SkyTop Lodge

Have wanted to play Skytop for a long time. Never got around to it. Played yesterday. Course was in nice condition. Course is basic. Green complexes average. Was surprised by the amount of distance from green to next tee often. That's quite odd for a 1928 course. Glad I made the journey to play.

Some holes are very long and challenging but overall a great course. Also has places to rent on the course. Suggested to my family to visit and play golf at Skytop.

You really need a Ranger to check on play . Back up was horrendous

This has always been a nice course; the problem in the past has been the staff (particularly in the pro shop) just being snobby and/or nasty. Not so this time around, so hopefully they’ve had a change of staff and a change of heart. Pro Shop guy was super nice, as was the starter. They had my bag on a cart without me even checking in. On the negative side, 2 holes had the flag pulled and one hole had a screwdriver laying on it (the tool, not the drink).

SKYTOP IS IN PERFECT CONDITION RIGHT NOW. I RECOMMEND PLAYING IT... GREENS ARE ROLLING FAST, FAIRWAYS FIRM, AND SCORING IS SOLID.

I understand there was snow two weeks ago so the greens are a little rough in spots where they have been seeded. Overall for a Pocono course which is at higher elevation it was in pretty good condition.

Pace of play was excellent. Done in less than 4 hours playing at a nice clip.

NICE COURSE THAT HAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT SHOTS THAT ARE NEEDED TO PLAY...I RECOMMEND THIS COURSE. IT WAS WINDY TODAY, SO A BIT MORE DIFFICULT. GREENS WERE AVERAGE AT BEST. IT IS WORTH THE RIDE... PLAY IT!

This course was in amazing condition for November. The greens were like it was April with little play on them.

First time playing this course. Day was low 50's and 12-15 mph winds. that added to the challenge to figure out what to hit on my first time playing it.

I liked the varied holes. Some are easy, some are challenging in that you have to watch for tilted fairways on some, dogleg causing run out on others.

Sand traps were in bad shape, but it is November of a rainy year. Tee Boxes in good shape. Fairways and greens also in good shape. Greens were slower than I expected but I think that's intentional due to the time of year. The greens weren't nearly as undulating at the course write stated.

The scenery is good. Varies from resort buildings, to private homes, some nice elevation views and changes on the course. The cost was super cheap. It's the 4th 'resort' course in the Poconos I've played and it ties for first place of the four. I liked their simple tee box signs. Basic and easily visible from a distance.

I do think the tee box and yardages could be improved. Forward tees measure just over 5,700 then the whites are almost 6,400. Wide gap for those two. I'd recommend they add a 4th tee box to some holes to shorten the white's.

It seemed well maintained and good signage around the resort. The parking was minimal though, so I wonder where folks go on busy warm months.

I'll go again even though it's a 90 minutes drive. I thought it above average of all courses I've played.

This course is wonderful. A good challenge to any level player. I'd recommend it to anyone!

Great round , on a challenging course well kept course. BYOFB

Very high price for the coarse in the condition it’s in now. Half the bunker are filled with water. Friendly staff
