Beautiful Day

Very nice day at Poconos Club today. I went out solo, the guys at the front desk and the starter were awesome and on point...went from the parking lot to the first tee in about 6-7 minutes. Very private, no two holes are alike and they're very spread apart. Lots of beautiful views and remember to bring your camera for the money shot on 16. Bring extra balls as well, this course will eat them up, but well worth it! See you again next week!

Course has made some improvements under new ownership. Most greens were good, but a few had bare patches that I’m sure they’re working on. Fairways were good, rough not too thick. Tee boxes were surprisingly poor, and many bunkers needed sand and attention. Glad to see trees were removed on right side approach to 18th green. A slow 5 hour round, mostly due to waiting at the par 3s. Didn’t see a ranger or anyone to move the pace along. But it’s a fun and challenging mountain course that plays tougher than its yardage

Poconos Club in great shape

First time playing the course this year. Since new management has taken over the course is kept in much better shape and some of its holes are a real pleasure to play. I believe the 16th hole is at the top of the mountain and and offers majestic views of the mountainside which was a real treat to tee off from. The course has some great character as you drive throughout the countryside community as one of the cool quirky features of the course. The weather didn’t Fully co-operate but with the hot deal discount I played on a Sunday afternoon for 25 bucks which was money well spent.

Short in yardage but not easy

Great time playing this course. Fairways are in good shape. Greens are in real good shape. The yardage is short but when you approach the greens it’s game on! Looking forward to playing this course again in July.

5.5 hours for 1 round of golf

There is no ranger and people were playing so so so so slow.

It took us a little more than 5 hours and 30 minutes to finish. We spent most of the time waiting at the tee box for the fairways to clear. So many horse flies and other flying insects.

The tee boxes were covered with rocks, not to mention they were barely covered with grass.

The only good aspect about this course would be the staff.

Spring 25

Considering the amount of rain the area had, the course was in good shape. There were wet spots on the course but the fairways were playable 8 the greens were in good condition
