Nice track overall

It's flat with lots of water and somewhat short, but worth playing 9 holes. If you go around twice you will be rewarded with knowing what not to do!

Something is better than nothing

We played on a rainy morning in Sep. The greens were in good shape and fast. The fairways were dodgy as was the rough. It's 9 holes and each hole is different, so it was a good day overall.

Funny old course

It's on the psych center grounds were they shot Orange is the New Black. That alone makes it creepy, but once you meet the old curmudgeon in the pro shop, it takes a turn for wacky. The greens were aerated which was a surprise disappointment. The pace was slow, and players didn't know the etiquette. The two we played with were great fun so all in all it was fine.

Good course, greens in great shape

Even after all the rain yesterday the course was in good shape. The greens were excellent but a little slow, probably due to rain.

Very good course worth a look

The course was really fun to play and only a few bad spots on the fairways and greens. Would definitely go again.

Doing fine

The greens were in very good shape but a little slow. The fairways were ok but some areas were burnt. Overall, a good day out.

It's worth a look

The course is doing very well, especially the greens. Got a great deal and due to the weather, no one was on the course that early. They won't let you walk before 2pm which is why I won't go back.

Hop Brook is a diamond in the rough

A quirky little course that requires shot making. It's short but a little tricky. A nice day out if it isn't too crowded.

Really improved

The course was always interesting and in pretty good shape, but now it is in great shape. With new carts and pro shop, plus great conditions, it's a must play.

Hidden Gem

Challenging and picturesque, this family owned course is well worth the travel. It's probably the best nine whole course in the state. Go around twice, you'll need to in order to figure out the greens.

The course is getting into good shape. Should be fine in a few more weeks after the aeration holes fill in.

Just ok

Short, shaggy and friendly. We got what we paid for. Layout is fine for an exec course. Tee boxes are all chewed up, greens are fine, fairways are shaggy.

nice Florida course

We had a great day out. The course was in fine shape. Fairly narrow, lost a few balls, lots of local knowledge needed to score well. Greens in good shape, medium speed.

Tough course in the fall

Greens were in great shape. Because the leaves were down it was hard to find your ball. Still, it was a lot of fun on the second time through since there were so many blind shots. Need to play it a few times to get the hang of it. Very cool lay out.

Keeps getting better

This course has been continually improving since it was taken over by a new company. The greens, fairways and bunkers were in fine shape. The only downside is they really restrict walking.

One of the best in the state

A fantastic course with plenty of challenge on every hole. It's in great shape. A little expensive for out of towners and we were slowed down by an outing, but they made it up to us with a 9 hole credit. Just a great day out!

Bad and getting worse

Been here a number of times when I come to the shore. It was always rough but now is just plain bad. Mosquitos are horrendous and there are 5 large ground hornet nests over the course. Fairways are shabby, rough is terrible, Greens are slow and bumpy. It's cheap but spend a few more bucks and go anywhere else.
