About
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.

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....
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.
Great course
I really like this course. One of my favorites.
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.
Good value
Got a good deal from Golfnow . Straight forward and relatively flat course. Fairways and greens in good condition . Can't say the staff was friendly and one of the negatives were that you cannot drive the gas carts to the parking lot and they make you carry your bags more than 100yrds..
Thankfully there's 1 million other golf courses go play
Worst experience I've had trying to go play a round of golf.
I showed up to my tee time with one other person alittle behind but still made it to the Teebox five minutes prior to our tee time ready to go. We were met there it's just straight up disrespect(shaking his head in disappointment stomping his feet walking back-and-forth lecturing us on why we have to be here 20 minutes prior to our tee time )maybe he was just having a bad day but listen but we just paid 100 and something dollars to have a good round of golf not be lectured because a little bit of traffic. We went into the pro shop and asked for a refund And got it then the starter came in and apologized with a disrespectful smug look on his face acting like we were out of line for asking for a refund and when we confronted him we were told to leave and never come back.Normally I'm not the type of person to write a bad review but the disrespect and total lack of professionalism forced me to write this so other people could know their money is well spent somewhere else . A waste of a day of golf, hour and a half ride and 5 dollar reservation fee To golf now
Great to pace to play!
Course was very nice and workers were all nice and helpful. Well worth the cost. Will 100% be back.
Spooky Brook
I decided to get a quick twilight round in as I had some time to kill. I'm glad I decided to go to Spooky, as I had a great time.
Walking alone, I ended up pairing up with a group of 2, and another single player, all walking.
We all played at a pretty quick pace, only having to wait at 1 or 2 holes for no longer than 5 minutes. What amazed me were the greens. Although there were some divots around the greens, what I thought was the best part of this course were the greens. The ball was rolling really nice, probably nicer than I have seen in a while.
The course plays pretty straight-forward, nothing too crazy challenging. We played the back 9, and I got holes 1, 2, and 3 in after our back 9.
I normally do not walk, but after yesterday, I plan on walking more as I enjoyed it. This course is good for walking because it is for the most part flat.
I would highly recommend this course if you are in the area. The staff was friendly with me, as I wanted to walk on without a tee time. The person inside the Pro Shop nicely asked to just confirm with the starter as there was a league going on. When asking the starter, he gave me a response like "yeah you can play, this is golf!" kind of mentality. Got me excited to get out there and play.
Overall, great day even with the random patches of rain. It turned out to be a decent evening,. Even though I still shot like garbage. But hey, that's the game of golf.
Very pretty, interesting, forgiving
I enjoyed the course. It's in good condition with quick and interesting greens. Large putting and chipping area near the practice range. And, as forgiving the course is, if you hit far off the fairway, the tall grass is tough to search through.
Spooky Brook Golf Course is Great
Spooky Brook may look easy but it isn't It is a great walking course from green to tee, well laid out with hidden challenges for every golfer. The pace of play is usually quite good...4 1/2 hours and under. Fairways in good shape and nice trees, some flowering, some pine. Staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Benches at forward tees for the ladies and seniors
Not so spooky
Came back to play for second time in 2 years. Course is in good condition for both fairway and green. Even though green was bit slow it's fair considering it's January. This course may be easy for lower handicap but still enjoyable and for high HCP it's nice course to sharpen your skill without being too much intimidation.
Late spring round
I booked a 4 some on Golf Now for a reduced rate in November and got fairly lucky with weather. A little disappointed that no cancellations can be done (one member got sick and couldn't come) but otherwise booking was good. Course was in very good shape but it would have been helpful if staff blow the leaves this time of year because anything not in the fairway really presents a challenge to find. My only real complaint is NO FOOD CART or VENDING area!!!!!! Vending machine only??? That's ridiculous to expect golfers to be out on a course for 4-5 hours with nothing to eat. Staff was very friendly and pace of play wasn't too bad. Definitely a nice wide open course to play with length and some difficulty to challenge your game while flat enough to walk without wearing you out. I will definitely go back, just bring my own cooler and food
It was very Spooky
I am just joking about it being spooky. It was just before Halloween so there was a bunch of golfers in costume. I really enjoyed this course. It was 45 degrees and I still enjoyed it. The course was in beautiful shape. I am used to golfing at Bunker Hill in Princeton which is an absolute dump in comparison. I was impressed with the nice green fairways and rough, the sand traps with actual sand in them and the fact that there wasn't a lot of leaves on the course. At Bunker Hill the sand traps have dirt in them, the fairways are burned up and there are leaves everywhere. I'm happy I found this gem. Thanks Spooky Brook. I'll be back.
