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.

This course is great

Best condition in the Poconos

There was a groundskeeper riding around the course with a leaf blower . After each foursome finished the green and went to next tee he went to green and blew any leaves and debris off for the next group!!!!

Who does that??????????????

Unbelievable Course

I had played here 20 years ago and hated it. I played a few weeks ago and was blown away by the conditions on every hole. Don’t let the distance fool you. This is a tough course requiring accuracy and intelligence. My only criticism is no practice putting green. This is a great course play

Tough course for a lefty

Could use some tree maintenance. Way too many big trees with over hanging limbs. Makes it almost impossible to hit off some tees. Could probably eliminate Hole 17 all together, who makes a hole turn 90 degrees and give you nowhere to land the ball for your first shot. Greens are always very sloped and hard to keep the ball on the green.

Best Pocono Mountain Course This Year

I've played several different local Pocono courses this year and this is the best of them. Super interesting layout. Greens are on the same level as top private courses. Fairways are ok, rough is reasonable. Bunkers are to be played as ground under repair, which is the norm around here this year. I guess sand is expensive/unavailable. I'll be back again and again to play here and when you get a $20 hot deal it's a steal.
