Reviews

The course was very nicely maintained and had very nice natural features.
Nice open course very forgiving for newer golfers.
Nice Course - Super Slow
Nice county course. Good bargain but we waited on every shot for over 5 hours. Played in a threesome and then a foursome. Way too slow. No marshalls. Need to space groups better and encourage slow golfers to pick up pace or pick up their ball. Play it forward. While were young!
Very good course
The course is cool. For the most part its wide open. Had a good score there. The starter takes his job way to seriously and is a pain in the you know what!
Super friendly staff and great practice
Conditions: Overall - 8
Fairways - 9
Greens - 8 (slow but roll true)
Bunkers - 7
Rough -9 (might be a little bit high in spots and make it hard to find your ball but it's wide open - few places to lose balls)
The staff is super friendly and the course is wide open. Great place to work on the swing and practice putting. You can definitely score low here and promotes grippin and rippin off the tee.
golfnow deals are a great value
I traditionally play this course every month or so on Saturday or Sunday mornings with my regular foursome. It usually costs $54 to walk for out of county on the weekend
With the golfnow deal, I was able to book an early Saturday afternoon tee time with cart for $29.
The value and how open the course was allowed me to do something I wouldnt normally do and that is to bring along my 10 year old son and further introduce him to the game.
We had a fantastic time .
Thanks Golfnow - Your discount tee-times are helping to the grow the game. Please keep working to add more discounts.
Course in good condition
Had a great time, really enjoyed playing in very good conditions. Will play again.
Golfer friendly course
Spooky is "golfer friendly" with wide fairways and greens that are in "country club" condition. An 18 hole round played after 2 resulted in a 3 hr. 15 min. round for our 2-some, where a 4-some and 3-some cordially let us play through. Playing at Spooky helps boost confidence in your game.
For the most part the course gives you a lot of room for mistakes
Course was in very good shape and would like to play it again.
This course is not very challenging
Almost all the holes are straight out with wide open fairways and not very exciting to play. There are a few holes where you can't see the pin from the tee box so a scorecard with the hole layouts would be helpful for first-time play.
This course has open fairways
I played this course on a Friday afternoon and it was pretty much wide open, not many groups in front or behind us. The course was in great shape. The greens and fairways were maintained very well and the value for your money is unbeatable. I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone in the Somerset, NJ area.
Very Nice County Course
Wide fairways, easy pace, great greens and with Golfnow you can grab a reasonable price!
best greens
this course gets a lot of play, but it moves well. the greens are very challenging and quick. great value for county course. great job all course maintainers
Flat and forgiving
If your a golfer that has a tendency to hook the ball this course is a little more forgiven then most. Still a few long yardage holes that requires a good middle game. For the price it can't be beat, super friendly staff.
spooky brook
Fairways and tee boxes were just fine, greens are in terrific shape. a few more weeks and some more rain and this course maybe one of the better values in new jersey. for comparison I played eagle ridge on 5/18 . I paid 50 bucks and it isn't worth 50 cents.
Good
Not too easy, not too difficult. The staff are all kind and friendly.
maintained very well.
this is my favorite course. if your driver is not that accurate, try this course. you will be happy.
Strong course to work on game
Somerset county does a great job at maintaining their golf courses. Easy walk, open lay out and hard to loose a ball. Yet it is fun..... nice big greens that roll true.
Spooky Brook is worth a trip
Some of the better county course greens this year. Challenging in length but allows you to spray the driver a bit. Great staff. Fun course.
