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.

Great conditions but painfully slow pace

I’ve come here a couple of times. You would think that with three 9 hole courses, there would be better management for tee times and faster play but it’s not. They overbook the tee times and have no course management of pace of play. Beautiful course but just wish there was a better structure for pace of play. Round of 18 took 5 and a half hours as a reference. And that’s with using a cart

BRT delivers

Anyone who lives within 30 minutes of BRT should play this course once a week. I drive ~1.5 hours to play here, and gladly do so. Its a treat to golf this track, though in the 4xs I've done so, I haven't been able to play the Trail course. The Pro shop said they got 0.7" of rain the night before my round. The course drains beautifully. A little squishy in places, but acceptable. No faking it with ball striking. If you didn't make ball contact first, you got immediate feedback. The staff is friendly and accommodating. An overall enjoyable experience.

Course drains well

I thought the place would be a swamp after the rain we had the day before but it drained well. Cart path only always sucks but we expected it.

Grees recently punched and topdressed Ridge was a little bumpy but Trail was a little more puttable. If we don't get hammered with anymore rain, the course should be perfect if a few days.

Nice Course.

Course is great. They were aerating a few fairways and only reason for not getting a 5 star in that category.

Fantastic Course but terrible pace of play

I religiously play golf at this beautiful course, but there always seems to be only one problem…. The pace of play. I never understood why people who have never played the game of golf before come to this course. Either that or this course just seems to take in as much money as possible. I can finish a slow round of golf in about 3 hours, and that is with my awful swing. If I can do it, so can you. I’ve never quit in the middle of a round until this year, and I have done so twice already, because I wanted to save the headache and not wait another 4 hours to finish my remaining two holes of golf. Don’t let me fool you. It’s a fantastic course, but something needs to be done about the pace.
