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.

management packet the course with players. had to wait for every shot. no marshals seen. some golfers are there for the day. 4-4.5 hrs should be pace of play, not 5-5.5. greedy management. a round of golf should not take up a whole day

Great hidden gem

My playing partner and I were in the area to go river fishing. Originally, we were going to play another course but learned there was a private outing at the other course so I booked Blue Ridge Trail. We played the Teail and Blue holes. Excellent layout. Rather generous fairways. There we several holes requiring a carry off the tee, but nothing too severe. The greens were quick and true. The only slight issue were the Bunkers which were quote firm. Overall, however, this was a great find and I highly.recommend the course.

Great Track for a great price.

This course is top 5 in the Poconos and if you factor in the value of the lower than average price to play in the area its probably top 2. Great conditions, awesome staff, best golf cart ive ever used, touch screen GPS, bluetooth, etc. This place is a must play on your next trip to the Poconos.

Fun to play!

Great layout, all holes very playable, sand traps were in good shape for April, greens need warm weather to grow but good for April, gps in carts worked great, cart paths in excellent shape, and tee boxes were good. Definitely going back again.

Greens aerated

Two of the three nines have been aerated. Greens that have not been aerated are very inconsistent speed wise. Second time I’ve played here this spring and this is becoming a trend. Layout is awesome and price is right!
