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.

Excellent Golf Course in Eastern PA

Blue Ridge Trail did not disappoint! The layout of the course is excellent. The course is challenging, yet fair if you play the correct set of tees. Greens were surprisingly slow for a course that is this nice. Pace of play was a little slow (but for a weekend at a “resort” course it should be expected. We don’t have courses like this in the Cleveland, OH area. Will definitely be back!

Best day!

I have to say that this course is the best public course around. My son and I traveled 40 miles in get there. Worth every mile traveled!! As an older golfer, the tee off placements make the course very fair! Everything was perfect! What made it exceptionally was the pace of play. Cory who was one of the starters was a respectable young man! We will be back. Keep up the great work with this this course. Thanks for a great day with my son!!

Far Exceeded my Expectations!

Wow, what a beautiful course. I travel all over PA for work, and always have my clubs handy. This has to be one of the top, if not the nicest public course I've ever played in all of eastern PA. Great layout, greens, beautiful views, etc. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area!

First Time Playing

Enjoyable day at Blue Ridge

First time playing at this course, which my nephew recommended. Greeted by Glen, the starter, who was so friendly and helpful. People in pro shop and snack bar also friendly. Course was beautifully maintained and laid out. Loved the GPS in the cart. Front 9 moved better than back 9, but overall we moved pretty well. We live out of the area, but we get back periodically so I hope to play again!
