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.

One of a kind

Fun course with a unique layout. Definitely ask the starter for the pro cheat sheet which officers advise for each hole as there los of blind shots and elevation changes. Overall fun course to play!

Incredible course - even in the rain!

This is one of our most favorite courses that we have played! - Beautiful - challenging enough - and had a super friendly staff! Even though our round was cut short by a torrential downpour - it was still GREAT! The staff gave us a rain check so that we could finish the last nine the next day!

A little rain

The rain had definitely helped but more is needed. Fairways are still burned out. It’s nothing a little sun , warm weather and rain can’t fix.

Average Public Course

Well maintained fairways and greens. Hot Deal was a good value. No sand makes for an easier round. Need to drive fairly straight or bring a lot of golf balls.

The price is right

Greens are good. Fairways still need work but you can always find a patch of grass to place your ball on.

Wish it was in better shape. Love the layout.

Hole in One

First time playing Pocono Manor. On the third hole par 3, 193 yards, a blind shot with Calloway Mavrik 7 wood, dropped in for hole in one, witnessed by the threesome on the 4th tee box and my play partner. What a day!

First time solo

Never played here since the online tee times require 2 or more and I'm always playing by myself but visited the course early on a wednesday and was allowed right on. Really interesting course pretty well taken care of. Greens were super fast took a little time to adjust. I'd say half the holes are pretty straight forward and wide open pretty simple for the average golfer but the other half were tough blind shots having to think through every club and swing it was really difficult on some holes. I can imagine this on the weekends creates insane wait times though so I doubt I'd ever play here on a Saturday or Sunday. Mid week though this course is awesome, and starter was also really helpful and nice.

Fast, dry conditions due to lack of rain. Hard to get a tee in the ground. Greens firm and lightning quick. Fairways in good shape. Great staff, especially the starter who is on top of everything. Always a fun day of golf at the manor.
