The Inn at Pocono Manor offers two championship golf courses, conveniently located less than two hours from New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia. Surrounded by the beauty of the Poconos, the inn has earned a spot on the National Registry of Historic Places. George Fazio designed the West Course, and the East Course was Donald Ross' creation. The East Course, the original layout, has hosted a number of legendary players, including Arnold Palmer and Sam Snead, since 1912. Ross carefully sculpted the mountainous landscape to create a course that is both challenging and memorable. It is shorter and tighter than the other course but they are equal in level of difficulty. The golf course is defined by the interesting water hazards that come into play on several holes, but the scenic views are also a draw.

Could have been better

Strange layout. I was lucky and was teamed with 3 locals. Having someone guide you around the couse was a big help. Some tee boxes and fairways required maintenance. Greens overall were in great shape, but a few had bare spots near the edging.

A fun course

Still effective course after 110 years. Donald Ross architecture holds up. Played green tees. First two par 3s are fun and have a very small margin for success ( the other two are also good).
Mounds abound!

Every hole is different

A challenging open track, with a bunch of one of a kind holes, the highlight is the 77 yard par 3 7th hole with its hundred foot drop off. Some very tricky greens (4, 6, 9 will turn your hair white) and the ultimate blind shot on 16, where if you have the skill and the guts, you can drive the green.
I’ve never seen anyone do so.
A must play in the area.

No Marshals

Some beautiful holes and some silly holes, be prepared to hunt for your ball. Lots of blind shots and greens. Overall the staff was friendly. Got stuck behind 2 groups of 8. Watched them tee off in front of the club house and no one did anything or cared. Should have asked for a refund before teeing off. The over 3 hours to play the first 9 holes while waiting on every hole sucked any fun out our round of golf. Hope the experience is better for others but I will not be returning. When I asked about a Marshal I was told he’s on vacation. (No one else can drive a golf cart???)

Fairways

I hope there are plans to put irrigation on the course. The fairways were very dry and hard. The greens are in good shape however, why did they sand dresss them again?
