About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 7095 yards
Slope 140
Rating 74.8

Nestled in the rolling hills of northeastern Pennsylvania, Blue Ridge Trail Golf Club offers 27 holes of championship golf that were carefully carved from woodlands and valleys. There are no parallel fairways throughout the entire course, giving each hole a secluded setting. The golf course offers plenty of variety, which has made it a popular venue for outings and tournaments. The holes are divided into nines that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The Blue/Ridge Course is both scenic and challenging. The courses are almost equal in length but the Blue nine is considered slightly more difficult, although the Ridge nine possesses two of the few water holes at the club. Mature trees frame most of the holes and there are also strategically placed bunkers along the greensides.

Mountain Golf at its Finest

Been 20 years since I first play BRT and have always wanted to come back. It did not disappoint.

Tees, fairways and greens in very good condition. Bunkers were dry and raked. Pace was 4.5 hrs. On a Saturday. Was paired with some very nice people, including a former MLB Pitcher.

Great day on a great course! Definitely will not wait 20 more years to come back.

Impressive

Despite a drizzle throughout the round course conditions remained remarkable. This course challenges you to hit the fairways and follow with tight landings on the greens. The golf experience rivals what you would expect on a private course.

Traveling Texan

Great course! From tee to green it’s in really good shape. The greens are a little inconsistent when it comes to speed. Overall had a great time playing and seeing all the wildlife.

Great course

Great course, will play there again, only issue with the pace of play was they had a fathers day tournament using 9 of their 27 holes, but were funneling 2 of their front 9 holes into on 9 hole back course.

Course layout is great

Nice open tree lined fairways. Sand was fluffy and well maintained. Greens did not appear to be in good shape, but that was deceiving as the ball would bite on the green. Roll was fast and true. All in all this course was a very pleasant surprise. Certainly worth playing. Very reasonable rates for the care management puts into the course.

Always pleases, greens and traps good

I’ve played here about five times the past year which is a lot since it’s far from my home. But I enjoy it every time. I play in all seasons and the courses are kept in top shape. I like the variety. Greens putt consistently. Sand traps are full of nicely kept sand.

They run it pretty well. Looking forward to using the dining area soon post Covid. Driving range is good. Lots of tees for all skills.

Recommendations I’d make are to change the loud speakers that announce names that are up to tee soon. I’d put one over AT the range so the one by the building doesn’t have to be so loud and interrupt teeing off. It’s the one aspect that doesn’t match the usual professionally run course.

I’ve walked the course and the holes are widely spaced at times. So it’s a long walk.

I greatly dislike video commercials to play on the cart screen while I golf. I want to leave that garbage behind when I get away to play. I’ll pay a extra dollar or so. Some other courses started doing that and I hope the trend does quickly. It may make me avoid courses that do it. I feel that strongly about it. Give us a break from the media

But again I like the course and operations here.
