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.

Beautiful Property

This course is great..:elevation changes, tee boxes with natural landscape in views, challenging, fast greens. It has everything. The timing of nice weather in early October presents fall foliage views that are difficult to match on a golf course. Pace of play was a little slow for a weekday,

Worth the money

I always enjoy playing this course. The layout is great. The conditions were very good for this late in the year. It’s always kind of confusing what course I’m playing from one to the other. The only complaint I ever have is slow play and there’s never any ranger to keep people going at a decent pace.

Nice challenging layout

We had a great fall golf day. Conditions were very good. The front 9 played at a good pace. The back 9 very slow. Not a lot of water but high grass hazards everywhere. This makes for an interesting experience.

Reframes mountain courses

When I hear mountain courses, I think of thin fairways that lean and your ball will roll to the low side wherever you hit it. However this course reframed me to believe there is hope for mountain courses. This course is well maintained with ample space to make shots. Sand bunkers that play like sand. Challenging layout and you need to use every club in your bag. Staff and amenities are superior to most. Greens, fairways and tee boxes were all in very good condition. A great value for the price, you will not leave disappointed.

Staff Was Terrible

The course was okay - the greens were good but the fairway was very chopped up. The staff was overwhelmingly cranky and was snippy about the most trivial issues from the start; they clearly hate their jobs. The course was not worth dealing with the disrespectful crew.

The food was actually really good.

Not for beginners

Fairway is a mile wide but if you tend to slice like me and it goes into another. Goodluck finding your ball.

Great course, terrible pace of play

I really enjoyed the course, in great condition, layout and everything else but the pace of play was brutal. We waited in virtually every home unfortunately.
