I played this course back in the early 1980's, it's a far cry from what I played Monday, July 31, 2017. Condition was just average, no sand in bunkers, but found a lot of pebbles , sand was course and very little of it, the edges all over grown with weeds and grass. It's a far cry from what it used to be. The grass around the greens rough and unkept, it's nothing more that a run down muni-style course anymore. I guess the the money is invested in the casino. I won't play it again.

I'm a private club member from Florida, I found the course very average condition at best. Very good lay-out lots of elevation changes, but nothing to severe. I judge a course by condition of sand traps and care around the greens. The bunkers we bad ,most lacked sand and not edged or trimmed very good, the greens were ok. Most courses in the area of the Poconos I find that same, even the more notable ones. I don't want to mention names. Blue Shamrock is a good course for the area and great value.
