About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6964 yards
Slope 146
Rating 74.3

There are 27 holes of championship golf available at Blue Ridge Trail Golf Club. They are divided into three nines, naturally named Blue, Ridge and Trail, that are played in different 18-hole combinations. The holes have an advantageous setting amidst mountains and trees, offering both privacy and scenery. The setting is made even more peacefully secluded by the fact that there are no parallel fairways throughout the entire golf course. The holes were carefully carved from the forests and hillsides, providing each nine with a different character. With four water holes, the Ridge/Trail combination has the most water of any of the courses. There are also strategically placed bunkers throughout but the towering, mature trees present the most formidable challenges. The course starts off rather gently with the player-friendly Ridge, but becomes progressively more difficult on the back nine.

Way over booked

I found this course 3 yrs ago. I have played 30 plus times since then. I have never played with this course so slow or over booked as this day. We got to the 4th tee 1 hr and 5 min after we started. At that pace we would have been over 6hrs.we returned to the club house to try to get a better time, we were told take it or leave it. After how mean the pro shop was and pushy the starter was, we left after playing 3 holes.it will be awhile till we return to one of our favorite courses

Awesome place to play golf!

Played the course Sunday 10/13/13. The greens were superb and the course was in terrific condition. Tony in the Pro shop is always warm and friendly as is all other staff. I know I can always count on Blue Ridge Trail for superb conditions and an all-around great golfing experience.

A nice ride through the woods.

I've played here a couple times. 27 hole layout is always in good shape. May be a little pricey for some but you do get what you pay for here. Greens can be challenging and the visual deceptive. Trust the GPS in the cart. My playing partner had a wrist GSP that left me short of the green and in a trap more than once. Staff is very friendly. Pace of play can be more than 4 1/2 hours but not because of overplay. It just can be very challenging and the greens hard for the less than accomplished player. So figure 5 hours and try to keep up with the group in front of you. I will play it again if I get a chance.

Greens are fast. Course drains well after major rain.

Would have been nice to know that the whole maintenance crew was going to be all over the course all day long. Extremely distracting. Aerating, leaf blowing, raking and they were spread all over the place. They also seemed to be working from 1-9 on each course instead of 9-1. Every time we passed them, they came right up behind us on the next hole. Course was in great shape though.

This course is very well manicured....

Excellent course.... Set at the edge of the poconos this course offered great elevation changes as well as a challenge for all skill levels. Staff was very accommodating and extremely helpful. Made our round that much better. Great course for fall golf in Pennsylvania!

one of NEPA's best values

$ for $ it is hard to beat this course. It is always in the best shape possible for the weather conditions at the time, and it has the best variety of par 4's that I have ever played anywhere, period. The par 5s and par 3s are nowhere near the same level in terms of shot value and aesthetics, imho, but they are decent and they have the same level of superb conditioning.

This course features 3 different 9 hole layouts, and you don't know which 2 you are going to play until you get there. Most holes are tight and treelined, and the wise golfer will end up hitting less than driver on a fair number of holes. This ensures that you will use just about every club in your bag, which is one of my barometers for a quality course. But just when you are feeling claustrophobic, you pull up to a tee with a wide open landing area that begs for the "big dog".

The staff is top notch. The grounds crew seems to be forever out there primping and preening, but they are very professional and move quickly aside so as not to interfere with play. The bar and grill has fast friendly;y service with a good selection of brews and grub.

I live an hour away from this course, and my only beef is that they built it so far away from my house. Oh yeah, and I wish they had some more big par 5s for us bombers!

Great layout with country club conditions

The course is just a great course with elevation changes and conditions. Several tee boxes to play from so golfers of many skills can enjoy this layout. The course has GPS on the carts and is one on the great values to play in the Poconos.

Beautiful course to play.

The course is always in great shape, but yesterday when we played, we started on the Trailset of holes, and I probably wouldn't have played knowing that they had just airrated the greens on this set of holes. Other set 9 we played were the Blue holes and they were wonderful

Great layout and thank God for the GPS right on the cart.

I played this course before and now it is in better shape the ever. The GPS is so important ,I feel because of the tee shots distants and set-up for the rest of the hole. Then you can manage the course well. Lower scores!!

Great value

I drove up to PA from DC for a wedding and play a round here. I was expecting a very easy and plain course but was treated to a beautifully maintained course. Great price compared to what I'm used to seeing. Well worth it.

Best bang for the buck in PA??

I'll list the negatives first since they are few and far between and seem borderline knit-picky. I played the Blue and Ridge nines during my first visit to this course. First, I would have liked to see one more set of tees to play from. The jump from 6100 (whites# to over 6600 #blues) is a little gappy and leaves room for another set to choose from inbetween. From the whites, I don't believe I played a par 5 over 490 yards, which makes the par 72 a tad misleading. The only other negative I could think of is playing the Blue 9 followed by the Ridge 9 does not take you near the clubhouse/halfway house at the turn. Coupled that with the fact that we didnt see a drink cart all day, I was more than ready for refreshments than one should be after a round.

All that being said, I paid 28.00 through the golfnow app and can honestly say that dollar for dollar this is far and away the most fun golf experience I have had. Each hole has its own character. There are a lot of tough holes but none that seem 'tricked-up' just a lot of really good golf holes on generally great fairways and good greens. We played on a Monday morning and got around in 3:50 no problem. I will definitely plan on making this trip every summer and will recommend it to all my buddies!

The course is well maintained from tee to green.

The tees and fairways are well cared for, the greens are reasonably quick. The sand traps are well raked. The ownership pays attention to ensure a great golfing experience.
