Skytop Lodge - Poconos Golf Course

The course was well-maintained, although it did show lots of play on the tee boxes and greens. We played this course in the Fall and it was pristine at that time. Good course for the mountains.

It was my first time playing this course and it was right after a heavy rain. The fairways drained pretty well but the some of the bunkers were ponds. Nice layout and great views, but the greens were awful. Not sure if there was a disease on them, but there were bare patches and they were bumpy. For the price it was good ($23/man) but would be extremely upset if had paid full price of $75! If they repair the greens and it was dry outside I would play again!!!

In the middle of nowhere but should not stop you from this road trip. Nice course set on the top of a ridge with great views. Greens were rolled but a bit dry and bumpy. $20 was a HOT DEAL for this course! Staff was very friendly too.

Save your money and go somewhere else. I politely asked for a refund after 9 holes and thankfully the pro was nice enough to grant me one. This COULD be an excellent course but unfortunately Skytop no longer has the resources to make it such. Five out of the nine greens on the front were, imo, unplayable. There's simply no excuse that when you're charging the general public $75 to play.

I honestly can't come up with one reason to play here. Especially since it's no longer 1970.

Nice course could be kept up a little better but the views and surroundings make up for that. Had fun!

From Tee Box to Green, the course has always been in exceptional condition. Fairly challenging course that is very fair (not narrow fairways). Facility is top notch. My wife and I finished in a little over 3 hours on a Friday afternoon.

The course was average, not in very good shape. People from hotel were constantly walking/biking across fairway interrupting play. The staff was average as well, some were decent while others were dismissive and rude. I wouldn't suggest this course, buck hills is very close by with better conditions and super friendly staff/golf pro.

Played a mid-pm round w my wife on a very hot day. It was surprisingly comfortable due to breeze and elevation. Some greens are a bit bumpy and rough but overall not bad. The rough,however, is a bit much. In some areas it was British Open like...waist deep. Even the 1st cut was high enough to hide your ball and slow down play. I like the layout...only a couple of "gimmicky" holes.

The course was in very good condition considering the recent weather conditions. Both my son and I enjoyed the experience immensely. Very playable course everything is in front of you...not tricked up

The beauty of both the Delaware Valley and the Skytop Resort make a round of golf at Skytop a great day, regardless of your game!
We were greeted warmly by all members of the staff including the Pro Shop, the starter and the beer cart girl! The course was fairly well maintained but some of the greens needed work. The pace slowed up towards the end and there didn't seem to be anyone maintaining the pace of play overall.
The restaurant does not open until 2 and while there is a deli it is small with no seating. Don't plan on lunch after your round unless you start late.
I would still go back but only with an offer price.

The course had some really great views and the pace of play was fast. I got a great deal on golfnow or I never would have played this course.

This was my second time playing this course. The course was in very good shape and I would recommend annyone in the pocono area. The fact that i was able to play at a reduced rate due to golfnow.com was an added bonus to the overall experience.

Go have a day! Get there early to warm up and putt. When lush ball does not roll as much as when dry and the sidehills will sweep your ball from the high side of the fairway to the lower side...allow for the terrain. Small greens, aim for the lowside or the middle. Granular sand traps. Usually a breeze blowing. Weather can change quickly around the mountains.

We played late afternoon on a weekday and the conditions were great. I only wish my game was as good. The fairways were pristine as were the greens, and the rough was penal. Some of the fairways slope in one direction or another, and that made holding the fairways tough. A good drive could easily wind up in the rough.

Either buy a lawn mower or host a US Open. The rough is ridiculous. Lost (and found) many golf balls in the rough just off the fairways. Ball sits down and you can't see it. Not for the "average" golfer. Takes the fun out of playing when you hit an almost perfect shot and then you can't find your ball.

dont get off fairway you will lose the ball rough a little to high for resort course.

Although the course was very wet and soft from recent rains,the fairways and greens were in very good condition. The rough was fairly long especially around the greens. It is a fun course to play. Take note it is on a high elevation so it could be windy at times.

Unfortunately, and obviously through no fault of the course management, there was an inordinate amount of rainfall for several days prior to the round I played. Factoring that in, the course played as well as could be expected.

the rough was extremely long. felt this course could have been better if rough was shortened. This was playing like rough I saw a sucon valley for the senior open a few years back!

This course had some amazing holes. Some were challenging and others you had to just step back and enjoy the view. I was very open for being in the mountains and I would play this course again. The workers were friendly and it was an enjoyable place to play.
