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.

Love this course. Maintenance is fantastic, and it’s a great value. Probably the most efficiently run operation I’ve seen. Tony and the staff are on top of everything. Just wish it was closer to my home.

Great course!

The course is very playable for the average once a week golfer but can also be interesting for the low handicapper from the farther tees. The course is kept in great shape despite the hot dry weather.

Nice course, but got stuck behind a foursome playing slowly

Nice course as always, but due to weather, it was cartpath only and the folks in front of us insisted on looking quite a long time for each ball they hit in the woods. I felt the starter could’ve put us on one of the other nine hole legs rather than behind the people he did. Five hours for a round of 18 holes.

Great golf course!

A staff member brings the golf cart to your car as you are unloading your bag. No walking to the bag drop! Unfortunately, they were still aerating the greens of the Ridge nine, so, only 18 holes were playable and the round took 4 hours and 45 minutes to complete. The course is very popular and there were a lot of players for a Monday but it was well worth it. I’m definitely going to play here regularly.

A wonderful experience every time!

Great course and excellent staff. Unfortunately, pace of play was slow because they are still aerating the greens of the Trail nine, so, only 18 out of the 27 holes are open. However, I’m looking forward to playing agian in a couple of weeks when the greens will be beautiful.

Wonderful Course

Excellent fairways, even the uncut portions were in good shape and playable! Greens in the Trail Nine were super fast and challenging. The greens of the Blue Nine had just been aerated and were still a bit slow. Unfortunately, the Ridge Nine was not yet open so the pace of play was a bit slow because there were many players even though it was a Monday. A lot were taking advantage of the good weather.
