The Poconos Club

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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

Other than the tee boxes they seem to be a great job. Great to see it in playable shape

Tee boxes were very bad, lots a weeds very little grass. Fairways had lots a burn out. Did like that were yardage markers.

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.

Nice course, a little confusing finding holes but the course was beautiful

Enjoyed the course, the layout was not my favorite. It's really spread out

This course could be a gem if some money is put towards improving the conditions.

Greens and fairways were ok but tee tee boxes were absolutely awful.

The layout was great with some really spectacular views due to dramatic elevation changes but overall, the course needs a lot of work.

Played with my wife as a twosome and pace was good until the 5th hole when we caught up to a foursome.

Skipped that hole because we didn’t want to deal with waiting for them to let us play thru.

Hit another foursome on the next hole which let us play thru on the 10th.

Played one or two holes and then caught up to everybody else that was ahead of us. Multiple groups were ahead of us by that time so the pace was slow from that point on. Skipped the 18th.

If the course was full, it would’ve been very slow the entire round.

Course was in good condition,,need to repair some tee boxes with grass. Must be able to hit controlled shots to play from the fairways. Good elevation changes on several holes. Greens were in good condition. Fun day of golf.

Really beautiful course, lot of elevation changes. Long cart rides between holes. 13th hole is a terrible design with a dog leg and a two story elevated green. Tee boxes were not perfect, but the fairways were. The greens were soft and consistent.
