Challenging and Friendly

Spook Rock is a well maintained course. It is a bit challenging but has some friendly holes as well. I have played there a few times and recommend it to others.

Great course, but pace of play was awful

I would have given this course a much better rating.

It is one of my favorite courses in my area. But there was no ranger keeping the pace of play, which led to a 5 hour round…

5 Hour 10 minute weekday round. BRUTAL

I really wish that they would send a ranger around to maintain pace of play on this course. I played yesterday (Thursday) around noon and the whole round took 5 hours 10 minutes from the 1st tee shot to the last putt. That’s just ridiculous. No round of golf should take over 4.5 hours. The tee sheet was pretty packed but that’s no excuse for an over 5 hour round. And the thing is they have a tracking system on the golf cart that keeps track of how long everyone’s round is taking. The message on the cart turned red which meant we were behind pace on the THIRD hole!!! And the minutes behind pace counter kept going up and up and up throughout the round. One good thing was that the starter had a good system of getting everyone ready and teeing off on time by announcing which groups were on deck to tee off. But none of that matters if your round of golf takes 5 hours. Just brutal. You have been warned.

Getting Brown

I know it hasn’t rained in 10 days or so but does this course have sprinklers ? Also the tee box divot seeds were empty as well as the cart ….. course was in better condition last year……

Great time but…

Very nice course. 2 suggestions one easy one a bit more complicated. The bunkers need work. New sand can eliminate the hard pan conditions in the green side bunkers. Much more simple. The range needs new mats. The ones there now are terrible all bent up like potato chips, rips no tread. Easily fixed. Replace the mats!!
