you. Straight as an arrow with few hazard placements one would consider challenging. Clean fairways. Nice stroll. No stress.

Fun, forgiving golf course.

A great layout with just enough challenging holes. The staff was very friendly The starter was most helpful and a gentlemen who enjoys his job. Spooky Brook is on a beautiful piece of property. Great value for a good course.

no starter no ranger

there was a foursome two holes ahead more interested in ball finding then playing, they were never ready and made the pace of play agonizing.

The surprise cart rental was something I never encountered when using the online booking site. Will have to pay better attention when booking this year.(beware)

Good for time of year, although beware

Two of my golf colleagues and myself had purchased the tee time during the warm up in order to get an early season round in to break the winter blues. For the time of year the course was in good shape. Not a lot of muddy spots and to our surprise the sand traps were well groomed and not hard. When we arrived we were unable to bring the gas cart to the parking lot and had to carry our bags to the back of the clubhouse to cart them. When we went to check in for our 12:40 tee time we were advised that we had to pay $17 each extra to ride and when we asked why we were told that an email had been sent out stating that we had only paid for the waking rate. We had not bought drink prior to going to the course bc we wanted to give the course money bc we had bought from GN. We were advised that they only had off brand water and only took cash due to the vending machines being changed out. Being that we did not come prepared to walk we paid the $17 each to ride. The course was is good shape for the early season and it was nice to get out and dust off the club but not at $46/pp for early season. After our round one of my golf partners attempted to use the restroom and the clubhouse was locked at 4:45 pm. Overall the course was ok but not for the price paid and the 2 hour drive to get there just to end up paying full price. Be sure to read all print before buying and if you want something other than water.

The course was in excellent condition for the time of year. Greens were challenging but putted consistently. Staff was friendly and responsive to questions. Practice area is adequate. The practice green was especially nice.

Nice layout.

Good length on this course. You will use every club in the bag.Conditions were good, the greens are nice but inconsistent cutting has some fast and some slower.

Very nice layout and open and forgiving on most holes.

Relaxing round of golf

If you want to enjoy a relaxing round of golf this is the course you want to play. Easy to walk, flat and wide fairways. Greens are easy to putt. Remember SS as in SPOOKY STRAIGHT putts. Work on your speed and it is easy to par....

This course is designed well. Groomed nicely and wide enough fairways for the average golfer. Pace of play was under 4 hours. Will definitely go back.

Airated Greensw

I have played this course for many years and today because of the Airated greens I was completey flustered with my Putting. Spooky has always kept their Greens nice, other than when they Airate so I can't complain too much. I wish sometimes the courses or Golf now could inform us of the condition of the course before we book our tee times, especially during Airation so we could choose a differnt course if we so desire.

Good Round

Had not played here in several years. Course was in good shape. The starter was very nice. Pace was good until the 15th hole. There was a threesome that held us up the rest of the way.

Very playable course, and friendly staff

The course is fun and somewhat challenging, and should be played in a reasonable amount of time (4 hours for a 4-some). The staff is very friendly and only wants to create an enjoyable experience for everyone.

Long, Wide and Dry

A county course, with many bland holes and all seemed to be about the same yardage (360-380 range).

I wouldn't play on Fridays as they start the weekend rates. No drinking water or food, but they will charge you a $1 for a bottle of of water.
