Type Public
Par 72
Length 6965 yards
Slope 144
Rating 74.5

Blue Ridge Trail Golf Club boasts 27 holes of championship golf that are played in three 18-hole combinations. The three different nines are natural named Blue, Ridge, and Trail. Tucked away in the hills of northeastern Pennsylvania, the golf courses provide stunning scenery and views. All of the holes were carefully carved from the surrounding woodlands and molded into the hillsides. An abundance of trees characterizes the course, giving all of the holes a secluded feel that is further enhanced by the design, which doesn't feature any parallel fairways. The Trail/Blue Course combines the shortest and longest nines but both are considered slightly more challenging than the Ridge nine. The Trail nine possesses two of the four water holes at the club. There is a combination for every skill level and four sets of tees make the nines even more accommodating.

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!
