I don't golf, but my husband wanted a driving range. Spooky Brook was the nearest one still open in November. It was a lovely day, the links looked inviting, and there were a couple dozen cars in the parking lot. Fees seemed reasonable, and the club house was spare but comfortable. I can't say anything about the golf course(s?).

The course is very nice, but the staff was not accommodating to beginner players. Pace of play was kept fine but the staff complained we were out too long, breaking rules, didn’t have enough clubs, misused cart, and many other things. Along with this the staff member came at us so aggressively yelling and screaming at kids who weren’t knowingly doing anything wrong. Overall the course is nice but the staff needs to lighten up and change the rules if they don’t want kids playing on their course.

The staff at this course demonstrated a disappointing lack of understanding when it comes to basic customer experience. My wife and I were turned away because she was wearing jeans. When we asked for any flexibility, the only response was, “It’s on the website.” To be clear: I’m not disputing the rule exists—I’m questioning the complete absence of empathy or common-sense discretion in enforcing it. I work in the city, took an hour-long train, and then drove 40 minutes just to make our tee time. A polite reminder or warning would’ve gone a long way. I’ve played this course many times before and generally enjoy it. But the way this situation was handled makes it clear they care more about rigid policy than customer satisfaction. They’ve lost a customer.

Great course, great cart, bad staff. We played through 12 and had to come back due to a storm, asked for a rain check but the staff denied any kind of compensation. Then our group of 4 went to the clubhouse and got kicked out. We attempted to let staff know our ride was 5 minutes away and wanted to stay out of the storm but they told us they were closing up and we had to go. Disappointed.

Overall solid round. Course was well maintained and speed of play was exceptional. Highly recommended course.
