I have been playing golf for over 40 years and have never been so rudely treated and told I could leave if I didn't like it. The "pro" was a pompous peacock strutting around like he was the only game in town. Although the course was decent, I will make it a point never to play there again!

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?

We got to enjoy the cocktail hour outside. Imagine knocking back delicious beverages while smoking a cigarette and reminiscing with your best friends (and your former choir director - WHAT?!?). The food was delicious. The steak that I had was probably the best I've ever tasted in my LIFE. Eric agreed with me, as did a few others. Those of us who went to college together were all seated in this weird patio-ish room to the side of where the main reception was. We had our own bartender! I believe this was all done on purpose. Keep the fellow alumni in the back, near the booze, in a room we can lock them in if they get too rowdy! :) Everything about this place was classy and gorgeous. The decor, the grounds, the food. OK, maybe not EVERYTHING was classy...I mean, we were a bunch of U of S alumni with unlimited access to liquor!

Apparently every so often Pinecrest will put out an offer on GroupGolfer. While I play, I'm not hardcore as my one co-worker is and he says that when this place is on there, they sell very fast and they sell out. He had an extra one that was close to expiring so I got the call. Let me throw in that price wise, I have no idea what these actually cost for a round here. He told me $30 was good. Whether he took a bath on that or not, no clue. The course itself, especially considering the complete lack of rain that has fallen this year, is overall in very good shape. Mostly very green, lush and well manicured. The course's gimmick is that the 18 holes are evenly split between par 3-4-5. IMHO, the key is not gripping it and ripping it, but having a highly measured approach. Yes, you have more than your fair share of par 5s (hole #1 starts with a 500+ yard fiver), but the course also has plenty of doglegs, blind greens from the tee, large areas in the fairway of vegetation which really make you think about trying to go for it versus applying a more thoughtful strategy. If this were drums, do you want to be Steve Gadd playing on Steely Dan's Aja or someone just bashing away with clubs for hands & feet? If you try #2 you will lose a crap ton of balls. Although to be fair, unless you're fairly straight (lots of trees/narrow fairways) you're losing some balls here either way. I can't say how many I lost, but I found 16 without trying too hard. If you get the chance, this is a nice one. Sure as hell tough, but very scenic and very well maintained. You could do much worse. www.pinecrestlakegolfclub.com/golf-course/picture-gallery#gallery052c05949a-4
