Pocono Hills Golf Course

got a great deal to play at Fernwood and took the nice drive up there from Philly. After reading the reviews that were pretty positive I wanted to see for myself.. The front 9 plays 2990 yds from the back tees and with the elevation, thin air and firm ground the course played much shorter than that.. Even the 600 yd par 5 6th hole was reachable in 2 for the good player.. For the most part the conditions were good and greens had few if any ball marks.. The back 9 had some really quirky, tight and awkward holes. The sand traps were hard pan in most cases and need work.. The 350 yd 18th hole plays downhill and both of us drove the ball within 10 yds of the green. Fernwood is a decent course and certainly a great value for what we paid but its far from being a what any good player would consider great golf..

The greens were very well kept as well as the rest of the course. The negatives are:
•Tight fairways
•Severely sloped fairways
•lose many balls in the bottom of the fairways (The slope)
•Too many people wandering around on the back 9 holes. Guests, not golfers!

We enjoyed our round very much and while it wasn't anything spectacular it was quite serviceable. Not crowded on a Saturday afternoon, so that's a plus. At the turn, we got some hot dogs which were good. They had a cart girl going around which we saw a couple of times. All the things a good golf course should have.

The front was not nearly as tight as described in some of the posts and while the back 9 does bend around the villas /condos, they don't affect anything. A good array of holes with some elevated greens, short par threes and blind shots.

A little hard to find, but once there the staff picked up our clubs and from the parking lot in a cart and let us on the course before our tee time as a two-some because we were ready and due to tee off after two four-somes.

Greens, fairways better than good
Sand traps ugly, but noticed some repairs going on.

PLayed with my grandson nine holes front nine, several times. Back nine to tight & blind greens for beginners. Golf course is the best thing about resort.

played on Friday at 8 finished at 11:20 with a 3 some in very good shape greens and fairways better than expected would play it again in a heartbeat!

We booked at the last minute in the afternoon while on a golf trip to the Poconos.
Course has some 'quirky' holes for sure , traps were like hitting off the road, but for the most part, fairways and greens were in pretty good shape for early spring. More than a few blind shots.....
Front 9 plays through wooded areas, back 9 through the Resort.
Course isn't long, but a well placed tee shot is needed on many holes.
Having a cart was nice as we hadn't played here before and it was nice to take a ride up and get a lay of the land on holes like #4.
We absolutely owned the place as there was nobody in front of us, and ripped through the round.
Staff was friendly and fun.
All in all, a good time!

Nice day for April still snow around but excellent course conditions.Lucky paired up with locals as a few very quirky very friendly staff and great pace of play.

I played this course after work while away on business. Overall not a bad course. The bunkers weren't very well kept and were packed hard dirt. The greens were well kept but were slightly slower than most courses I've played. Fairways were well kept but holes were short so I recommend teeing up from the blues if you are a heavy hitter. I played at around 2 o'clock on a Monday and played solo. I completed my round in approximately 2 1/2 hours. I played for $16 and wouldn't recommend paying over $25 for the course as there are nicer courses in the area at competitive prices.

Great fairways and greens. Enjoyed playing. Great value,too.

Course was in great shape for being mid September.. Green were absolutley perfect!! A couple of elevated greens that were really challenging, also a lot of tight narrow fairways..

Only issue was speed of play.. I played in under 3.5 hours in a twosome which is still great time but a lot of people playing very slow.. Could've played under 3 hours if speed was flowing.. Too many groups let out not put together

You will use all your clubs, as holes are different. Placement, and straight are keys to scoring well.

Fun course to play. Front nine provides terrain challenge with strong sloping fairways and greens and long par 5 with blind fairway landing zone from tee. Back nine presents some water but two highly elevated dogleg left greens and very narrow fairways. I always enjoy this course. .

The course is in good shape, well manicured and challenging. Many of the greens are sloped and make paring the hole difficult.
I love the course because of the many challenges.

Relatively short holes, some blind green shots. Greens in great shape. Did not eat there. Some nice scenic views. Not very crowded. Good hole description at tee with ball washers and garbage cans at every hole. Pro shop could do more business if they sold golf shoe spikes and maybe regripped clubs

Front nine was good but back nine runs through timeshares on both sides of very tight fairways. Bring llots of balls.

Played 18 with cart through Golf Now for $15.00 conditions very good nice challenges great value will return

We parked our car and they met us with our cart! Staff was very frindly/helpful. For first time playing there they didn't have a yardage book or printed score card to help but we lucked out with someone that joined us that played here before, a lot of slop on the fairways & greens. We had a great time, you gotta play this place at least once.

Drove an hour and half from the city hoping for a nice 18-hole course in the pocono's area, but was disappointed. Many of the holes were surrounded by houses with narrow and curvey fairways, just not what I expected. Seems like the whole course is going through renovations at this time and for now I would think that the course is good only for practices at the moment. Other than that, most of the staff were very friendly and kind.

Course in good condition. Tough course not easy to score on, but enjoyed playing it. Great senior rate.
