As many others have said, if there is one word that you could use to describe Blue Ridge it would…read morebe value and honestly, in this area of courses, that's rare. Plenty of Pocono area courses either have bloated pricing or the double-whammy of bloated pricing combined with an older course that has been questionably maintained. Here, none of the above apply. IME, your best play is to go to the website and make a tee-time. The site does not accept payment in advance. Just a tee-time. $35 with no additional taxes or fees after 3pm on a weekday here is a steal. blueridgetrail.com/book-a-tee-time/ Large enough parking lot on site and then you head to the small pro shop to pay. After that, it's over to the cart area, load up and find out where you're playing. Yep, Blue Ridge consists of three nine hole courses and to manage flow, they'll send you where they feel it's best since all carts are GPS monitored, Private Eyes are indeed watching you....and everyone else too. The one small downside to this approach. The pace of play is a bit slower than what it should be. Yes, the pro shop does watch everything and yes, your cart will start showing passive-aggressive notes on the screen if you are behind in pace of play but that's highly relative since overall, you're only as good as what's in front of you and again, they pack the tee-times tight. We played Blue and Ridge which from the whites equals about 6200 yards. Overall beautiful conditions and nice greens even which are fair but tough to make any kind of putts on. Highly picturesque surroundings and next to no brown outs or shit spots on the fairways. A few of the tee boxes were a bit rough (mostly the par 3's) but nothing crazy. Door to door in about 4 hours and 45 minutes for a weekday afternoon. That's a bit slower than I like to play but it is what it is. This is also a course where you will be paired with other people if your party is less than 4. Again, they pack the tee times tight. Overall this place is very nice on it's own and compared to some of the neighboring courses in the area. No problem coming back here in the future. 4.5 rounding up.

(Maybe at some point I'll update with pictures to make this a bit more well-rounded, but for now,…read morethis is good enough.) Nothing I love more in life than being the contrarian and finding/enjoying the quirky things that few others do. In terms of a local golf course, Willow Brook checks all of the boxes. The course is located on/shares space with a horse farm. Back in the day it was a traditional 18 hole course, but the configuration has been modified to 9 with the rest of the land being turned into a housing development that is still actively being built by the 8th green & 9th tee. If you look at the map on Yelp, which is of course nicked from Google, it does a poor job explaining the simple basic of how you even get to the course unless you go to the satellite tab. You're either heading down Howertown Road and then going on to at times, basically a single lane drive that snakes through some trees and past a few homes to the parking area or you can ignore the road closed signs on Willowbrook Road and enter via Sappho Cody Lane. The parking is on some grass by a horse competition area. From there you walk down Joe Cody Lane to the shack where you pay. A few randoms: Current hours are 10-4 daily. $20 for 9 or $30 for 18 and it's cash only - all walk with no carts. Not uncommon to find the shack where you're supposed to pay be unmanned with a note taped to one of the sliding glass doors to find them on the course and pay then. So far, I paid once when the guy stopped to say hello as he was mowing the fairway grass and the other time a different guy was doing some work on the green at #4. Three par 3's that start in the 130 yard range up to the two par 5's that go to the mid to upper 400's. Nothing is terribly difficult if you can, lol, keep it relatively straight. The thing I love more than anything is the angle of them not having carts because that keeps the crowds a-way and that is what I'm looking for. The two times I've been here, counting myself, I haven't seen ten people in total out playing (chef's kiss on that one). The course is what you would expect for the price. I'm no pro so I'm not looking for much past a cheap price. To me the fairways and greens are in good enough shape. The only thing they gave up on years ago are the sand traps. They're basically concrete slabs with vegetation growing in them. Also, if you're willing to dig around a bit, plenty of balls in the tall grass and by the creek area that people gave up on. For everyone one I lose, I usually find two. Yeah, this place is odd and quirky and some will be turned off by the no carts but to me, it's beautiful and quiet. As long as the crowds don't suddenly start swarming here during the week, I'm all in for the foreseeable future. willowbrook9.com/

This course could be the best of the public courses in the area and at one time it was. Unfortunately the quality has diminished recently, especially in 2018.

Hopefully the city will invest more time and money to improve this PGA style golf course and return it to it's previous glory !
