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.

Great for inexpensive place to play.

The course is wide open and somewhat bland - no traps/hazards. Disappointing that there are no placards at the tee boxes with yardage and hole diagram, and skimpy on the ball washers. Overall though, the afternoon hot deal makes it a great opportunity to practice.

The course has an interesting layout but needs some attention.

We played on Sunday in just under four hours. Course design on the East is interesting but some of the cart paths are rough, some of the greens are in deep trouble, and some of the tee boxes were unkempt. It was wet and the greens held very well, the speed was average. Most of the lies I got were good and none had to be relieved for course condition (except on the green). We found the staff to be reasonably courteous and accommodating. It is thankfully cooler there but there were some mosquitoes so bring repellent. We enjoyed our experience and will be back.

Disgraceful to not enforce Pace of Play on this great and historic golf course.

5 hour round, not good and preventable. There were multiple and significant violations of, and lack of enforcement of, some fundamentals of the USGA Rules of Golf by golfers in front. Rule breaches included pace of play, safety and etiquette. This prompted a required phone call to the Pro Shop for assistance. The first call (hole 12) produced no effective results and we saw no Golf Ranger. The second call (hole 13) began with an unusual failure/refusal to understand what "...hole number thirteen on the West Course..." meant, as I was letting them know where our current location was on the course. Again, no effective results and we saw no Golf Ranger.

Fix this problem and this historic course would make for a great round of golf.

Time of Play was Too Long.

The fairways were nice but some of the Greens needed serious work. The Starter needed to get people moving. too may backups on the tees. Not the best course for Fast Play.

Good course that seemed well maintained. Greens were extremely slow. Somewhat long and very few sand traps which would have made it more interesting

This is a long course with very slow greens the day I played. Somewhat boring with little water and very few sand traps. Worth the great price on golfnow though.

Course needed maintenance in sevral area

I played on 06/01/2013 and Memorial weekend. 5 hours for memorial weekend and 4 1/2 hours this week. Course is great itself, but needed maintenance.
1. Needed starter and ranger to up keep flow.
2. Needed CLEANUP everywhere garbage dump specially afternoon in tee box.
3. Golf now check in allowed only 10 minutes before starting tee time even we wait one hour both times. needed time to prepare before tee time.
4. They close all buildings before end of player return to club, therefore no where to clean after golf(7:00PM - while sun is high up).
5. Ruff was so high and difficult to find a ball. also, green was so slow with so much fallen leaves.
6. Can not complained for Golfnow rate, but it can be better to improve staff, procedure and maintenance.

I think that still it is worth course(West) with Golfnow rate and recommendable for 7100 yard.

Decent course if you play for a discount

This course features extremely varied elevations - it would be impossible to walk. I paid $25 for a cart and 18 holes and believe that it was worth it. There aren't many hazards except for a few holes. I'd say that about 14 of the holes were in very good shape, the remaining 4 could use some work. The staff was friendly and the pace of place was not a problem. It is also located in a secluded, nice area of the Poconos.

Great value for a Holiday

I got a golf now deal for 25$ at 7:12am on Memorial Day. The course is in good shape, I have played there over 100 times and it is in almost the best shape I have ever seen in 12 years, except for hole #7. They have been working on that green for a few years and still can't seem to get it right. It used to be good 5-10 years ago. Good luck hitting that green anyway, I still haven't figured it out in 12 years. Fairways, Greens and Tee Boxes were in good shape. Cart paths need some maintenance. The driving range is great, the practice putting green is not so great. Pace of play starting around 7:15 was great (4 hours). I have started this course around 11am / noon and it can get pretty slow. One round here last summer took almost 6.5 hours on a Saturday.

All in all, you get a good experience, an above average golf course at a good value.

Hitting fairways here is a must, no short par 3 holes. very little water in play.

Fairways and Greens were in good condition but overall maintenance needs to be improved. Grass was tall and balls out of the fairway were sometimes difficult to find. Cart paths in need of replacement/improvement.

need rangers on course very slow play

there is potential here if staff catered to its needs,not enough bunkers if any that i saw,2or 3 at most.some greens to small to access a 180 to 200 yard second shot.mounds in fairways penalizes a good shot , replace with bunkers a must.cart path very dangerous if raining not enough protection on certain holes.railing or reroute would be alternative.overall cant complain for the price thanx golfnow........
