About Pocono Manor Resort & Spa
Life changed at Pocono Manor on Nov. 1, 2019, when a fire ripped through the historic inn, causing significant damage that's led to an ongoing closure. Although there are plans to renovate and rebuild, only the golf course is currently open. Currently, golfers looking to stay and play the historic course can book accommodations at nearby partner properties through the resort website. There is food available in the clubhouse.Facts

Course has some fun holes, with totally blind shots to greens
The course fairways are in great shape. A few of the greens were under repair, and one holes was entirely closed. They opened a par 3 temporary hole to replace the closed hole.
Few hazards make for a nice casual round.
West course is a relatively wide course and hazard free. Greens have some dead spots, fairways vary from good to fair. For $25 its a great easy round.
The course was in poor condition.
Heard from a local bartender that Pocono Mt. West was sold to a company who our building a water park on the course in Sept. of this year.
Requires using ALL your clubs
The West course is 6700 yards long from the white tees with a few par 4's well over 400 yards so depending on your drive length, you could be hitting anything from a 3-iron to a PW into a small green. It rained the night before we played so it played even longer making it a real challenge but it was fun to play and not overly crowded. I'll be playing this course again soon.
Fun time
Had a great time. Course was very challenging, fairway grass bunkers made first shot interesting. Fairways and greens were kept in good condition, some greens had bare spots, We will be back.
Terrible
Burnt greens, drunk golfers crashing into one another, and the tee boxes are poor. Won't go there again.
50% of greens dried out and need work
Great value. Paid only $10 for 18 holes, but now I know why. At least 50% of the greens are dried out and need work. How hard is it to keep the greens watered and take care of them? The rest of the course was not dried out so why should the greens be that way? The course could be a decent course for the Poconos with some attention.
I played in free with my son.
I had a great opportunity for playing golf in free. This course is good condition, but there was not the information of each hole.
Avoid at all costs
Just returned home after a trip to the poconos where we played a round a pocono manor east. I don't have anything positive to say and I'm not sure what the other reviewers are talking about but this course is an absolute joke. The conditions of the fairways and greens make it completely unplayable. I'm not exaggerating when I say that there wasn't grass on the greens. There wasn't even dirt on a few. The greens were a flat surface of hardened mud with a cup sticking out. An absolute disgrace that they charge people money to play here and I was embarassed that I even booked the round. It's a shame because the course probably was nice 20 years ago but I'm not lying when I tell you that they couldn't pay me to come back. How do you putt over a sandlot?!? Hands down the worst course I've ever seen. Sorry pocono manor, but it seems as if you won't be in operation much longer.
save your money
this course is maintained for outings and people who golf twice a year. the greens were horrible they were not maintained or in the case of half a dozen the rot was so bad it was bald. would not go back if round was free!
Poor condition!!
Most of greens were damaged!! Check-in staffs did not inform such poor condition.
Value priced, but not much else
Not particularly interesting, or well groomed. Greens - OK, fairways not irrigated so thin and REAL hard, tee boxes poor
Needs Attention
Very poor condition. Tees,fairway,rough,greens all in poor condition some to the point of being a joke. No markers at all on tees as to distance w/several obviously wrong(my wife & I played & on holes where the card showed 30 yds between men & ladies tees,you could walk off 60 yds & visa versa so one of the 2 was wrong) The starter put a 5some ahead of us.
Poor conditions
Had a two forty tee time,arrived at two pm but was not allowed to go out early,this despite the fact that the course was empty!
After playing the west course I saw why it was empty.
If clover is your thing then go to pocono manor!
The course is long and challenging, and FUN!!!!
The course is long and challenging, course would be too difficult for average Golfers if there were sand bunkers, as there are no bunkers on the course.
some holes had greens that were not so good
played in afternoon with grandson course was not busy so it was a great time to play.
good course
good condition hole 7 wasnt open again overall course in good shape
Great for inexpensive place to play.
The course is wide open and somewhat bland - no traps/hazards. Disappointing that there are no placards at the tee boxes with yardage and hole diagram, and skimpy on the ball washers. Overall though, the afternoon hot deal makes it a great opportunity to practice.
The course has an interesting layout but needs some attention.
We played on Sunday in just under four hours. Course design on the East is interesting but some of the cart paths are rough, some of the greens are in deep trouble, and some of the tee boxes were unkempt. It was wet and the greens held very well, the speed was average. Most of the lies I got were good and none had to be relieved for course condition (except on the green). We found the staff to be reasonably courteous and accommodating. It is thankfully cooler there but there were some mosquitoes so bring repellent. We enjoyed our experience and will be back.
Disgraceful to not enforce Pace of Play on this great and historic golf course.
5 hour round, not good and preventable. There were multiple and significant violations of, and lack of enforcement of, some fundamentals of the USGA Rules of Golf by golfers in front. Rule breaches included pace of play, safety and etiquette. This prompted a required phone call to the Pro Shop for assistance. The first call (hole 12) produced no effective results and we saw no Golf Ranger. The second call (hole 13) began with an unusual failure/refusal to understand what "...hole number thirteen on the West Course..." meant, as I was letting them know where our current location was on the course. Again, no effective results and we saw no Golf Ranger.
Fix this problem and this historic course would make for a great round of golf.
