About

Type Public
Par 72
Length 6964 yards
Slope 146
Rating 74.3

There are 27 holes of championship golf available at Blue Ridge Trail Golf Club. They are divided into three nines, naturally named Blue, Ridge and Trail, that are played in different 18-hole combinations. The holes have an advantageous setting amidst mountains and trees, offering both privacy and scenery. The setting is made even more peacefully secluded by the fact that there are no parallel fairways throughout the entire golf course. The holes were carefully carved from the forests and hillsides, providing each nine with a different character. With four water holes, the Ridge/Trail combination has the most water of any of the courses. There are also strategically placed bunkers throughout but the towering, mature trees present the most formidable challenges. The course starts off rather gently with the player-friendly Ridge, but becomes progressively more difficult on the back nine.

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!

The only complaint is the pace of play somehow they’ll be backed up on day with less than 20 cars in the parking lot and they have 27 holes besides that it’s great.
