After a rough couple of years coming out to play golf and just looking out at a beautiful, well…read moremaintained golf course sort of brings back some feeling of normalcy for me. This place is rich with history and is run by a former PGA Pro with a great staff. You can set up golf lessons if you are a complete golf newbie to get a few tips to start or if you want to just hone your golf skills. It's not just a rich mans sport. Their prices for me are ridiculously affordable and reasonable. It's a 9 hole course and you can even rent carts if you don't feel like walking. I am always on the fence about walking the course but renting a cart makes so much more sense and fun :-). It's a great way to play a quick game when you are in the area or just spend the day playing golf.

Bang for your Buck. This was an okay 9 hole course. It was here since the 1900's and they went…read morebankrupt, so now, there's a new owner. The paths need so much help! Not even maintained. The other thing was, when I was teeing off #5, I got it in the brush and as I go to swing, a fat wood tick attempted to bite my legs. It was frantic to get on my body. I hit it so quick it only climbed on me. After that point on I was shook. Then... there's a lone star tick on the caddy car and I killed it with my shoe. So many ticks. Other then that great hole out. It needs some TLC, that will probably mean hundred thousand dollar renovation or some other ridiculous amount analytic people get.

I would totally avoid this place. The owner of the Golf…read moreCourse is very disrespectful. Especially to disabled people. I attempted to explain about a issue with the other golfers he blows it off and is totally rude. He has no respect for anyone he feels that he is above the law. He drives around the community like he owns everything. He feels that he owns the road and that customers don't matter. I would totally go else where to spend your money. This place the food is trash too you are better off going else where to eat. They do not even have breakfast for golfers that come out early. All my brothers and sisters that are Veterans stay far away from here. This guy is way out of the world. He shows no respect for customers that are patrons. AVOID the golf course and food. You can find way better deals at other golf courses. I have even seen the owner attempt to chase people at the community pool that ordered food for delivery. He takes no accountability for any of his actions. This place is really a waste of your money and time they don't sanitize the golf course even during Covid they were cleaning them properly

Some tasted as if they were pre- packaged and defrosted. Drinks had no alcohol if any in them. Malibu Bay Breezes tasted like fruit punch. Buffet was the same. Food over salted and overcooked.

They removed the food before you got to go back for seconds (not that my table was going for seconds). Would not recommend this venue.

I played here yesterday for my first time. The reason I chose to play here was because the golf…read morecourse architect was Tillinghast. Tillinghast designed many famous courses. The tee boxes were in a little bit of rough shape with respect to dirt patches and crabgrass, but the fairways were in pretty good shape. Although the greens were a little slow (recently aerated), they were fair. The greens fees during the week including a cart were very reasonable. There are some carries over water and it would take a round or two to learn the course a little better. It looks like the club house had a fire or was vandalized at some years ago, but parts have been rebuilt. I would actually give the course 3 1/2 stars if I knew how to give a half star on Yelp. I will put this on my list to play again even though it is a little more than 1 hour away from my home.

Weekday pricing seems to be in the upper 50s, don't ask about weekends as it's not worth it - 100ish, which compared to Pocono Club or a deal on a Golf Now course, is higher, but the conditions here are far nicer. One more thing about the pricing. When checking in today, the guy at the pro shop mentioned that they just aerated the greens yesterday and to "compensate" people for that, they were giving out cards good for a free round that expires at the end of the '27 season. BOGO? Sweet! The conditions overall were great. The threat of rain scared people away big time. While it was drizzling and misting, it was fine. Door to door in a little over three hours with not a care in the world. It's golf the way the Lord intended it to be. As for the aerated greens...some were a little choppy and sandy, but nothing was crazy and on most you couldn't even tell anything had been done. Overall, they were in great shape just like 99% of the course. There is one critique that this course falls short on in comparison to pretty much every other course on planet earth at this point in time. There are no yardage markers/sticks/no GPS in the cart giving you any sense of distance. On some holes it looks like they got out the office label maker and attached at random 241 to a sprinkler head, but that's only on some holes and even on the holes that have it, it's placed so random as to be irrelevant. Fwiw, this is not a course where water comes into the mix. There's a bit of a pond your play over on #10 but unless you duff the hell out of your drive, that's not a factor. The two big factors would be like every other Pocono course are the narrow fairways/trees and damn, does Jack love his sand. It's near everywhere on every hole and in multiple places on most of the holes. Maybe I'm a bit biased with today's BOGO round factor but either way, I've played enough places in this area to know that maybe this course isn't the best of the best, but if not, it's way up there and close. No problem coming back for free or paying. A+ (The below link has a superb set of slides detailing the entire course.) homepage.villanova.edu/joseph.bausch/images/albums/GreatBear/pages/page_1.html?
