Pocono Manor Resort & Spa

the course is going through major repairs. i was told because of the heavy water damage from this year's weather. they are leveraging their east and west courses to make 18 holes. a bit confusing and tracking one's score.

course was okay but several holes were closed due to weather conditions and they looked like some of the fun ones, would try again but there are better courses for the money

some greens are bad..course is spread out due to constuction but for the price we paid it's worth going.

Course was lovely but club rental was pricey. Staff was helpful.

Several greens are under repair but it didn't detract too bad from the overall experience. The east course has lots of character and with some improvements would be a great place to play. Some holes need some modifications to be really fair for first time players. There are several that can give you a big score even if you feel you hit a good shot. Cart paths are in bad shape. But those greens that were not under repair played well.

Several months ago the golf course lost 4 greens due to excessive dampness followed by a heat wave.Pocono Manor spent thousands of dollars on a drainage project and a special deep tyne aerification to remedy this problem.The greens are responding very good and are close to being all the way back.The golf course recently started a composite course so guests did not have to play the 4 greens in question.This plan has worked well and will be in play the remainder of the year starting Friday.The property realized there was an issue and has done everything possible to ensure the 4 greens will be in great shape for 2014.The rest of the course is in very good shape and utilizing the composite course has given guests a good experience.

some greens were under repair(new watering system installed)
should be better next year.i will be back. the fairways were well maintained.

Really enjoyed this course. Long holes but forgiving for the intermediate player. Ladies tees did not provide much relief for my wife. Some really cool green locations.

The west course is great for beginning golfers and high handicap players. A great mix of long and short holes. Good rolling fairways, well kept and nice greens. I will definitely be playing here again.

course is in rough shape 5 greens arent even playable needs more maintance. the group of 2 ahead of us very slow play hitting 2 balls each had to wait on 6 holes about 10 minutes to tee off.Most likely wont be back to play the other course or to play there again theres alot of nicer courses for the money or even cheaper

The course is in terrible shape. There is an alternate hole used to replace the 5th hole, which is under repair. The trouble is that the last time I played this course -- over two years ago -- the situation was the same. At least five other greens are unplayable -- one is just the fairway cut short. If there such a thing as golf police, the owners would be in jail.

some of it needs a little work but overall a very good experience. However for the women there are no bathroom facilities so plan on holding your water for at least 4 hours

The greens are in poor shape, the fairways are weeds. Even at 30$ on a Saturday morning it's not worth it. They booked to many groups, it was the longest round of golf I ever have played.

wide fairways for those who have a curve to their swing, mostly flat.

Played the west course they deterred us from playing the east because of problems with the greens. They also had two of the holes closed due to problems. Greens on the west course were very hard almost impossible to hold a green shot.

Probably great back in the day. Course needs to take a year off and get it back to how it was designed to be.

You'll get a great bounce and roll on a good drive. In fact I hit a 290 yard drive. I'm usually ~260. Unfortunately you'll get similar action on the green and with these tiny greens it's hard to stick GIR. The grass around the greens is spotty, not well maintained. I'm just happy that this was one of the hot deal from Golf Now and a full price one as it's not worth it.

My wife and I stayed at the Inn at Pocono Manor for our 20th anniversary. We brought our clubs and played a different course in the area every day. We played the west course the first day and it is quite possibly the worst conditioned course I have ever played in my life. The tee blocks on some holes were atrocious. Some of the greens had a number of bad patches which would make it impossible to putt along the line you picked. Many of the fairways consisted of crabgrass and clover patches. Even the design of the west course was sub-par. Every green looked the same - small, sloped from back to front, and mounds on each side to repel an errant approach. No bunkers on the west course. The condition was so bad that it really did make me think that they are planning on selling off that land after this season as someone else suggested.

We played the east course two days later (it really couldn't get any worse# and it was in much better condition than the west course, with the exception that a few of the holes have greens that are being repaired and are not really playable, but they haven't created a temporary green for all of them. One hole was completely out of play and they had inserted a par 3 in its place ##2#. Lots of elevation changes on the east make it really interesting. Only a couple of blind shots so it's not too frustrating. Beware that regular hole #3 #across the road, the par 3) is a bowl green at the bottom of a hill - you can't tell that from the tee but just have a guide flag to aim for. Better to take one club less there than to go long.

Ultimately the east course is worth playing if you can get a decent deal, but I wouldn't waste my time on the west.

West course has no bunkers or water hazards.Playsed hard and fast. If you miss greens left or right you have "short sided" yourself.

Booked a tee time for the East Course—a Donald Ross design I've played before and enjoyed. Upon arrival, and after meeting a friend who drove two hours, I was informed no less than four greens were unplayable on the East and another hole was closed. "But you can play the West Course if you'd like." And so began the misery of my morning.

The West Course is not the East Course—each green resembling a small turtle's back and enough (unmarked) ground under repair to have you question if they employ a greenskeeper. Much of the course is fair, in proper condition, but proper condition we did not find. Any margin of error resulted in a variety of different headaches—certainly not something you'd expect from, said the card, a '114 slope'.

Should you book a time on the East, call ahead and confirm that you're receiving the product you expect to pay for. I did not, and won't be returning as a result.
