Split Rock Golf Club - North Course
About
Split Rock Resort & Golf Club is nestled in the western region of the Pocono Mountains along the banks of Lake Harmony. The club has 27 holes of championship golf as well as an 18-hole miniature golf course for the kids. Split Rock's North Course is an 18-hole layout that is supplemented by the South nine, which can be combined with either the front or back nine of the North. Stretching to 7,150 yards from the tips, the North Course offers plenty of room with several holes that will appeal to long hitters. Mature trees line the fairways and strategically placed bunkers surround the greens on every hole. Water hazards make an appearance on only four holes but they are memorable ones, especially par-5 fifth where golfers have to contend with not one but two lakes.

Golfer Reviews
Split Rock , Head's up
The course was in descent condition.The starter's were great. Friendly informative got me out a little bit early. But the biggest complaint was I was there 2 hrs early to sit down in the club house bar and restaurant to have a drink and get something to eat & when I got there they sent me away said it was closed because of an outing. Sent me down stairs to a cafeteria for hot dogs and a can of beer. Would have liked a head's up because I would have came another day for the price I would like have all amenities available. So I was not feeling well about playing there right off the bat. Wasn't happy with that. Starting a round upset doesn't make for a great day of golfing
Safety
Safety issues , they have no system in place when thunderstorms and lightning rolls in and no fallout shelters no warning sirens , and at the golf club shop when we came back and the guy says yeah you play at your own risk , you guys have all that money and it's a beautiful course I think you need to take the time and think of safety of your golfers that come there to enjoy a beautiful time I was never told or did I sign any kind of waiver to play at my own risk , horrible experience and a golf pro was an self-centered
Fun course
Greens are in good shape fairways were good but a lot of dead grass around probably due to lots of rain between cuts. Staff is great will play again
Good...not great
Conditions were not the greatest. The course was extremely dry for some reason, the ball was bouncing very high in the air and you had to play short of the green for the most part. Great views throughout the course.
Great fun!!
Course was in nice shape. Greens were rolling true, very scenic. Worth the 30 minute drive for me. Brian in the proshop is a great representation of who you want welcoming people to your course and resort. Professional and pleasant.
Little brother to the course across the street
Split Rock isn't bad. Its a nice layout with a terrific clubhouse...but its definitely the little brother to Jack Frost which is across the way from it. The day we played the greens were still recovering from aeration and the grass length was quite inconsistent, making it almost impossible to hole a putt. I would like to see it at its best, but it really doesn't compare to Jack Frost -- and if I am driving an hour and a half, Im going to play Jack Frost. It would make for a good 36 hole day to play them both...their driveways literally face each other.
The woods might as well be water
Split Rock is a pretty course and in decent shape, but if you are beyond the rough your ball is gone. The rough is narrow, and the woods have thick underbrush that might as well be water. If you are an average golfer and treat these woods as anything other than "red stake" hazards it will take you a long time to play this course. So bring extra balls...I actually thought that I might run out :D
Bring your GPS
I showed up bought the course guide and off we went. The course guide offers general overview but not much specific yardage. The course has stakes for 200/150 and 100...but only one many times so determining the angle is difficult. The course is overgrown in all areas outside of fairways and greens. So you best keep ball in play or it is lost. The marsh hazards are so overgrown that unexpected blind shots occur more frequently than imagined. Paying a buck to enter the facility was also a real head scratcher...Impossible to walk here. The distances between green and tee is equal to the actual course...Really. Across the street is Jack Frost National....Better to go there. Glad I played it once.......Nuff said.
Thanks GolfNow
I will say that I got a GolfNow steep discount on a Sunday afternoon tee time, and without that discount, what the course delivered would have fallen short of expectations. Like others have said, there are some patchy spots and burnout (but it IS August) - all of which are forgivable for $35 - but maybe not for the rack rate of $65. The course offers beautiful views. I am a fairly new golfer, and the course was challenging. At the tee, you often had to decide between a bigger risk muscle shot or more accurate shorter shots. Sometimes the risky shots were rewarded with fantastic approach shot lies, sometimes not. A lot of bunkers, to which on this day, my ball was magnetically attracted (lol). A lot of doglegs and carries. Big challenging greens. Pace of play was amazing for a Sunday afternoon - I encountered TWO other golfers my entire round. Pace Cavite emptor- it was a humid 90+ degree Sunday afternoon - so the smarter golfers were all having lunch by the time I was teeing off..lol.. Well placed water jugs and portas, silent electric carts. Again, all in all a great experience for the money. I am fortunate to live in an area with so many golf courses. There is a much more popular course VERY close to this one, but I liked the no-pressure pace of play here, so for that, the generally slightly neglected conditions were forgivable.
Foot Golf
Played footgolf for the first time with two friends yesterday. Course was in pristine condition. Walked the course, we were the only souls there. Our tee time was 10am. Course overall was challenging. It was a blast. Can not beat the price of $10 on golfnow.
I would recommend to the course to put a small row boat or something by the big pond on hole 13 or 14 so when a foot golfer smacks their shot into the drink they can go in and get it.
fantastic as usual
Very nice. Challenging after the firs hole. Wish I could play more often.
NICE COURSE
I REALLY LIKED THE COURSE. AT TIMES IT WAS DIFFICULT. IT REMINDED ME OF GREEN MT. NATIONAL IN KILLINGTON VERMONT. THE GREENS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE. THIS COULD BE A GREAT COURSE IF IT WAS MANICURED A COUPLE OF TWEETS BETTER AND THE FAIRWAYS BLOWN OFF. I WOULD PLAY THIS COURSE AGAIN. I WILL COME BACK IN OCTOBER WHEN THE LEAVES CHANGE. I'M LOOKING FOWARD TO IT.
A great day and round of golf
The course a pleasure to play,not easy .
Friendly staff.
The weather was near perfect,will be going back often..
I miss the old days
This course was in much better shape about five years ago before the owner gave management rights to his daughter. The fairways had lots of clippings and the greens had many dead spots. The course as a hole needs more than 3 people working the course. Nepotism at its finest.
A MUST Play Course!!!!!!
Loved it!!!! This course has a fabulous layout and was in great shape. The fairways were perfect and the greens were very smooth. After your round visit the Sunset Green Restaurant upstairs in the club house, the food is awesome and if its a nice day sit out on the patio for another great view... Can't wait to go back....
