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
Narrow, But Fair
Narrow fairways with many blind tee shots. It’s a course where the more you play it, the better you’ll play it.
Don't let the front 9 fool you
Checked the scorecard before I played wondering why it was slope rated higher than average. Front 9 was straightforward and average difficulty. Things get more serious on the back.
Multiple elevated/slanted greens, uphill approach and tee shots, blind shots, very narrow fairways and blocked doglegs. Par 3s are longer than average as well. Definitely felt challenged but enjoyed the round. The course was in nice shape. Greens were in great shape and rolled true.
Bring your precision and iron game if you're a long hitter. Well worth a round for the rates.
Nice course for the money
The course course is kept in very nice condition. The greens and tee boxes were in good shape. The fairways were nice and green throughout. All that is left is for you to hit the ball straight because the fairways are narrow
Horrible pace of play
I understand the need to recoup last year’s costs due to covid. But if you’re going to let everyone go out whenever they want, with no one to monitor tee times, you won’t have any golfers! Yes, the conditions and rates are great. However, I was ready to walk off after 10. I was waiting 7-10 minutes per shot! 5 hour round (i played one ball and shot a 78 - this wasn’t a “poor golfer” issue. And why is the ranger driving around - when all he is doing is that - driving around?! This is not the first poor pace of play review on this course. It ruins the temp of the game and it is less than enjoyable. I hope things improve going forward.
Great golf day at Pocono Hills
Course was in excellent shape except for a couple wet areas...greens were in excellent condition play was a little slow saw a ranger on the 4th hole after that did not see one definitely need one especially on weekends to keep things moving
