About

Holes 18
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.

Great track to enjoy golf.

Blue/Ridge is my favorite 18 here. Course is in great shape at this time. Every time we are up in the area my husband always wants to play this course.

It has the quality of a Championship course similar to some of USGA venue I played before. A truly hidden gem.

It is challenging enough and you do get rewarded when you stick it. Do not come up short, those greenside bunkers are everywhere. No big deal, just take a full swing about 2 inches behind the ball and you will hit it close under that flag...

In the summer these greens, are pretty close to a true roll. I just love playing this course.

Thanks to all the people that maintain this course. Hope to play more this year...

Great walk in the woods

Walked the blue course and had a wonderful time. Course was in great shape in the late fall and I loved the layout through the woods and up and down the mountain.

Great track

Played here a couple of times in different seasons and I must say, the three (3) courses are maintained very well. My husband enjoyed these courses as well and was very pleased of the pace of play. Finished 18 holes in 3.5 hours.

Very nice layout and a nice course to play and enjoy golf as it should be. Sand bunkers are easy to get out of just a pleasant course to enjoy a round.

If you want a relaxing round, come play here. It is worth the trip.

Thumbs up

Went here based on reviews of local public courses - in Hazleton from out of town and was looking to sneak in a quick 18.

Walked up without a tee time as a single at 8am and the crew got me right out. Played the blue and trail courses.

Everything is lined with trees- a lot of elevation changes, very fun course to play. The greens and tee boxes were in fantastic shape.

Really great value - I’ll definitely be back on future trips

Course in terrific shape. Only complaint is we were behind a fivesome starting at the turn, Management unconcerned. when reported to starter. Skipped the hole bypassing the group. Played 17 holes. They significantly slowed the round for players behind them. We finished at least two holes ahead of the problem. Imagine course will start to thin out but be forewarned. Or is that fivewarned?

Great course

Our first time playing Blue Ridge and we will definitely be back. Challenging course, but the GPS units in the cart were a great help, being able to touch a point and know how far to hit. We were a 3some, but got paired up with a 4th who had played there before which was also helpful. Very scenic and well kept.
