The 1st, par-5, 474 yards, index 1. The tough opener demands, ideally, a shot over this pond–leading to a wedge for the third shot. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/08/2023
-
Two, par-4, 371. Terrific par-4, its driving zone rolling, its green canted back to front. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/08/2023
-
Three, par-4, 355. Short but tricky four-par that finishes on this slightly raised and small green. (The hog’s back fourth fairway lies in background). Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/08/2023
-
Six, par-5, 490. Almost the opposite of the opening par-5, this doglegs right and plays to a relatively flat green fronted by a bunker. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/08/2023
-
Eight, par-4, 402. An outstanding, tough dogleg playing to a well-protected green. Great driving hole. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/08/2023
-
Nine, par-4, 329. Short but lethal: tight fairway; dogleg right; raised and sloping green. A hard finisher from tee to cup. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/08/2023

The drive is hardly a piece of cake at Hop Brook’s first, but each shot may seem tougher than the previous one. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/07/2022
-
A cross hazard–this pond–makes for a risk/reward situation at #1. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/07/2022
-
Fairway two includes a pronounced swale on the way to the green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/07/2022
-
Behind the third green is an unpleasant drop-off that makes a pitch back onto the putting surface difficult. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/07/2022
-
Seven, a mid-length par-3, is well protected by flanking bunkers. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/07/2022
-
Eight is my favorite hole on the course, a rigorous par-4 of 402. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/07/2022
-
1st hole: Par-5, 474. A stream crosses the second-shot landing zone. A risk-reward proposition. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/23/2021
-
3rd hole: Par-4, 355. A pair of golfers moves toward the landing spots of their drives. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/23/2021
-
The fifth: Par-3, 153. Classic tee shot from on high, much higher than when I played HB as a teenager. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/23/2021
-
Six: An outstanding par-5 of 490. Dogleg right. If you want to make it a two-shotter, you’ll need to miss this bunker. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/23/2021
-
The sixth hole from behind, showing the course’s pleasant parkland style. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/23/2021
-
The beautiful 8th hole, a par-4 of 402. Though not seen well in this shot, the fairway ripples nicely. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/23/2021
Great Bang for your buck!!
Great course to prepare you for other courses. The course design couldn’t be better for the size of the area. Not particularly challenging but has its holes that will make you work. 1 and 6 are two tough par 5s. Great par 3 on the 4th hole. Steep downhill crossing over a street. Few gettable birdie holes. The pace is amazing.
The game pace was too slow and some of the green conditions needed maintenance. Staff was nice and the layout was interesting.
Groovy
Have not played this course in probably 8 years. Fun course to play, wish the greens were faster
Friendliest course around
The staff and people you meet at Hop Brook couldn't be nicer. Greens are in great shape and have subtle deceiving breaks you need to pay attention to. All in all this is a hidden gem and I highly recommend it.
And you can't beat Jesse Camille's for Apre Golf!
Hidden gem
Nice little friendly course not too many people know about.
course was in decent shape , fare ways and greens in good shape , play was a little slow at times
Nice Course
I have played Hop Brook a number of times and it never disappoints. The key is to have proper expectations There isn't a fancy clubhouse,no range(but a nice practice green), no attendants grabbing your bag, no restaurant. The course is 9 holes and great for an intermediate golfer like myself. It is not overly challenging. The rating speaks for itself. The conditions are impeccable. The greens are true. In addition it's a nice play to play, with the relaxing rhythm of the Hop Brook cascading throughout your round. East to reach via rt8, rt63, or i84.
Enjoyed
Enjoyed playing the course, hookup with two other golfers and they made the round enjoyable.
Will play again.
