Making good progress

I was a member here for years. The course that was always the premier NEPA layout with stunning views had fallen into disrepair. The membership dues became to high for the value offered which is saying a lot given its pedigree. Even a mediocre Paupack Hills is worth playing. The new owner and superintendent have got things moving in the right direction. The greens are excellent, smooth and true. The fairways are like hitting off a carpet. The tee-boxes are better each time I play (please level #14 one of these days). The bunkers are a mess but I am told that project begins next year and the rough around the greens is still spotty, sometimes hardpan or tufts between hardpan which can be frustrating for just a slightly errant shot. Overall, I would say the course I fell in love with and joined 20 years ago is making a comeback. Keep it up!

Beautiful course. Not 5 star review this round:(

Been playing here every other golf game this season. Been exceptional from course development to staff. Staff lacking professionalism this round, don’t feel I was charged accordingly with my group. Asked questions but didn’t get proper answer. Need some training and they’ll be fine. Only reason not going 5 star today.

Fun Course in North Central PA!!

We were in the area and played Paupack Hills. Very enjoyable course in good condition. For a hilly course, it was very straight forward and no real sneaky holes. Exception may be #10 with drivable pond in front, but I birdied it so I liked that hole. We played mid week in October, so felt like we had the course to ourselves. Would definitely play the course again if in the area.

Coming into form

I was member here for several years and left a few years back because the conditions had deteriorated. I play at least once a year to see how it’s progressing with the new owners and I am happy to report it’s coming back after a few years with the new regime. The greens are excellent and the fairways are beautiful to hit off of. Tees are mostly back to form. The bunkers must be last on the list because they are not yet up to the level of the rest of the course and pretty much unplayable in some cases. Overall it made me excited to see this gem looking a lot more like her old self.

and we had course to ourselves i would guess because of cost. in short very nice but too expensive

Great course!

Played at Paupack Hills many times in the past, but haven’t played there for the last 4 or 5 years. What a pleasant surprise. The layout was always awesome but the course conditions are so much better than I remember. Someone knows what they’re doing. Playing the ball down was no problem. We played the day after a big rain storm and the course was still very playable. The bunkers need some love but the rest of the course was a pleasure to play.

Great Service Great Fun

Had a group of 8 golfers out to Paupack Hills for our annual mock Ryder Cup event. The course was in great shape, the service and management team was extremely accommodating. Good fun was had by all.

Excellent experience

Traveling to the lake for the weekend, and wanted to try out a new course. I am so glad that I did! Jack was very nice and helpful! The only negative aspect of the experience was that the course was quite wet from all the rain we’ve had … nothing you can do about that! It was a great time.

Fun, challenging course

The course was well kept and had a unique layout. Tighter off the tee and tricky greens made for a nice challenge.

Jack, the Course Pro, was also a class act and was very accommodating for our group.

Will come back if I’m in the area again.

round 2

another great round at paupack hills yesterday ... the course is the best value in the area ... greens are near perfect and the light rain we got softened them up just enough ... finally parred the challenging short dogleg left 3rd hole ( being a lefty it goes against my draw ) followed that with a bird on #4 ... finished the front at 40 just before a huge thunderstorm came rolling in ... after a 40ish minute delay got back out there but forgot my game in the bar finished the back with a 46 ... afterwards back to the restaurant / bar for a couple of beers and food ( highly recommend the short ribs ) ... in town till monday so hopefully I can get out there for 2 more rounds ...
