Joined their $250/play as much as you want with a cart for $25 after 1pm membership. Great deal. Course was in great shape. Almost a "stadium course": really wide fairways but hilly so plenty of challenge while you shouldn't lose many balls off the tee. Fairways and greens in really nice shape. Just a couple of water holes. Green knowledge helps quite a bit as there are some big breaks. If you are used to a flat golf course, this will be quite a challenge. Other reviewers have complained about course ranger "aggressiveness" in keeping up pace of play. Thank you rangers! They list pace of play as 4.5 hours. I don't want to play a 5 hour round. Round today took 4:10. Really enjoyed it.

Split Rock is a pretty course and in decent shape, but if you are beyond the rough your ball is gone. The rough is narrow, and the woods have thick underbrush that might as well be water. If you are an average golfer and treat these woods as anything other than "red stake" hazards it will take you a long time to play this course. So bring extra balls...I actually thought that I might run out :D

Jack Frost is likely the best course in the Poconos (although I have not made it to Woodloch Springs, quite far from mainstream Poconos). Fairways are wide, and the course is as long as you need. You can play from 6200-7200 yards, and it is very hilly. The starter let me walk/carry, despite his concerns about my ability to do so (I am 51), and I appreciated that. Fitbit said it was a 9.5 mile walk, so if you would like to walk take that into consideration. Conditions were fantastic, and as others have said the greens are tough to read due to the course being on the side of the mountain. It is a shame that the clubhouse is not much more than a trailer. Can't quite call it a "bucket list" course, but it is on a tier just below that.

Beautiful links style course. There was a 2 hour frost delay and I thought that the starter might have a nervous breakdown dealing with it! But our 1:40 tee time went off at 2:10. The course is absolutely beautiful. Rolling hills, and several greens 20+ feet above your 2nd shot, and most of us aren't really experienced enough to figure out how to adjust club selection in order to hit the greens. Definitely enjoyed the experience. Got on at $40+tax on a Tuesday. Sometimes $140, so that was a steal.

The course was in fantastic shape. $40 on a Tuesday a super deal. Fairways are very generous, although they put traps in the middle of some fairways to increase the challenge. The greens were very fast, which I like. My only gripe is that for a course built next to a ski resort, there would be plenty of slope on the greens. There are too many 2 tiered greens where putting off the green or having your putt return to your feet are a possibility. Still well worth the trip.

A flat island in the middle of the Delaware River, surrounded by mountains (all things being relative for the area!). A classic old resort with pictures of Walter Hagen, Jackie Gleason, and others in the clubhouse. 100 foot tall trees separate the fairways instead of waste areas or woods, so you can almost always find your ball on errant tee shots. $30 + tax on a Monday a fantastic deal. A very enjoyable round.

The course is tough and there is lots of water, dog legs, and blind shots. They no longer say which famous holes they are trying to recreate. Lawyers. But the course was in fantastic shape, and we played for $30+tax on a Sunday. It is hilly as you would expect in the Poconos, but the greens are fair. $30 was a steal.

Did not take advantage of the clubhouse so I don't know about the food/beverages. Course was in great shape. Plenty long from the Men's tees 6300+ on par 71 on hills. Paid $54 on a Sunday morning. Can play Mon-Fri after 2pm walking for $25 an absolute steal. Used to be private. No houses near by. Absolutely isolated. Hidden gem.

Very nice course cut through an upscale development that did not intrude on the course. You were not concerned about shelling a 500K home! Very wide fairways, plenty long with multiple tee boxes to choose from. Course was in nice shape. Good speed on greens that had reasonable undulation. $90 on a Saturday afternoon a bit pricy. Enjoyed lunch before the round.

On most modern courses, the designer seems to want to punish the golfer. Artificial mounds in fairways, artificial ridgelines on the greens. Not so on Shawnee. While there are 100+ year old massive trees, you can find most of your golf balls. Punching out? Sure. There should be some punishment for errant shots. And unlike many 100+ year old courses, plenty of yardage from the Men's tee box, with a champion tee beyond that. Course conditions were excellent. Men's tees about 6300. One giant bald eagle's nest with Mom seen. Jackie Gleason pics and other early to mid 1900's celebs posted in the clubhouse. Treat yourself to a walk back in time.

Each cart had the "while we are young" quote to speed play. I get that and agree. But every pin placement was a "Sunday" pin placement on a Friday afternoon. #15 was one foot above an artificial ridge. One golfer in my group's putt came up 2 feet short, and ended up back at his feet. Want to speed play? Consider where you put the holes. Otherwise we really liked the course. Too bad that a mountain course felt the need to put in a bunch of 2 tiered greens and to put the holes near the ridges.

Course is tight. 1st hole par 5 if you have never played before is tough to judge. My 50 year old swing with a 5 wood well struck went into the hazard. It won't be the last ball you felt like you hit well and ends up in a hazard.
