Course Highlights
Pocono Manor's hilly, historic layout rewards shot-makers with challenging mounds, tiny fast greens, and a famously tricky front nine. Friendly staff and strong value for money make this course a consistently worthwhile booking.

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.

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.

First Time Playing

I think it is a shame when four older gentlemen in three carts with at least two open holes in front of them refused to let a twosome play through. We were on the white tee on number ten when one of the gentleman was on the red tee, teeing off. He was aware of us behind him. On the eleventh tee, I did roll my drive into them. On the twelfth hole the snack cart came by close to the green and they proceeded to snack in their carts not motioning us through. We picked up our ball s and went around them. Therefore the poor rating

You needed to call the pro shop and tell them that there is a slow group ahead, then when coming up to tee box where they are teeing off or just hit, just pass them and say we are playing thru, leave the issue behind...

Fun course

This course has uphill and downhill lies. Narrow fairways. Your first time here you will loose a lot of balls. Played in September, no rain for over a month, the course was hard. I think playing in the beginning of the season is a much better option. Lots of trees but that is Pocono golf. Despite being a holiday the pace of play was very good. Check out Pocono Manor -you might be pleasantly be surprised.

Not welcoming to beginners

We had a group of 6 guys and wanted to play together with 2 back to back tee times. The staff was not accommodating and treated us like we were being disrespectful and would slow down the pace of play even though we purchased two tee times. They even threatened to kick us out if we combined our group out on the course. Ironically the group ahead of us was slow and we were forced to recombine our group anyway.

Aside from that, the course was not marked with proper signage on where you could take the golf carts, the cart path was extremely damaged, and most of the ball cleaners were broken. We also had issues with our golf carts towards the end of our round (they were struggling getting up the hills).

If this course were better managed, I think it would be a great place to play but I don’t think our group will return unfortunately.
