Hot day at Spook Rock

This course is one of my favorites in the area. Definitely a great combination of layouts for each hole. The greens were running slow because of rain the night before but were in great shape. but allowed the ball to stick more. This course is definitely worth the money!

great course but sloooooow

first time playing, love the layout, conditions were good, greens were a little slow. everyone was friendly. Pace of play was horrific, 5 hours and 10 minutes for a saturday round, that is on the course management it started at the driving range we were looking for friend coming up the 18th while we were warming up a half hour went by and there was no one coming up 18. once you leave the starter its a free for all. there are no rangers keeping golfers on pace.. we saw 2 open holes, the group in front of us played the 17th par 3 as a group of 7. if you cant play a round in 4 hours and 30 minutes take up bowling or something else and management should post signs and enforce it. this place has potential, but I could not recommend it and make enemies for a 5 hour round.

Spook is the same

Greens were slooooooooowwwwww.

Then you have to pound your putz and there's no way to keep a putting line.

And the whole course needs to be mowed - everywhere.

But in retrospect..nothing has changed at Spook Rock since I first played there in 1984.

Not the Spook from 2 years ago

A bit disappointed with conditions at this course this year. First time playing it this year. Rough was all over the place and cut uneven. Greens were a bit beat up and I wouldn’t even hit a bunker shot due to the golf ball sized rocks in most of them.

Disappointed

I know it's still early in the season but this course was in the worst shape ever. The greens were so slow. Even my downhill putts stopped before they reached the hole. I noticed they were aerating the fairways, which were awful, especially on the front nine. We waited on every hole and it never opened up. It was even worse by the time we got to the 13th hole. We did more waiting then playing. I used to love playing this course but it really seems to have gone downhill.
