Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 7095 yards
Slope 140
Rating 74.8

Nestled in the rolling hills of northeastern Pennsylvania, Blue Ridge Trail Golf Club offers 27 holes of championship golf that were carefully carved from woodlands and valleys. There are no parallel fairways throughout the entire course, giving each hole a secluded setting. The golf course offers plenty of variety, which has made it a popular venue for outings and tournaments. The holes are divided into nines that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The Blue/Ridge Course is both scenic and challenging. The courses are almost equal in length but the Blue nine is considered slightly more difficult, although the Ridge nine possesses two of the few water holes at the club. Mature trees frame most of the holes and there are also strategically placed bunkers along the greensides.

Nice Course.

Course is great. They were aerating a few fairways and only reason for not getting a 5 star in that category.

Beautiful Gem

Started off as a twosome and after the front 9 hooked up with another twosome from Illinois. The pace wasn't as fast as prior visits, but hooking up with the others allowed for more consistent play. The views on this course are picturesque. It is a challenging course which requires a lot of strategic play. Lots of interesting stuff blocking clear shots so you have to be smart in how you play. Strongly recommend this course!!!

Fast Greens

The greens were fast and in great condition.

Pace of play for Wednesday morning was efficient and no back up going from 9 to 10 (blue to ridge) which could be an issue at times as they cycle the 3 courses (9 hole each).
