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.

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.

Course was great, the pace of play horrible

The course and staff were great, but playing in the afternoon was not good. The pace of play was so bad that the group behind us and we left after 14 holes.

Excellent condition

Pocono Manor was in excellent condition. Hadn't played there since the late 1960's. The greens are small and there wasn't a front, middle, back designation on the pins. Only three sand traps on the entire course. Golf Now rates are definitely the way to book your tee time.

Worth a second look

Course is in really good shape, and much improved from 3 years ago (last time I played the course). Interesting par 3 holes! Tee boxes and greens in excellent condition. Very competitive course layout, playable for beginners and intermediate (me) players.

Nice Course

We had a morning tee time, and already the greens had taken a lot of abuse. The course gets a lot of resort novice golfers, who "do not" fix ballmarks which make putting a challenge. Almost every cup had the rims damaged from people not paying attention when removing and replacing the flags. I commend the staff for maintaining the course in the shape they do under the circumstances.

This is a good coarse, well maintained just enough of a challenge to make you come back.

Pace of play can sometimes get backed up, so you need to be patient

Great old style course. Perfect for resort area.

Played course with wife and daughter. I am a 15 handicap and they are working on their game. Pace was great and we did not feel rushed. The course is a great layout with various lie opportunities. Perfect course for medium and beginner players.

POcona Manor

We were impressed with the improvements of course condition, since the last time we played it 4 years ago.

The fairways were in excellent shape, the greens were a bit slow but understandable given the recent air rating. I was told that they had a new greenskeeper which showed immediately. We'll definitely go back and play it again.

Poor Course Condition / Rowdy Players

Have played Pocono Manor many times; first time I'm providing a review, due to poor conditions of fairways and greens - no excuse, given all the rain this Spring.

Secondly, despite rangers passing by them the two groups ahead of our foursome (a two-some and a three-some), Nothing done, even though they joined up to make a five-some. They were not only rowdy, but incredibly slow. Indeed they were leaving beer cans on the course. How a ranger passes this five-some up without taking action is unconscionable.

Pace too slow

The round lasted too long, actually played a fivesome and the course was still backed up by an outing. The golfers were using one bag.

Great Value

After being away from the Pocono's for 15 years we bought another house and are back. I had always enjoyed playing at Pocono Manor with my son and friends and still do. I was sorry to see the west course is no longer there though. The weather was far from perfect with a light drizzle and fog but the course was in excellent condition. Unfortunately we had to stop after the 10th hole because the fog got so thick we couldn't see more then 50 yards. We will definitely be back when the weather improves.
