You have to drive well

At times this round felt more like a real estate tour than a round of golf. Miles and miles of cart driving. That added up to a round over 5.5 hours. Even though we had excellent fall weather and CCP is in a beautiful place in the world, it felt like a long round. The Staff were super friendly and accommodating. There was a frost delay that morning but slotted me in as soon as they could. The course is a nice mix of short and long holes. IMHO, the par 3s is where the challenge is at CCP. Overall, the conditions were very good. The greens rolled slow and not because there is a lot of slope on them. This is a tree lined course and you can't spray it without penalty. CCP is a short, sporty course that you should play at least once.

Fall golf

I have always enjoyed Country Club of the Poconos Golf course. It is one of the most unique and beautiful courses in the Poconos with it's ups downs narrow fairways but generous greens. Breathtaking mountain views are especially in the fall is nothing short of awe inspiring. Fairways are a little tired this time of year but the greens were in excellent shape. I have played CCP more than any of the Pocono tracks we have here this being my first review. Pocono Hills being second. I do consider CCP my home course. I would recommend this course to anyone who enjoys a good challenge. As CCP has plenty of blind drives down hills up and around corners. Holes where you nay be tempted do try the impossible and the wise choice is to lay up. All in all it is a great course to play golf enjoy spectacular scenery and wildlife at the same time

Breath taking views

The course was recommended by Shawnee Village staff.

The front nine was closed, under repair.

The greens were fine,

The tee blocks were ok,

The fairways were in awful shape,

The restaurant was closed,

The staff were polite

The course has breath taking views, too bad it's not maintained properly.

I would play it again if it had all of the above deficiencies repaired.

Greens were recently aerated, and back nine was closed. Had to play front nine twice. Was disappointed with conditions of the fairways and rough. A lot of bare patches on fairways, and rough was overgrown. I hope they’re not neglecting the maintenance, as they were advertising the course was for sale earlier this year. Sad to see a formerly well maintained course go downhill. On the positive side, pace of play was terrific, staff friendly and accommodating, and it’s always a good value.
