fun course

some of it needs a little work but overall a very good experience. However for the women there are no bathroom facilities so plan on holding your water for at least 4 hours

Needs overhaul of entire facility.

The greens are in poor shape, the fairways are weeds. Even at 30$ on a Saturday morning it's not worth it. They booked to many groups, it was the longest round of golf I ever have played.

Rough course outing.

Played the west course they deterred us from playing the east because of problems with the greens. They also had two of the holes closed due to problems. Greens on the west course were very hard almost impossible to hold a green shot.

Beat up course should close until repaired greens

Probably great back in the day. Course needs to take a year off and get it back to how it was designed to be.

Hard fairways and greens

You'll get a great bounce and roll on a good drive. In fact I hit a 290 yard drive. I'm usually ~260. Unfortunately you'll get similar action on the green and with these tiny greens it's hard to stick GIR. The grass around the greens is spotty, not well maintained. I'm just happy that this was one of the hot deal from Golf Now and a full price one as it's not worth it.

Play only the East course if you are only playing one here

My wife and I stayed at the Inn at Pocono Manor for our 20th anniversary. We brought our clubs and played a different course in the area every day. We played the west course the first day and it is quite possibly the worst conditioned course I have ever played in my life. The tee blocks on some holes were atrocious. Some of the greens had a number of bad patches which would make it impossible to putt along the line you picked. Many of the fairways consisted of crabgrass and clover patches. Even the design of the west course was sub-par. Every green looked the same - small, sloped from back to front, and mounds on each side to repel an errant approach. No bunkers on the west course. The condition was so bad that it really did make me think that they are planning on selling off that land after this season as someone else suggested.

We played the east course two days later (it really couldn't get any worse# and it was in much better condition than the west course, with the exception that a few of the holes have greens that are being repaired and are not really playable, but they haven't created a temporary green for all of them. One hole was completely out of play and they had inserted a par 3 in its place ##2#. Lots of elevation changes on the east make it really interesting. Only a couple of blind shots so it's not too frustrating. Beware that regular hole #3 #across the road, the par 3) is a bowl green at the bottom of a hill - you can't tell that from the tee but just have a guide flag to aim for. Better to take one club less there than to go long.

Ultimately the east course is worth playing if you can get a decent deal, but I wouldn't waste my time on the west.

west course greens small difficult to hit

West course has no bunkers or water hazards.Playsed hard and fast. If you miss greens left or right you have "short sided" yourself.

A (Sad) Tale of Two 18s

Booked a tee time for the East Course—a Donald Ross design I've played before and enjoyed. Upon arrival, and after meeting a friend who drove two hours, I was informed no less than four greens were unplayable on the East and another hole was closed. "But you can play the West Course if you'd like." And so began the misery of my morning.

The West Course is not the East Course—each green resembling a small turtle's back and enough (unmarked) ground under repair to have you question if they employ a greenskeeper. Much of the course is fair, in proper condition, but proper condition we did not find. Any margin of error resulted in a variety of different headaches—certainly not something you'd expect from, said the card, a '114 slope'.

Should you book a time on the East, call ahead and confirm that you're receiving the product you expect to pay for. I did not, and won't be returning as a result.

Course has some fun holes, with totally blind shots to greens

The course fairways are in great shape. A few of the greens were under repair, and one holes was entirely closed. They opened a par 3 temporary hole to replace the closed hole.

Few hazards make for a nice casual round.

West course is a relatively wide course and hazard free. Greens have some dead spots, fairways vary from good to fair. For $25 its a great easy round.

The course was in poor condition.

Requires using ALL your clubs

The West course is 6700 yards long from the white tees with a few par 4's well over 400 yards so depending on your drive length, you could be hitting anything from a 3-iron to a PW into a small green. It rained the night before we played so it played even longer making it a real challenge but it was fun to play and not overly crowded. I'll be playing this course again soon.

Fun time

Had a great time. Course was very challenging, fairway grass bunkers made first shot interesting. Fairways and greens were kept in good condition, some greens had bare spots, We will be back.

50% of greens dried out and need work

Great value. Paid only $10 for 18 holes, but now I know why. At least 50% of the greens are dried out and need work. How hard is it to keep the greens watered and take care of them? The rest of the course was not dried out so why should the greens be that way? The course could be a decent course for the Poconos with some attention.

I had a great opportunity for playing golf in free. This course is good condition, but there was not the information of each hole.

Avoid at all costs

Just returned home after a trip to the poconos where we played a round a pocono manor east. I don't have anything positive to say and I'm not sure what the other reviewers are talking about but this course is an absolute joke. The conditions of the fairways and greens make it completely unplayable. I'm not exaggerating when I say that there wasn't grass on the greens. There wasn't even dirt on a few. The greens were a flat surface of hardened mud with a cup sticking out. An absolute disgrace that they charge people money to play here and I was embarassed that I even booked the round. It's a shame because the course probably was nice 20 years ago but I'm not lying when I tell you that they couldn't pay me to come back. How do you putt over a sandlot?!? Hands down the worst course I've ever seen. Sorry pocono manor, but it seems as if you won't be in operation much longer.
