Poorer conditions

Came back to play after several years. Conditions became very poor.

My tee time was forced to be earlier time by the starter for no reason. I had to rush the first hole

2hrs30mins and wasn’t even through 7 holes

Probably one of the worst paces of play ever!! 2hrs30mins and we were only through 7 holes!!! By the time we finished the 9th hole the total time it took to play 9 holes was about 2hrs and 50 mins ! Almost three hours 9 holes ! What a joke I walked off after that and didn’t even finish. Course usual has backup and probably needs a marshal at all times.

Due to the week's rain....

The front 9 was better but the majority of fairways, bunkers were seeing results of the heavy rains, especially on the back 9, fairways were very soft, wet, muddy. Surprisingly, the greens weren't affected but there were many unfixed divots (shame on golfers!). The course mgmt. (rightly) ruled cart path only, which made for a slower pace (4.5 hours).

The course layout is comfortable and challenging (11th tee shot is blind, be cautious) especially the first time.

Nice course

This is a friendly course with just enough holes that are challenging. Great carts but you can walk this course as well. I highly recommend it.

Course Needs Some Improvements

Spook has tons of potential and was in better shape in the past. Yes, there’s been a lot of rain recently but many greens were very bumpy and absurdly slow. Some other greens that get more sun were much better. Traps were inconsistent as well with many being unplayable.

Hope to see improvements for next year or for a later fall round. Overall, it’s still a very solid course/layout.

Suffern Swingfest

A fair challenge for the 1st time golfer as well as for the regulars in my foursome. The greens were in excellent condition but be forewarned about approach shots the land too deep, leaving a downhill 1st putt that risks a 3-putt (or worse!). The one surprising element missing from this course are consistent yardage markers, so bring a rangefinder or other tool to help you gauge distance to the middle of the green or to the mini well-placed fairway bunkers.
