Split Rock Golf Club - South Course

I loved the course and views from the different holes. For me personally, the course was a little too difficult. I don't hit the ball very far and there were several holes where you needed to clear obstacles in one shot. The fairways were narrow and the first cut put you into some heavy grass. Needless to say, I went through a lot of golf balls, but we still had fun.

This is one of the best, but one of the most challenging courses I have ever played. It is very well kept. Greens and fairways were in great shape. The food at the restaurant/club house was absolutely delicious. Staff was very nice. We liked it so much we booked another tee time for 2 days from after we just played.

We agreed to play for $32 each and found when we got to the course we had to play the South course (nine holes twice). I tried to exchange for the North but was denied. No one was playing either course which enabled us to finish the round in less than 3 hours. The fellow was very unaccomodating and the course was not in decent shape. With a timeshare we were going to play multiple times. The girl giving out carts was pleasant though.

The course was like playing in a cow pasture.

Lost balls in the middle of the fairway due to gigantic clumps of mowed grass.

They should not have charged full price knowing full on the conditions.

We happened to play on a very busy day early in season, course fairways awesome greens awesome, staff incredibly friendly, bunkers were bad was only complaint but it was early in season.

Good shape, greens a little slow but nice layout, challenging holes

I play many of the public courses in the Pocono Mountains and I must say this is one of the most challenging layouts. It is a hilly terrain with some doglegs, uphill and downhill holes. there are several wetlands throughout and an average amount of sand traps. The fairways are a nice width but veer off right or left and you are in the woods with no shot out. The greens are always in nice shape but not very fast. It's a tricky course but not quirky, and no two holes are the same. It's fun to play and a good test.

Made reservations for split rock that we had played before on golf now for 18 holes and cart. When we got there we were were told we had play the 9 hole course 2 times. That’s not what we had signed up for. It did not look busy or that they had anything going on . We told the man at the desk that we thought we were playing the 18 hole course that we had played before and would like to play that course. The man said he could not let us do that. So we played the 9 hole course that was not a very good course and did not enjoy that course.

have played a few times but not in years.course conditions awesome view spectacular and pace of play excellent. ..will be back in time for change of fall color..

This is my first written review and I will submit more in the future. I felt compelled to send this write-up because of how truly great I think this course is. I have played many courses (probably over 50 including many Private clubs) in PA and this is probably in my top 3. During this round I paid for my friends greens fee as he has taken me to his Private club several times. My buddy, a lifetime golfer also, commented that Split Rock was in phenomenal shape and played well. Since it was my buddies first time on the course we played from the whites. Unlike many courses, there is significant changes in the course difficulty between the tee boxes (not just length). The course wanders through the Pocono mountain and my understanding is that over the 18 holes there is a 500 ft. vertical difference. I could drone on but would highly recommend the course

Booked a Hot Deal to play w/ my oldest son. I did not realize that we were limited to only playing the South course (9 holes) twice. Was very disappointed about that. The last time I played the course was in a charity outing about 6 weeks ago on the North course. That round was fabulous. I will not bother with Hot Deals at this course anymore. There are much better options available in the area.

All aspects of this course are just outstanding and excellent. White tees at 6,300 yards a bit tough for a 20 handicap, however yellow tees were perfect to make round fun. Interesting course layout, with good iron play rewarded. Worth your time and money!

One of the most beautiful courses I've ever played,

First time playing course. Friendly front 9, back 9 more challenging. Lots of uphill and downhill lies. Starter very friendly and gave me valuable insight on playing course (driver, maybe 4 times), target golf! Condition of course was very good, even with rain prior night. Will look forward to playing again!

Split Rock is a beautiful facility, however they only let you play there South, nine hole course twice on a hot deal. If you can get a better 18 hole rate somewhere else I would recommend it.

This is truly a beautiful course. But as a warning , it was extremely difficult for me. The only reason for my downgrading is the degree of difficulty in playing. However, low handicap players should have little difficulty playing Split Rock . There are many blind shots and hazards not seen from the fairway. Once a ball is in the rough or beyond take a quick look and move on. Highly recommend a GPS or range book to help scope out shots. Intermediate players have a better chance for lower scores after the first time playing. Good luck!

Its a beautiful course, well conditioned, great staff, the best in the region. However, the course is not for the high handicap or beginner player. We came upon a family with two kids that should never been allowed to play. Also, were greatly slowed down by foursomes of inebriated players. Players searching for balls also slows things up. Off the rough its impossible ti find balls...just give up. Inspite of all this, I highly recommend the course for competent players...great place.
