About
Surrounded by the Pocono Mountains, the Pocono Hills Golf Course (formerly Fernwood Resort & Country Club) was carefully carved from wooded hillsides. Condos and other residences were later built near the golf course and although they are situated quite close, the round is still enjoyable. The layout is tight with narrow fairways that are lined with trees. The front nine is easier than the back where more dramatic elevation changes come into play. Many of the greens have elevations of over 50 feet, making approach shots a formidable test. There are also a number of tricky doglegs that are practically 90 degree turns. The layout rewards straight, accurate drives and the greens putt fast and true. There are a number of challenging holes, especially the 10th and 14th, but overall Pocono Hills Golf Course is approachable enough for all skill levels.

Golfer Reviews
Still great bang for your buck.
I am biased in the review because I shot a PR but this course it great bang for your buck. It was a holiday weekend and we still finished under 4.5 hours. Some greens and tee boxes need attention and the bunkers need some TLC. Has a nice restaurant, The Warehouse with a decent selection of beers.
Pocono Hills
Great layout with a lot of elevation changes. Overall the course was in good shape, but the putting greens did need a little work mainly due to the heavy rains over the past week. Price and pacs of play was great. No driving range.
Getting better, still weird
Under good circumstances, this is an odd course (several narrow, blind shots, into bending/sloped fairways), but last year the greens were horrific (most were unputtable). Things have been improving this year, but are not yet good. It's OK if you want to get in a quick round.
Greens are terrible
This place used to be one of the nicest now it’s terrible the greens are the worst I have ever played on. There is patchy spots all over the greens were it’s just dirt and we’re not talking on one or two it’s most of them. It’s a shame this used to be a beautiful golf course.
Decline in quality
Used to enjoy playing here. It’s a quirky course with some weird holes, but was always interesting and well maintained. Sadly, the maintenance is not what it used to be. Tee boxes were hit and miss, fairways and rough okay, but the greens are in bad shape. Filled with bare patches, crab grass, and other issues. Putts bounce along instead of rolling. Cart paths are starting to deteriorate. Hopefully they will put some money into the course and restore it to its former condition.
Horrible
A course that was always quirky but nice to come to because the greens were in good shape, is now horrible because they fired a very good greens keeper , and replaced him with a mechanic who knows nothing about how to grow grass and maintain it.
What a shame!
Greens
The greens were in real bad shape. Not grass covered and bumpy
I like this course
I like this course a lot . Sadly the greens need work and care.
Been a while
I used to play this course regularly when I lived in the area.
Always enjoyed the layout, which is challenging, but still fun enough for beginners.
Fairways and rough were in great condition. Surprisingly and kind of disappointing were the conditions of the greens. Almost all of them were chewed up or burnt out.
Overall best value for the money in the entire area.
Bad Greens
The course was in good shape, but the greens were a mess.
