The Poconos Club Tee Times

I paid $28 to play here! That is the cheapest round of golf I have ever paid. I expected this course to be a dog track for that price but was pleasantly surprised that it was in great shape. The course was short but tight and challenging. Greens we healthy, running a little slot but consistent and the tee boxes could use a little work. All in all I highly recommend playing here. The pro shop staff was friendly and welcoming too.

I’ve played most of the public courses with in 30 minutes of marshals creek and this one is definitely at the top of the list for me. First, the staff was great. Don’t let the “country club” in the name intimidate you. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating and as a non resident outsider I’ve gotten less than stellar treatment at other semi private courses. The course itself is super interesting. It plays short and narrow and certainly makes you think about your tee shot but a good decision off the tee and precise approach shot will reward you with a true rolling green to give you a look at birdie. The tee boxes and fairways were showing their strain from the dry summer but they were flat which is a huge deal and the greens, where it matters most were in excellent condition. Some of the views were really spectacular too. Elevated tee boxes and punishing wood lines OB will make you think twice before going for the short par 4’s with your woods. It’s nestled in a residential area and houses usually concern me off the tee as I’m not always a straight shot but they were never really a concern as they are far enough away from the course and well guarded by trees I felt I could swing freely without having to worry about an errant shot costing me big $$$. Finally each hole is spaced out ridiculously far apart. I spent as much time driving as I did playing golf. Don’t take that the wrong way, the quiet trek though woods and gorgeous houses was a welcome sight. Even with that, I still finished in about 3 hours and I took my time planning my strategy and reading putts on this new to me course. I’d rate this 5 stars if the tee boxes and fairways were in better shape but the management assures me they will be putting in some time and money to making the needed improvements. Some may be displeased with the conditions I played in today, but as long as the greens roll true, I’m fairly easy to please. YMMV.

One of the best layouts of any courses we've played! Fairways, tee boxes and even some greens pretty burnt out, but still worth it just for the layout. Par 70. Could use a ranger due to some people struggling, We played today in 5 hours and change. Last 5 holes were pretty good pace, so the group holding everyone up must have finished! New management, so hopefully improvements coming! Course could be one of the best in the Poconos with some improvements!

I'm giving this a 3 because I understand there is new ownership. I don't envy them in how far this course has to go to get back to it's best and how big a task it will me. Look, it's got something like 13 in miles of cart path over the hills and through lots and lots of woods. At one point we missed a turn in a neighborhood and were in the backyard of someone's house, down their long driveway. ON the flip side, and you can see from this picture, this course has some crazy beautiful views that if they can get grass back on the guitars and clean up the gravel in some of the rough, there's a memorable gem here. My friends and I were glad to have tried it to help give a little money to the effort. And if we do come back it won't be this year, hopefully by next year the cost will be back up to it's better potential self.
