White/Blue at Shawnee Inn & Golf Resort
About
There are three nines at Shawnee Inn & Golf Resort: the Red, the White, and the Blue. For practice, there is also a nine-hole par-3 course. 24 of the 27 championship holes share a unique location on an island in the middle of the Delaware River. Long ago, the odd little island was formed when one of the last glaciers melted. The holes are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The White/Blue Course features well manicured fairways and gently undulating greens. There are strategically placed bunkers along the greensides as well as thick patches of rough. On almost every hole, golfers can enjoy stunning views of the nearby Poconos Mountains. The beautiful setting and interesting design of all the golf courses have made Shawnee one of the Pennsylvania's finest destinations.

Practicing putting. Photo submitted by hpawlak on 05/14/2013
One of top courses in area
Wide open course very flat.
Fairways were excellent.
Greens are very large but challenging pin placements with elevation changes.
good overall course
started at 515 did not interact with any workers no food on the course no drinks and we were asked to leave in daylight two holes to go in around because they were going to close one of the gates on the bridges
Unusually flat for a Mountain Course
The staff was very friendly. The course was in good shape especially considering a rough winter. Green were tricky but a bit on the slower side. Overall the course was in good shape with no bacvkups, quick pace of play.
Great Day for 18
We played Sunday afternoon. Got out right on time on Red. Had a quick snack at the turn to Blue. The pace was good. No waiting around. Greens were true but still a little bumpy from the airing. Fairways were cut and in good condition.
Would recommend this course to anyone!!!!
Cramped course
This was my first time playing Shawnee and for as large as the facility is, the course seems very cramped. All the holes are ontop of one another and that made it difficult to see where you were going at times. The pace of play was to be expected with as busy as it was. If this were an 18 hole course, it would be incredible because of the views and terrain. However, with 27, it is just Eh.
PICTURESQE with interesting holes
Fairly forgiving. Only a few holes with good difficulty. Greens were just aerated but rolled and cut smooth. Didn't change the putting much at all. Sand a bit uneven and inconsistent: some fluffy, some hard. The course is well trapped around the greens but not as big a factor as you might think. Fairways coming in very nice and a fair amount of water that you definitely need course knowledge for. There's 27 holes and a great place to golf. Hardly ever a wait: easy four hour round. Scenery beautiful! Eagles, bears, Delaware river, mountains.
Will play often.
Shawnee inn perfection
Course was well maintained during the winter and in excellent condition on 4-27-15. All staff members were really friendly. From the grounds keeper, the halfway house attendent, even the young gentleman mowing. I highly recommend everyone to come here at least once. Definitely will be returning here myself. Keep up the excellent work Shawnee!!!!
Course was great, I was not!
The course was in great shape for just being opened. There was a frost delay, but I still finished the round in 4 hours of my normal time. It was a great day of golf. Just wish I scored better. I will be back again!
Rambo 44
Since it just opened the conditios were a little rough. I think it will improve later in the seAson.
Beautiful Course
This course is always in outstanding condition with beautiful scenery along the Delaware River. Such a great golf location. The course is very friendly as well, the staff are all wonderful! Additionally this past round they did a shotgun start to avoid frost delays, this was a brilliant management decision which should be shared with other courses in the area. We had a smooth round with very little to no wait time. So well organized, very impressive.
Great November Golf
Temps. ~60 degrees, Overcast & no wind to speak of.Considering this is a public course & It's now November the Greens were in excellent shape & rolled true.Staff was still very active keeping leaves off of greens, very important this time of year , who wants to hit to a leaf cover green.,,Staff very friendly & helpful.Played red 9 to White 9 in 3 hours. 40 min. for $25-, really cant beat that combo.If it wasn't raining today I'd be back now rather than writing this review!!definitely be back,,nice place to golf,
island golf
you have to love a golf course that takes you out on to an island in the river. just the uniqueness of that is enough to get you to go play here. course is in incredible playing condition for early november. a lot of history at this place too, with the early pros playing here and celebrities like jackie gleason and his fellow entertainers from that era..cant beat the deal i got from golfnow.com!..looking forward to playing here again and again.
Great "Old School" golf course
Course was in excellent condition. Staff extremely friendly. This is a gem, go and enjoy this course. I will be back.
Beautiful Classic Old Course
A flat island in the middle of the Delaware River, surrounded by mountains (all things being relative for the area!). A classic old resort with pictures of Walter Hagen, Jackie Gleason, and others in the clubhouse. 100 foot tall trees separate the fairways instead of waste areas or woods, so you can almost always find your ball on errant tee shots. $30 + tax on a Monday a fantastic deal. A very enjoyable round.
Shawnee Inn and Resort
The course was in great shape. There was activity seen throughout the course, mowing, spraying, and general upkeep, necessary for good course conditions.The staff was extremely helpful in keeping our round moving. Switched us from blue to red to blue to white because of us being a twosome and playing our first nine in 1.5 hours. Greens were soft and receptive and putted true. Would definitely go back again.
Greens, fairways, tees were in very good condition
The course overall was in very good condition especially given that we haven't had much rain this year. I would have rated excellent but the mounds and undulations of the red course greens made many putts just impossible - well beyond reasonable slope on the greens. It was a little buggy with gnats. Other than that, the course was in very good shape. I'd still recommend it.
played on a great day in august
Played on a great day in august sunny and mid 70s. Warned by golf now of aeration and the blue course closed, played white no aeration, and red that was just aerated but nicely top dressed Despite one course closed not crowded for such a nice day. I also enjoyed the brewpub nextdoor for a beer and dinner afterwards
A classic
Played the Blue/red routing. Spectacular Tillinghast design...great conditions, memorable par 3's(2 across the river)challenging green complexes...Can't wait to go back. Beautiful, old time resort with plenty to do for vacationers. Do yourself a favor and go there!
Good round
Friendly and helpful staff. ...excellant conditions, greens were very fast. The course is not easy, you pay for bad shots! Hit it straight and you will have a good round. It was a very enjoyable round and Golfnow got us a fantastic rate. I will certainly play this course again.
Wonderful eastern PA course
After the Monday storm checked golfnow Tuesday morning and found a great rate for Shawnee.
Took a nice drive to the golf course and enjoyed
Playing white and blue.
Both courses were in great shape and other than getting wet on hole two white my wife and I pressed on to an enjoyable round of golf.
