Spook Rock

Haven't played this course in years, but good value from Golf Now. Greens, fairways and tee boxes in very good condition. Fairly narrow fairways in spots make driver accuracy important. Fun course to play. Look forward to playing again before the real cold weather arrives.

Great Public Course!

I wish my town had a public course as nice as this. Got a chance to play there for a real bargain price that I found on GOLFNOW. Usual price $75. I paid $40 for a 12:06 tee time with a drive cart. Also enjoyed the company of some fellow Rockland County people who I paired up with there. Best county in New York State.

An unexpected gem

Comparable to Patriot Hills in terms of quality, but in better condition and closer to Manhattan. Greens are in particularly good shape. Not a hugely difficult course, but plays long off all the tees.

Good course except....

For the intermediate player with a 24 handicap; the fairway grass first cut is way too long. Lost balls or exceptionally long search times for balls just a few feet off the fairway. You are penalized unnecessarily for a shot close to the fairway or green.
First cut around greens 4" or 5"...way too long. This causes again long search times and delays in playing time. Using a 58 degree wedge for shots approx. 3ft off the green is almost necessary on every green.

It seems the course is punishing you excessively for shots just off the fairway or greens. I would expect this length of grass to be at he second cut at least.

I would NOT play this course in the FAll as the leaf cover and grass depth would cause 6hr rounds! and a dozen balls!

Please don't tell me that every shot should be in the short grass or on the green. I don't carry a Tour card ..I am just a guy who plays 50 - 60 rounds a year for pure enjoyment.

Nice course, painfully slow

This outing was my first time playing this course. The course was reasonably well designed and was quite forgiving if you missed the fairway. The course was fairly well maintained and in good condition. The pace of play during the second nine was very, very bad... really ruined the round. The cashiers and the starter were very nice. The staff in the bar are inattentive and generally distracted and spaced out. The hotdogs we ordered at the turn were stone cold and truly terrible. Given the course itself I would play it again but the food and slow play will make me think twice.

Walked

Still solid after all these years

Years ago this was regularly rated one of the best public courses in the country. Many public courses have passed it by. It is still run as a chummy local club at times. Not residents pay way too much given the competition. With proper pricing the tee times could be filled most days, including weekends. $85? No, not with all the other options. However it is still a fun, unique track. Never in pristine condition, but always playable. From the first hole a 90 degree dog leg par four until the difficult par four 18th, there is variety and shot making holes to keep your attention. If you can play it later in the season when greens fees are much cheaper you feel much better. Decent driving range, putting green and chipping area. It is a great course to walk.

Great course

My only issue was that they had a golf camp on the course with five golfers. Three groups in front of us played through them. We finally asked the group to play through on the fifth hole. Otherwise, the pace of play was pretty good.

I would definitely play again.

A very picturesque course!

Spook Rock Golf Course is certainly worth the visit, a lush green course amongst beautiful high top trees, there were some vistas that reminded me of what I have seen of Augusta in The Masters TV coverage!

We could not have been made to feel more welcome, from the time we checked in, to the visit to the golf shop, friendly pointer in the right direction and then at the starter box ~ a really well run golf couse, that provided plenty of challenging holes and a pretty good test of golf for golfers with varying skill levels.

Great course, but so slow

Played this course many times over the years..Its always in good shape, tee times usually on time to start off but, the pace of play at this course is horribly slow. I have had many rounds there over 5+ easily with some going to close to 6. The marshals just kind of shrug there shoulders when you ask what the problem ahead is as they know its slow, and just do not care. Hopefully one day they can take care of this issue

Mess and disrespect to the game and the Course!

Like I mentioned,
Mess and disrespect to the game and the Course!
Round took Forever! People are yelling and screaming behind us.
Cigarette buds on the Green, bunkers nobody even trying to fix after them self's. Rangers are nowhere to be seen!!!!
It's MESS, WAIST OF TIME AND DISGUSTING!!!
Other wise I liked the track.
But not coming back...

Challenging but slow pace.

Challenging track. Lots of variety. Front pace of play is good. Hit a wall on ten tee and the back nine drags.

still a tough little course

course was in excellent shape, except for the bunkers on the front 9. the sand was like concrete, whereas the back 9 seemed to be in better shape.
10,11,12,13 seems to take forever, play really slowed down at the turn. greens were in great shape.
