One of the better kept courses in the area

I've always found Shawnee to be in pretty good condition compared to other courses around the area and this time was no exception. I wouldn't say the course is in pristine condition as the rough played a little higher than it should have, but certainly no problem areas on this course and the greens were very nice as always. My one complaint was about the pace of play - but it was Father's Day and that had more to do with the inexperienced golfers than the course itself.

Great course

Great course to play on very open fairways. Good for begginers and pros. Twilight price of 19 bucks is one of the best values for a course that i've every played on. Highly recomended a try.

Classic course.

Aged to perfection. 3-9 hole courses. I played red and white. A couple of interesting and tricky holes, but for the most part, straight out par 4 and par 5. Scenery along the Delaware river is just beautiful and relaxing. Water hazards not a real problem. Large area for pre-practice. You'll like it.

Interesting, challenging holes over relatively flat terrain.

Greens were pretty fast for April play, although the red course had some greens in poor shape (but grass was growing and should improve).
A stiff wind made this course play longer and that made it challenging.

The course has great views of the Deleware River, and it's wild life.

Thoroughly enjoyed the scenery and the course for this time of year.

THERE ARE BETER COURSES NEARBY

The Shawnee Inn was just too slow, was in poor condition and lacked character to play unless you were staying right at the resort. The course is right along the Delaware but doesn't make use of the river views as much as it should. Relatively flat course for being in the Poconos. Greens were slow and a few fairways and rough along the water have obviously been flooded out many times.

The course is very scenic. Challenging holes are mingled with holes an averge golfer can excel on. I plan on making this an annual course to play.

If you are in the poconos and have the chance to play this course DO IT! The history and scenery couple with a great course.

Not impressed

The course was disappointing I thought. It was confusing to find certain holes and some holes people are driving there ball into you. Didn't like the lay out at all. Too pricey for that course. Wouldn't go back.

Relaxed but challenging.

This is a great course, and one I wanted to play over and over again. With three 9-hole courses, you can play 18 and mix it up, or go for the whole 27 very easily.
