Rating 69.0

The Inn at Pocono Manor offers two championship golf courses, conveniently located less than two hours from New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia. Surrounded by the beauty of the Poconos, the inn has earned a spot on the National Registry of Historic Places. George Fazio designed the West Course, and the East Course was Donald Ross' creation. The East Course, the original layout, has hosted a number of legendary players, including Arnold Palmer and Sam Snead, since 1912. Ross carefully sculpted the mountainous landscape to create a course that is both challenging and memorable. It is shorter and tighter than the other course but they are equal in level of difficulty. The golf course is defined by the interesting water hazards that come into play on several holes, but the scenic views are also a draw.

Over 5 hours to play

The starter paired us (2 some)with another.. so there was 4 of us. Had to wait 3-5 minutes and more on some holes. Never ever saw a ranger to speed things up! Over 5 hours to golf 18! Unbelievable.

Cart paths are a mess tons of large pot holes. 2-3 green were pitted and bumpy.

Several ladies/ senior tee box were in terrible shape and on at least 3-4 holes there was NO tee box for the ladies!!

First time and we will be back!

Booked this round to play with my 7 year old son and we had a blast! The Course was beautiful, the staff couldn't have been friendlier, and even the groups before and after us were extremely friendly.

Average at Best

Not well maintained, lots of kind tee shots that for first timers difficult to know where you should hit. Pace of play was fine as it was 100 degrees and not many people on the course. Good for a warmup first day of vacation.

SUPER SLOW

They book every 8 minutes here. Stay away unless you got 6 hours to play a round. Absolutely the worst.

Nice layout

First time playing. Starter was very helpful and course offers printed advice for each hole. Couple greens were patchy but overall course was in nice shape. Will definitely be playing again.

Gone to seed

Cart paths that loosen your fillings.

Greens cut ridiculously short to keep several types of grass (weeds) uniform resulting in any downhill slope guaranteed to roll off the green. We gave up on scoring. Occasional 3 foot wide holes on tees and greens. We had enough after 14 holes and left. Lovely portapoties too. Yuk! This place has sadly gone to seed.

But the people working there were great.

That’s not enough though. Never again.

Great Value

For the price, we really enjoyed it. I would definitely come back.

The greens definitely were not in great shape, but it is nearing the end of the season, so I will give a pass on that. There was a couple of holes where the pin was on a sloped hill with no level ground around it, so your putting skills need to be pretty good! They were pretty fast greens so the ball really ran on you. Hard to get a touch to get it close to the hole as often the ball just ran downhill.

Leaves had been coming down already, and they didn't an excellent job with making sure they were off the course. We played on a weekday as a two-some and never had to wait for anyone in front of us. We played 18 holes in under 4 hours, and there were a few times were we just sat at the tee box and enjoyed a beverage from the cart girl. We probably could have finished in 3 if we just kept playing.
