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.

Course drains well

I thought the place would be a swamp after the rain we had the day before but it drained well. Cart path only always sucks but we expected it.

Grees recently punched and topdressed Ridge was a little bumpy but Trail was a little more puttable. If we don't get hammered with anymore rain, the course should be perfect if a few days.

Nice Course.

Course is great. They were aerating a few fairways and only reason for not getting a 5 star in that category.

Fantastic Course but terrible pace of play

I religiously play golf at this beautiful course, but there always seems to be only one problem…. The pace of play. I never understood why people who have never played the game of golf before come to this course. Either that or this course just seems to take in as much money as possible. I can finish a slow round of golf in about 3 hours, and that is with my awful swing. If I can do it, so can you. I’ve never quit in the middle of a round until this year, and I have done so twice already, because I wanted to save the headache and not wait another 4 hours to finish my remaining two holes of golf. Don’t let me fool you. It’s a fantastic course, but something needs to be done about the pace.

Beautiful Gem

Started off as a twosome and after the front 9 hooked up with another twosome from Illinois. The pace wasn't as fast as prior visits, but hooking up with the others allowed for more consistent play. The views on this course are picturesque. It is a challenging course which requires a lot of strategic play. Lots of interesting stuff blocking clear shots so you have to be smart in how you play. Strongly recommend this course!!!
