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.

Unfriendliness

The head of pro shop is not friendly and very rude. They apply their rules unfairly. You will ruin your vacation.

Great Donald Ross Course

Donald Ross did an excellent job on this course. Many of the greens have his signature style, where if you don't hit the correct shot to the correct part of the green, you won't be on the green. On blind tee shots, directional indicators and the hole by hole description sheet handed out by the starter help a player new to the course hit the right shots. Some funky but fun holes. Sorry that I didn't get a chance to play it again.

Beautiful Day of Golf

first time playing the course and it was a great time. 2 of us played the front 9 in an hour and then caught up to people on the back and slowed down but the course was in great shape and absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to go back again.

Great course

This was an excellent course and worth every penny. Great value. Only knock would be the cart paths need some TLC. Otherwise very scenic, plenty of character and super friendly staff. Will visit again if we’re fortunate enough.

Great course

Great track with some odd blind shots you won’t find at your average course. Looking forward to playing it again with some course knowledge. Must play if you’re in the area imo. Highly recommend

Roughl

Tees and greens are adequate but the rest of the course is very rough around the edges. Course needs senior tees that are playable. Some holes way too short and others stilll a bit long. Play the front of the whites better than where most are located. Plenty of blind shots so a disadvantage if not played here before.

Much Improved

This year because of liimited play this course conditions were much bettter than in the past. Greens are in tip top shape and on the fast side. Fairways were very good even thou do to hot weather a little dry in spots. Other than the odd Number 3 hole, its an excellent layout Very friendly staff. Worth the drive.

Perhaps the most unusual course I've ever played

So, this is an old Donald Ross design. Their are several blind shots, mostly on the front 9. We were able to take the carts up to see where we were headed so that was not a problem. Most curious of all was a blind par 3, yes, you heard that right. You hit your shot over a hill and the green is on the other side. Very quirky but both myself and my playing companion thoroughly enjoyed our round. The greens were exceptional, very true and fairly quick. Most were small. The overall conditions were terrific. I will be back, no doubt, and I highly recommend it, especially if you have any interest in the history of course design.

Possibilities

The course was fun. There are a few blind shots. You need to play it more than once to score well. Weather had a few holes a little burned on the greens a little. Not a bad track though. I will definitely play it again.
