Pocono Hills Golf Course

It’s a very tricky layout. Not long but you need to be accurate. Some blind holes that require local knowledge. Fairways and greens were in good shape

Received a call from course 2 hours before tee time telling me back nine was closed will have to play front twice. When we got there could play front nine twice but number 8 was unplayable. Two other holes were also wet. Not enjoyable. Also back nine is more challenging.

Course changed it’s name was Fernwood. Great course for relaxing play and improving your game. Many challenging holes but not frustrating for the average golfer.

The facility is undergoing a major remodel. The course is not affected.

i was underwhelmed by this course. The conditions were poor. Grass was growing in the bunkers that had no grooming. No rakes available. The grass needed cutting. There was a foursome in front of us that looked like they had never played golf before. They showed no sense of hurrying along and would not wave us through. After a 2.5 hour front 9 we skipped hole 10 to get around them. There was no ranger monitoring play. I would never play here again.

Course was in good shape, greens had just been aerated so I can't fault for that. Not too many people playing that day, so I got out by myself and finished in 2.5 hours. Lots of hidden holes especially on the back side. Lost a couple balls from not knowing where hole was going. Maybe a layout guide for sale would help here, no map of course on scorecard.

The course had 9 holes closed and that was not communicated when we booked the tee time.

There were no rangers and we were put behind a twosome that took >30 minutes to play hole #10.....we ended up driving around them (plenty of space between them and the group in from of them.

In addition the greens had been severely spiked (aerated) with little to no fillin of the holes, so puts were ridiculously not true.

It's been around 8 years since I last played Fernwood and must say that the group I brought (8 of us) were all pleasantly surprised by the conditions and challenge level of the course.

Sure, the weather was great, which always makes it a great day to be out on any course, BUT, while the course is shorter in length than most, the tighter fairways and challenging greens, made the round quite interesting for all of us.....Really, a lot of fun.

You can't beat the price, the service was adequate and location easy to get too.

Went up to the area for the weekend to play a few rounds of golf. Course was in great shape and what you would expect for the area...elevation changes, blind shots, undulating greens. A few holes can feel very tight while others seem more open and getable. Overall, a very fun course to play and a nice challenge.

The course was in nice condition. Staff here is always friendly and helpful. I enjoy playing this course. There are a few severely sloped greens so you have to put your ball in the right spot on approach shots.

Old course. Very mature trees offering tight fairways. Several greens have quite challenging slopes.

I am trying to think of something negative and I am having a hard time. I could have complained about the poor condition of the sand traps, but they have started work on improving them.

The course is in great shape. The rough is not too long but you could pay the price for missing the fairway. The greens are also in great shape. Some greens are very difficult, big breaks and sloped. Several elevated greens make it interesting.

A round is always played 4 hours. And, the staff is great, friendly, and very accomodating. They even drive the cart out to your car and load your clubs, so have a tip handy.

I really love this course.
