VERY nicec course

A lot of tight fairways and side-hill lies. Tee shots will run off fairways on several holes (I defy you to hold the fairway on 16). The greens are excellent, the fairways are mostly good (although there is a little residual damage from previous seasons. The tee boxes are mostly in rough shape, but several are under repair.

Course wanders through a community, but many holes feel isolated. Sure, there is a LONG drive between some tees (13 miles of cart path!), but who cares?

There are no stupid holes on this course (unlike many Poconos courses). Some really beautiful holes (e.g., 16, where you can't hold the fairway).

New beginnings

It’s early in the season so I didn’t expect great conditions. A lot of talk at the end of last season about changes to come. It appears at this point that the focus was on the clubhouse which is to open by the end of the month. As far as the course, tee boxes are below par, fairways are growing in, sand traps have been improved, greens recently aerated so need more growth, a lot of the overgrowth has been cut back. I enjoy this course and hope it will be successful.

Challenging Yet Accessible to All

Played Pocono Golf Club recently and the layout really stood out—awesome design that reminded me a lot of Crystal Springs in NJ, with a great mix of challenge and scenery. The course was in solid shape overall, though the greens were being aerated during my round.

Pace of play was the biggest downside. I went out as a single and ran into multiple groups of 6 and even one group of 8, which slowed things down quite a bit. I ended up having to ask to play through.

Overall, a fun track with a lot to like—just hope pace of play is better managed next time.

Great course

Very challenging! Greens were great for how dry it has been. With the 13 miles of cart path your not playing a 4 hour or quick round which I was ok with. Also had a cart girl Roxy I think very friendly and lots of different drinks reasonable.Overall great day but if your not in the fairway your in trouble and taking strokes!

Great course but

Out standing course and staff. Very welcoming. But…. They are still working to get the course to 100%. Some of the tee boxes were like hitting out of a litter box. We loved the course and will be back. It’s a work in progress and we love the place

Lost sand wedge

I waited around 45 minutes after finishing my round, asking groups after me to see if anyone has found my lost wedge. Nobody!

However, Ryan, who is the director of golf operation at the Poconos Golf course offered me another sand wedge that no one claimed over a year. Even tough it wans't the same brand or loft as my lost wedge, I was impressed for his kindness. It just made my day a lot better! Thank you Ryan and the most friendly staff at the Poconos Golf Club.

Good greens…

The greens were really nice. The tee boxes and fairways were in REALLY BAD shape. The layout of the course is fun.

Great course for the money

It was my first time playing this course and it did not disappoint. The greens and fairways were in good shape. The only work needed on the course would be the tee boxes, they were level butneeding a little tlc. The course is spread out through the mountains of the Poconos. There are some amazing views and you rarely see a house or another hole while your playing. I will definitely be back to play here again.
