Good times!

The course is challenging, fair and fun. Staff is friendly and efficient. I drive 50 minutes to play here and it is well worth it.

Long grass is tough keep in play.

Views are spectacular, not crowded we played on a Sunday. Lots of elevation changes. Carts only,13miles of cart path through housing development. Plenty of time for drinks lol. Good prices.

Disappointed

I've played it several times during the past few years and it was always great. Good condition, interesting layout and usually a pretty quick round.
That being said course was in a pretty beat up condition. Fairways, tees & greens were pretty bad. Lots of burnt out areas including a few really bad greens on the back nine. I asked what had happened and was told they had had no rain early, then irrigation problems.
Still was ok, but was not worth the money.

Great course, difficult year.

This is a great course, although some fairways are narrow and there are forced carries (but primarily just on par 3s). There have been water problems this year, so a lot of tee boxes are rough, but most of the fairways are in decent condition.

SO many people complain about the distance between holes. Who cares!? You're in a cart for God's sake! Many of the rides between holes are actually quite beautiful.

Long par 3s, mostly short par 4s. Many BEAUTIFUL holes.

Disappointing!!

It is obvious that this course is not properly cared for. No grass on men's or women's tee boxes. Greens were in poor condition. Placement of women's tees were unfairly placed. Wasn't a fun day at all.

Course needs work

ProShop staff was friendly and courteous, can’t say the same for the starter. Course needs serious work from tee to green. Tuesday $25 deal is not worth it IMO. There are waaaaaay better courses for a little more $$. I will not be back until I see improved reviews on GN.

Play any where else, avoid!!!

Course should be closed either for renovations or permanently, front nine is “ok”, it’s ruff but compared to the back nine it’s “ok”. Making the turn onto 10 the tee box was in poor shape, the fairway was dry compared to others. Some holes on the front nine were like soup, very over watered, greens the same way, soaked. The back nine was missing tee boxes entirely, not a blade of grass to be found, greens had more any hills then grass!! Grounds crew was out watering the 12th, hit my tee shot to the middle of it, and even though they were near by they couldn’t be bothered to turn it off. Conditions got worse after that. Said something to the guy behind the counter and basically got “not my problem”. Much better course exist nearby and you should play those, avoid this course at all costs.

It’s a gem

I hesitate to say how great the course is because I don’t want it to become overcrowded. 😊 The entire course conditions were above average. Many holes are challenging. The Pocono woods are unforgiving. Bring an extra sleeve or two.
I highly recommend the facility. I can’t wait to bring friends and family to play.
