Great Venue

Beautiful views along the Delaware river. Course layout was traditional with some really neat holes. The 2 par 3's over the river are fantastic.

Worth a try if you are in the area

Great Course

I really enjoyed my round. Everything was very wet due to the week of rain and the day was also pretty windy. Nothing the Course could really control. Overall, a fun and challenging course.

Well maintained

Nice to play a golf course in the pocono that have fairways that are flat. Greens run true,but still have slight bumps and breaks but not crazy Staff very friendly.

Poor shape, ne

Played red/white. Course is in very poor shape in comparison with other courses. Tons of weeds and crabgrass. Greens were soft due to rain the night before, and one or two holes were closed to puddles. Even then, it felt like a basic municipal course. It's a shame especially considering the history of the course.

I'd stay away in the future, as it isn't even close to same level of courses we played the same weekend (Jack Frost National and Skytop)

Last second book

So glad we chose to go to Shawnee on the spur of the moment. Such a cool set up and dinnertime tee time with no one really out on the course was just what we needed. Plus I got to see my best friend.

Just Good “Old School” Golf, With Tons Of History

Worth the trip form Bergen County.

Somehow it’s a “Golf Resort” just over the Delaware River in Pennsylvania with a lot of history to it. You pull up, and you are immediately brought back in time. Arnold Palmer, Jackie Gleason played here, and many more.

The layout (Played the Blue-Red) while no hole (Except the two par 3’s over the water) really stand out, it’s just good overall golf holes. Wide open, but it can be brutal if you miss the greens on your approach.

Take the trip out and you’ll enjoy it very much.

Fun course

I played on a holiday so the pace of play was ok. When we finished the front 9 -three hours later, we asked if we could play the other 9 holes because the players in front of was very slow. The staff checked with the starter at the other 9 holes it was ok and away we went. We finished the last 9 holes just under 2 hours. Staff was great.
