Pocono Hills Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Affordable golf
Always come here on Saturday or Sunday to play a round by myself. Majority of the time the pace of play is decent and groups let you play through for the most part. Lots of new people out there playing from the white tees though so if you are a group beware you may get stuck behind a slow foursome. Little suggestion for someone who started playing last year if you can't drive the ball more than 100 yards with out going into the woods or middle of fairway on the hole over play from the reds... Much more enjoyable and you don't hold people up. Two groups were out there struggling Saturday morning was a funny watch lol. Overall course is the cheapest and best in the Poconos, greens are fast and true. Wish they would nuke hole 10 of the face of the earth though.
Nice find in the Poconos
Played for the first time here. Staff were friendly, course was in good condition with a couple of exceptions. Would definitely be back.
Great Day To Be Golfing
The course was in great shape. The ground crew were busy all day keeping the leaves out of the fairways and off the greens. Future repairs and up grades needed in the sand traps and lady tee boxs to complete the overall near perfect conditions. Of course if your not in the traps it doen't matter. I wasn't in any of them today and shot my low round for the season, playing with my daughter who also posted her low round for the season.
Can't wait to play there again.
Day oot with my daughter.
Very enjoyable day of golf. Spoke with the wait staff over lunch and found them to be friendly and informative about other attractions in the area. Also spoke with one of the course technicians about up coming work on the sand traps, all positive.
Wonderfull Round of Golf
I played with my daughter for the first time this year and really enjoyed our time togther playing this course. The fairways were kept clear of leaves and the greens were remarkable for a public course. Several of the traps could be edged and sand added. All & all a nice day.
It lives up to its name but it's fair some blind Shots but don't putt above the hole.I A lot of deer
.
Course was still recovering from recent heavy rain.
Some very demanding tight targets.
#10 was tough!
