Best In State for a Reason

Best public in the Golfers Choice list for 2024 for a reason. Classic Robert White course. He designed Water Gap which sadly closed. Hilly course with small built up greens.

Staff and conditions are top notch. Must okay if in the Poconos.

Traditional

Skytop has been around since the late 20's. The grounds and amenities are old-world fabulous, though leaning toward the spendy side. The course is in surprisingly great shape for this time of year. The greens were almost fully back after an early season aeration. Stay below the hole as downhill putts and approach shots long will be very difficult to manage, but rewarding when done so...worth a visit and definitely stay for a meal at the hotel.

Props to the Groundskeeper.

First time playing at Skytop. Shout out to the Groundskeeper manager, Brian, for the fantastic maintenance of the course. It exceeded my expectations and I will return next year with my family. These ratings are a reflection of the passion of the workers involved. Kudos. - Maxx.

Excellent course and conditions

It's mid-November and the course is in great condition. The course itself is interesting (but not overly long) and the fairways are wider (never pinched by trees) than most Poconos mountain courses. As others commented, the greens are tiny. All the par 3s are on the long side, so I missed a lot of greens.

Beautiful views and the staff was super-freindly and helpful.

Just make sure if you are bringing a junior golfer you play after two o’clock. Course makes no provisions for a junior before two o’clock

Not the best policy.

Ideal play

Course is in perfect condition. Make sure you listen to the starter. Let you know when you have to cross the road instead of going to the closest Teebox. Insane the place is pristine and the layout itself. This song has some challenges that are really fun to navigate.

Country club course

One of the best golf courses I have played this year. The course is in immaculate condition as the fairways are cut well without any divets and the greens are very difficult. Plenty of sand traps that are in excellent condition as the sand is very soft. The course is challenging to players at all levels.

Enjoying this challenging course more each time I play it. It’s in great shape all around, no 2 holes the same, friendly and helpful staff, and good value for the money. Highly recommend.

Surprisingly good

Took easy 2 hour drive from Westchester

You can tell a lot about a course by the condition of their tees

The tees were excellent - Fairways very good and greens ran smooth

Greens are generally small but but were receptive

Layout was quite good and unique 18th hole

Everyone friendly...

Only disappointment is how long it took to get to play here

Hidden gem

Have passes this course driving through so many times I finally had time to go and I was very glad I did. One of the friendliest staff I've dealt with. The course conditions were amazing for the time of year. Fairways were absolutely pure.

Great elevation change, sloped fairways that suit both shot shapes. Can't wait to go back!

This course has a very friendly staff and good conditions

Very nice layout, good conditions, friendly staff, and overall enjoyable experience. The only negative would be that over the years the green sizes have decreased to the point that it does effect playability. Greens rolled nice but they are so small that it really effect the average golfer.
