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.

Ball washers need water :)

We played this morning, 04/11/2023 and the course is in excellent condition for this time of year. Greens are cut and very puttable. Coolers on the course are full of cold drinking water.

If the maintenance staff is reading this, please put the plugs in the ball washers and fill them ;). Thank you.

Course Condition

The rain has definitely helped to soften up the fairways and greens. But the cart paths are atrocious.

Phenomenal old-style course

Unlike most Poconos courses, this has generally wide fairways. Very interesting layouts with some blind pins, but all are manageable. Some VERY long par 4s (one was 480 from the whites), but the course was built before these things were standardized. Few sand bunkers, but a lot of original waste areas. Fast Donald Ross domed greens, so be prepared to be confused. Loved it.

Yeah, the cart paths need work, but who cares?

Lastly, I found the course to be several strokes harder than the rating indicates.

Good course friendly staff

Recently played there course condition were good greens played fast. The only I was disappointed about no golf beverage cart was there that day and bar was closed. It's a shame they lose so much revenue . They need to hire the proper people to run the food and beverage.
