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.

Needs work

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.

Good course with tight fairways.

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.

Beautiful course; distance between holes

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.

Nice 4th at Pocono Hills

The place is in great shape. A little wet due to recent rain but still very good shape. 3rd & 4th Holes are always tricky. The only down side, no food/drink cart.
