Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6665 yards
Slope 128
Rating 71.8

There are three nines at Shawnee Inn & Golf Resort: the Red, the White, and the Blue. For practice, there is also a nine-hole par-3 course. 24 of the 27 championship holes share a unique location on an island in the middle of the Delaware River. Long ago, the odd little island was formed when one of the last glaciers melted. The holes are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The White/Blue Course features well manicured fairways and gently undulating greens. There are strategically placed bunkers along the greensides as well as thick patches of rough. On almost every hole, golfers can enjoy stunning views of the nearby Poconos Mountains. The beautiful setting and interesting design of all the golf courses have made Shawnee one of the Pennsylvania's finest destinations.

Nice course

You are technically playing on a small island in the Delaware River. They rebuilt the bridge and renovating some holes.

Overall still a great place to play.

Deceptively Challenging

I played the Red and Blue courses. The fairways are wide open, but the rough is extremely thick. I wasn't the only golfer losing balls in the thick grass, resulting in a slow pace on the Blue course. The greens are undulating and in great shape. I played far from my best round, but the people were all friendly. Overall, a nice time.

Staff kudos

We arrived early for our tee time and the starter got us out right away. Later the player assistant assured us that we could finish even though it was getting dark.

Enjoyable course, some changes due to bridge construction

Enjoyed Shawnee — staff was excellent, in particular, John, who was setting us up on carts and giving directions. He was incredibly friendly and thorough.

The course was in good condition on the fairway and greens. I played at twilight so the rate was a great value, but not sure I’d feel the same if I pid to play at peak times. Played the white and red nine hole sections, which had a couple holes with greens and tee boxes rearranged due to bridge construction. Overall, it was enjoyable and fun, and despite a lot of golfers on the course, pace was great — played 18 in 3 hours.

Nice course

Pleasantly happy with the course. Conditions were good despite the rain from the previous night. They are building a new bridge and modified two holes temporarily while they are building the bridge.

Nice brewery on site. Highly recommend, stop at the brewery on your way out, they also have food.
