About

Type Public
Par 72
Length 6965 yards
Slope 144
Rating 74.5

Blue Ridge Trail Golf Club boasts 27 holes of championship golf that are played in three 18-hole combinations. The three different nines are natural named Blue, Ridge, and Trail. Tucked away in the hills of northeastern Pennsylvania, the golf courses provide stunning scenery and views. All of the holes were carefully carved from the surrounding woodlands and molded into the hillsides. An abundance of trees characterizes the course, giving all of the holes a secluded feel that is further enhanced by the design, which doesn't feature any parallel fairways. The Trail/Blue Course combines the shortest and longest nines but both are considered slightly more challenging than the Ridge nine. The Trail nine possesses two of the four water holes at the club. There is a combination for every skill level and four sets of tees make the nines even more accommodating.

Excellent course

Hands down one the most challenging courses in the area! You must place your tee shots well, and don't miss hit your approach shots, or you will regret it. From the ponds along the fairways to the dangerous bunkers lining the fairways, your score can easily be punished. The electric carts with built in GPS make the whooping a bit more bearable.

Doesnt live up to the hype

I had heard from several people who had played this coarse over the years said how prestine it was and that the coarse was immaculate. That is not what I found it was slammed on a Thursday afternoon and the fairways tee boxes and some greens where beat up. The front 9 of the coarse was descent but the back was rough. Really expected better. Pace of play was horrible constantly waiting for people ahead of you while others are hitting up on you.

Tough fun course

Blue ridge is a fun challenging course. All three nine hole courses are challenging at any skill level but a lot of fun to play. The course was in excellent shape as it always is.

7:30 tee time 5 hour round

Played last week and teed off at noon. Took 5 hours. Understandable since it was a weekend afternoon. Got a tee time for 7:30 on a Saturday morning. Took 5 hours again. Waited at every tee box with the 4 some in front of us. Never once saw a ranger. Really disappointed.

Great course - Rate pf play is atrocious

I love this course but I don’t think I will ever come here on a weekend again. They send way to many groups out and it becomes impossible to finish 18 under 5 hours. It’s to the point where it really doesn’t make sense to pay the increased weekend charge because it takes so unbelievably long to play. I was talking to some guys I was paired with today and they said they never finish 18 holes because they can’t take waiting so long. Unfortunately I’ll have to only come here after work on weekdays for 9, which still isn’t very quick. Not sure if it was always like this pre COVID quarantine.

Course is in great shape, but only come here if you have a lot of time to burn!

Good day of Golf

Course was in good condition. Pace of play was great. Played the Trail and Blue Courses. Courses played long because of the wind.

Surprised to see a beer / snack cart was in use.

Will play here again this year.
