Jack Frost National Golf Course

I typically play here on my way to or my way back from fishing trips to NY. I also play early or late in the golf season when you wouldn't expect much. The course has always been fantastic. Fairways that are good sized and you typically have a target bunker or tree to aim at. The greens are usually fast, smooth and pretty difficult if you hit it on the wrong section. Many courses have tiers that are front and back. This course has some of that but it also has several greens with side to side tiers. Good mix of short holes and longer holes. Great views. I've sent several guys here and they've all come back impressed. If you get the opportunity to play it when in the area......you won't be sorry you did. Has to be one of the 10 best public courses in the state.

Very disappointed was not told that we had a back up that was very annoying to talk us hour and 15 minutes to play three holes very disappointed we walked off the course because They had no staff to do anything

Jack Frost is likely the best course in the Poconos (although I have not made it to Woodloch Springs, quite far from mainstream Poconos). Fairways are wide, and the course is as long as you need. You can play from 6200-7200 yards, and it is very hilly. The starter let me walk/carry, despite his concerns about my ability to do so (I am 51), and I appreciated that. Fitbit said it was a 9.5 mile walk, so if you would like to walk take that into consideration. Conditions were fantastic, and as others have said the greens are tough to read due to the course being on the side of the mountain. It is a shame that the clubhouse is not much more than a trailer. Can't quite call it a "bucket list" course, but it is on a tier just below that.

Agree with comments about how nice are the course conditions. Tee to green, practice facility, staff. It was packed to the max but still got around in 4:30. The wife skipped a hole now and then which helped.

Keep in mind with this being a mountain course there are some breaks you won't see while putting. I didn't ask the pro about breaking putts but should have. Watching the ball break rolling UP and incline was bizarre but to be expected.

greens were excellent pace of play was good 4hours and 20 minutes. great staff and good playing partners. a most enjoyable day will be back.

Amazing conditions and a friendly staff. Great views and a very fair course. Great round. Ran into a scramble though and really hindered our pace of play.

This course is only eight years old and does not have permanent clubhouse facilities as yet but the temporary ones are quite adequate.
This is a long hilly course making a power cart essential.
The practice area, tees, fairways an greens are all well maintained.
Fairways are wide but bunkers will punish misplaced shots. They are cut short leading to lots of roll, which is not always a good thing.
Greens are large, fast and have moderate bunker protection. There is plenty of slope and roll but it is even and fair. Accurate approach shots are important to keep the ball on the green.
We did not use the restaurant so cannot comment on it.
There are five sets of tees, well spread out, making it easier for shorter hitters.
A beautiful setting for a very well designed and maintained course making for an enjoyable experience.

This course is by far the best I've played yet. It's a beautiful course, great greens, magnificent fairways, excellent views. I'll definitely be coming back again and again to this course.

Great course in great shape. Excellent practice facilities. Small but nice clubhouse with a very friendly staff. Booked an online Ttime so got an awesome deal. My only complaint/gripe would be pace of play but I was in a twosome playing behind two groups of 4. Overall it's a Must play but very tough course which I throughly enjoyed. I will definitely be back.

My only gripe is that I don't live closer! Absolutely gorgeous course in excellent condition. Easily one of the best courses in the area and you can get on for cheap using online tee time discounters. Definitely not for high handicappers, there are some pretty open fairways but most of the course is lined with dense forest. Clubhouse seems a little lacking for how nice the course is, but that's a very minor flaw in my opinion. Although I didn't make use of it, the practice facility looks very nice as well.

Beautiful mountain course, challenging but not unfair. One of the best courses in NE PA. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to play it again.

They were aerating the greens the time we played and they never told us when we booked our round greens were in terrible shape should've got more of a discount very disappointed I heard a lot of good things about Jackfrost national

I have played this course many times.The layout is challenging. The greens are fast and the scenery is fabulous.
The only negative I have from this round is that the greens were punched the previous day. Golf Now should have made that clear when making the reservation.

Course was in excellent shape, greens were fast but true, pace was great finished in about 4 hours, great views around the course, highly recommended.

Challenging course. Tough greens. Would not recommend for beginners.

This course is always great. Conditions excellent greens were true and quick.

We play this course every time we come to visit family in PA--it's our favorite!

Course was in great shape nice wide fairways greens were great got there 30 minutes early and they let us go right out 4 hour round very little wait can't wait to go back

Great Golf course in wonderful condition. Very challenging and it can play long fron the black and championship tees. Wonderful mountain course with great variety and spansive greens. Numerous pin position opportunities to play again and again.
Not crowded during mid week and you can play in well under 4 hours. Great getaway course. We travelled 90 minutes from Philadelphia to beat the heat and humidity. 10 degrees cooler and far less humidity!
Negative concern was reception from local players and members who consider this their own golf course and have no respect for guests.. We were a twosome and expected to wait for groups ahead. We caught the groups ahead of us on the third hole who had consolidated to a sixem. A caravan of carts! They did not offer nor would not allow us to play through. We slowly followed their play from 3 thru 8 until they split up to avoid detection from the proshop on the ninth hole. We watched as they replayed shots and practiced repeat putts. We waited on every tee and in every fairway.
Thank you to them for leaving after 9! No marshalling on-course for observation for pace of play. We played the front in over 2 hrs and 30 minutes and the back in less than 1 hr and 30. minutes.
Will would certainly play again but would not hestitate to contact the proshop if confronted with a similar situation. They need to police pace of play not just talk about it!

One of the top five courses in the northeast. Great shape from tees to greens.
