Great Golfing Experience!

My wife and I are planning to retire in South Carolina. When we do, this Golf Course will be at the top of our list. Everything from the clubhouse to the practice facilities to the course itself was extremely enjoyable.
The layout is interesting, and it requires a number of skilled shots to score low. But it also was extremely friendly to female golfers.
In fact, this Golf Course is nestled in an about other premium golf courses that charge quite a bit more to play. I would choose this call course over any of those. You cannot get much greater satisfaction from playing a high price Golf Course than you can from playing this one.
If you see it on GolfNow, you better grab it. It is well worth your time.

Nice Course

With a little bit of TLC this could be a very nice course. The par threes are easy but the par fours and fives have difficulty on the left and the right side of the fairway. There are some elevation changes. Some areas of the golf course are not maintained very well, but it's certainly not bad. This nine hole course was well worth the money I paid through Golf Now. As long as you don't overpay, you'll enjoy it. Also, the practice facility looks solid. Take a chance on this golf course, I think you'll like it.

Beautiful Golf Course

I absolutely loved this course! You have hazards to deal with on every hole, but there was ample room to miss-hit a few shots and get away with it. This is a visually gorgeous layout, especially the bunkers (which are mostly avoidable for a decent player.) There is also plenty of water, but again you can avoid it if you don't spray the ball left or right too dramatically. The greens were definitely fair all around. I can't wait to go back!

Course is on the way back!

Enjoyed this course. The greens were fast and true, and there was plenty of water and length to keep things interesting. The owner is in his 2nd year of getting this course up and running again after it had closed some time ago. The fairways are a bit sparse in some areas, and the tee boxes could use a little more manicuring. However the course is coming along and is worth a try if you're in the area. Good practice area, nice clubhouse, and a solid course for ladies since the tees are generous for females.

Nice layout!

This course has some interesting holes, is not terribly long, but can be narrow in some areas. Overall, my wife and I both liked it very much. It is fairly well maintained and not overplayed. The round played quickly and the value for the money spent was great! I would agree, however, with the others who complained about the car paths. The use chipped wood instead of a hard surface, and that could be good if they would flatten and smooth it out better. The bumps began to take its toll on my back by the end of the round. Don't let that stop you, though. This course is solid and I would definitely return. Worth the 45-minute drive from Hilton Head.

Improvements noted!

I didn't expect much from this golf course,but to my amazement, course conditions have improved significantly. I noticed five or six guys working on the course when I got there, and I hadn't seen that before at this golf course. Granted some of the tee boxes still need some work, but I will put this course back on the list of acceptable places to play while in the Poconos. The front nine plays a little quirky with a strange layout, but I decided to embrace the unconventional holes and have fun with them. It made my day much more enjoyable. There are elevation changes and the greens are small, but if you're playing well you can shoot a low round! The back nine is short with a basic layout and few hazards. Truthfully, I swore off this course a couple years ago, but form what I see now, I'll definitely come back.

Worth the money!

This 9-hole golf course won't really challenge a seasoned golfer, but it's fun nonetheless. Everything is in great condition and the people are friendly. For the Golfnow price, you can't beat it!

Nice layout - unplayable rough!

This course good be a decent place to play, but the rough was set-up for the US Open, not a casual weekend round of golf. Every shot not in the fairway required an incredible amount of searching, which after a few holes becomes very tiresome. Even if you found your ball, it took all the strength you had to hit the ball out of it. Throw in extremely slow greens and spotty tee box conditions and you've got the overall poor rating I've given this place. No player in our group enjoyed this course, and we all decided it was "one and done" for this place.

Nice golf course to play 18 holes

This golf course has Creek in its title so you better be prepared to play with many creeks running through the fairways. You have water to deal with on five of the nine holes. That can get a little tiresome after a while. Overall though it's a nice little golf course. The greens run true and fast. Just be prepared to lose a few golf balls if you happen to hit some grounders or come up short on some approach shots.

I totally enjoyed this golf course!

This golf course will not present much of a challenge to a scratch golfer. However, anything less than a scratch golfer will really enjoy this golf course. The front nine is fairly straight, but the back nine is a little mountainous. The golf course is well-maintained and the scenery is beautiful. I would play this golf course again in a heartbeat. If you hit the ball reasonably well, you'll love this golf course as much as I did.

Good golf course!

We played this course because the price was right, but we'll definitely be back. The layout is basic, but it's fairly well maintained and the holes have some traps and water that make things interesting. Not much scenery, but the pace of play was good and they have 27 holes to keep things moving. Although the clubhouse is basic , the friendly staff, decent conditions and central location makes this golf course a keeper!

Decent place to play!

The best thing about this course are the greens, which run true and were pretty quick. Yet, the greens, although unelevated, always seem to have a slant to them which made GIR's tough and putting difficult. Overall, the holes on the front nine are beside one another but with enough room to not feel crowded. The tee boxes and fairways were decent and the general layout of the holes was interesting. The traps defintely need work, however. In summary it has enough positives for me to play here again, especially for a GolfNow Hot Deal.

Solid golf course!

With a slope of 123 (white tees), this course is definitely challenging. Plan on a few extra shots to your typical score until you get the feel for it. Some water, some hills, some length, and some narrow landing areas are mixed in to the layout. Overall, though, most of the holes are fair but tough. I enjoy this course even though I can't seem to score well. Do your scoring on the front side because the back nine is no picnic. Very nice golf course!

Solid golf course!!

This course plays quite nicely. There's usually very few players on the course and the layout is very good. The holes are tough, but for the most part fair. While there are no "breath-taking" holes, most of them are interesting. Definitely worth playing. Slope rating from the white tees is 123, and the back nine can get you if your not careful.

Championship golf course!

If you're looking for a chamionship-quality golf course in the Poconos, Mount Airy has it all! Water comes into play quite a bit, especially on the front nine. The back nine is quite majestic with well trapped, elevated greens with scenery abound. This is definitely not a place for beginners (130 slope from the white tees), but even a novice will enjoy playing this lengthy, yet beautiful layout. Just bring plenty of golf balls and plan to be there a while since the pace of play is normally about 5 hours. The clubhouse is very classy as well, and the staff seem eager to please. Overall, a terrific course that will challenge even the best golfers.
