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.

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.

Cart path only

I know it’s necessary to guard your course, but my playing partner is a senior citizen with breathing problems . It was very difficult for him for cartpath only . Love the course, wishing Mother Nature helps improve conditions soon.

The only complaint is the pace of play somehow they’ll be backed up on day with less than 20 cars in the parking lot and they have 27 holes besides that it’s great.

Fantastic course, price, and conditions

Played on a cool Friday, and the pace was fast. Never waited on a tee.

Greens and tee boxes were in great shape. Probably the best I've played in the Poconos this year. It's also an interesting course. Very good design, but not particularly long.

Given the quality of the course (and GPS in the carts), the price is really good. I'd play here regularly, but it's a long drive for me. Overall, an excellent day.

Beatiful Fall Outing

Booked a lee time the morning of my round, Tuesday 10/24/23 Just two of us and no other golfers were added to our group! There was a foursome in front of us who could have moved a little faster. We didn't let it ruin our day. The started got us out before our tee time. She was very pleasant, thanks!

I always enjoy paying Blue Ridge Trail. Great staff, great course, and for me great weather every time.

Great despite rain

A very nice course. I play here once a year, meeting a friend halfway. We each drive 3 hours, and we played Jack Frost the afternoon before. They were running a tournament, but with 27 holes still had room for us. We each donated $20 after they told us the tournament raised money for veterans to spend time at a camp about an hour away. Sounded like money well spent. It poured rain for a few holes and the carts immediately informed us it was cart path only, which made plenty of sense. Highly recommend this course.

Outstanding value!

My wife and I are recently retired and are doing a 50 state golf challenge. We are so glad we chose Blue Ridge Trail for our PA course. By far the best value of any we have played. Very nicely laid out course with great turf conditions all around. Greens were a little tough to read but true and just the right quickness. Staff was very friendly and the philly cheese steak sandwich was outstanding. Highky recommend and hope to be able to play it again on our next trip through the area.
