    The Poconos Club  - #10 - Not terribly long but narrow as hell with trees and homes on both sides

    With love in my heart, for now, I've got to walk this one back a bit…read more While they are trying their best to improve certain aspects of the operation by adding and pushing things like a new simulator and moving the pro shop to it's new (final?) home in the basement on the back side of the main building, what it comes down to for me is the course. There are still too many holes with tee boxes that have been in a modified location for over a year with seemingly no work having been done on where things are supposed to be (12 and 16). Certain greens like 10 are in bad shape - browned out and not fully mowed when we most recently played a few weeks ago. On the topic of mowing, that was semi-lacking as well. Some holes had fairways that more resembled light rough and the rough was well...rough. This course has a lot of character and is excellent if you're someone that likes scenery, a challenge but nothing so hard as to be intimidating, non-muni style courses where the holes just go back and forth because they sure as hell don't here. If you're coming on one of the deal days/times like Tuesday when they charge $30 or Saturday mid-day for a few hours when it's $40 I guess it's a good deal but right now to pay the full freight of $55 or even $70 is really a poor ROI for the playing public.

    Punishing golf course with a lot of character. Great value for the dollar. While the tee boxes…read morecould use some work and the distance between holes is rather long, this course is still a must play. The vistas from up top are to die for. I strongly recommend playing this course.

    Pocono Farms Country Club - #10 is tough.  #11 very much is not.  #12 is somewhere in the middle.

    (I'm just talking about the golf. I don't care about the restaurant, the pool, the HOA or living…read morehere.) It's a cliche when describing golf courses, but the best phrasing to describe PF would be tough, but fair. The first thing worth mentioning is that the course is in excellent condition. Very green with almost no brownout or dead spots anywhere on the course. Yes, there are areas on a few of the holes that are a bit wet and swampy even though it hasn't rained in a while, but that is few and far between. The below two links are for a brief hole by hole description and the scorecard. Playing from either the white or the blue (as I assume most people are), you see that the course is not exceptionally long. poconofarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/golf_course_power_po.pdf poconofarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/13115-130288-Pocono-Farms-Country-Club.pdf Around 6000 yards and everything is below 500 yards. Also, unlike most other Pocono courses, you really don't have any, what I'll call gimmick holes. Nothing like the super short par 3 at Pocono Manor or the extreme down elevation par 3 at Mount Airy or something where you're teeing off blind up a huge hill (Mount Airy #1). Aside from #8 which is a down sloped par 3, everything else here is fairly flat and straight forward. Sure, there are several hard right doglegs, but nothing that I would describe as impossible or too tough. And if you start losing too many balls, wait until you get the two holes which are up against the small driving range. Plenty of balls either in the easy to get to tree line or that are on the rough of the hole you are playing. We "found" over twenty balls in that area without trying too hard. Pace of play wasn't too bad. We had a threesome in front of us that started 45 minutes before us and we caught them at #5. Mercifully, they left after 9 and we went door to door in 3 hours and 30 minutes. While I certainly haven't played everything in the Pocono area, aside from maybe Great Bear, I can't think of another course that's in better shape right now coupled with a layout that while challenging, is not intimidating. No problem coming back anytime.

    Very rude desk staff. One lane for lap swimming and a teenager was standing in the middle impeding…read morethe lane. Plenty of other places in the pool to play. The lifeguard was not helpful when we asked for assistance. Then the teenagers mom had a meltdown and cursed in front of our young children. Was intimidating and kids were scared. Unpleasant experience and no longer interested in pursuing membership.

    Decent public course, a little steep for a public course. I recently played a golf tournament…read morethere and the food was sub-par. Nothing special. What really ticked me off was the fact that they charged me $36 for a 6 pack of High Noon. Now I understand that they are more expensive and they gotta turn a profit, but when you have 50 golfers playing in a tournament you know they are going to drink. That's just taking advantage of the situation. You figure they buy them for $2.25 a can. So they are making $3.75 a can. That's ridiculous. And they had the nerve to say we give a discount off the can price for 6 packs of beer only. Get lost. $72 for a 12 pack of High Noon when I just payed $85 to play your course and get fed shitty food. Just robbery and not cool etiquette.

    Great course, the one thing about the hills is that it's in the title. There are blind turns,…read moreupward shots and straights throughout the course that you have to be precise on where you are trying to hit the ball. The hills are quite challenging because you are hitting blindly if it's your first time here. The one thing about having fairways next to each other is that the ball from another course can get on the one you are playing on. Expect to duck when someone says "FORE!" Adding on, there seems to be a quicker pace of people in groups of four. [gnats will swarm you with no repellent]
