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.

course is in great shape!

Haven't played this course for about a year and a half. Had a 1pm tee time and got all 18 in! Great conditions for winter play. Staff is attentive and friendly. Got there to late to use the driving range or practice green. To bad since both are well kept. The weather was cool (low 50's) and overcast but very enjoyable. I find the layout to be fun to play. Got a great deal with GolfNow!
