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.

Great Shape

Great day of golf. Course was in great shape. Greens held well. Only complaint, no beverage cart and you have to go out of your way to go back to clubhouse... Overall, good experience!

Pocono hills okay

A couple of holes are a little challenging due to the slope, but overall a nice little course. Too bad you can't use your scores for your handicap

Very nice course

This is a interesting layout with good fairways and nice greens. There are a few weird holes that are a real hand full to manage. Great value.

Love it every time

i cannot recommend Pocono Hills enough.

We drive up from Essex County New Jersey because we love this course.

The staff is incredibly friendly (unlike the grumps in NJ).

The course is in very good condition; it also drains well... we were stuck in a 45 minute downpour but when it cleared the conditions were fine.

Greens and fairways are in excellent condition for August and they have been moving the tee boxes so they are not too chewed up.

I really enjoy the challenges of the 4 or 5 blind holes and appreciate the mix of wide and narrow fairways.

One word of warning, don't try to walk this course... the hills will kill you.

I strongly suggest you give this course a try.

perfect hidden gem

not to long . not too difficult. pretty good conditions, nestled in the woods. greens pretty good shape.

starts off very easy then has some interesting holes.

got off early and it played superfast. some holes are hilly so i imagine in spots it can get slow.

did enjoy the round.
