Woodloch | One of the Best Pocono Mountain Golf Resorts

People on a course at one of the best Pocono Mountains golf resorts.

It’s never too early to plan your next golf-centric vacation. For any group looking to enjoy stunning views and challenging holes, there’s no better place to book your trip than Woodloch Springs. Available to guests at Woodloch and The Lodge at Woodloch, two phenomenal Pocono Mountain resorts, this golf club has been nationally recognized for a reason. However, what sets our Poconos golf course and club apart from others? Keep reading to find out!

A Championship Level Course

Our course truly offers some of the best golfing in the Pocono Mountains and beyond. In fact, GOLF Magazine named the par 72 course one of the finest courses in the country. All holes have four sets of tees and alternating pine placements, which means golfers of all skill levels can find a setup that works for them. Our signature 14th hole requires a 220-yard carry-over, “Hells Gate Gorge,” carved from the mountainside by rushing water.

Ability to Improve Your Game

A golf getaway is also the perfect time to hone your skills. We have two incredible ways of doing just that. Our indoor golf simulator allows you to play nine or eighteen holes even if Mother Nature puts a damper on your plans. There are a number of courses available, so you can play spots you may otherwise never be able to.

One of the best ways to become a better golfer is with our golf academy. Ensure you are using the right clubs with our club fitting. Learn from one of our knowledgeable and talented golf pros with a private lesson.

Memorable Tournaments

If you’re trying to figure out when to plan your vacation, consider timing your stay to coincide with one of our tournaments. We host several charity outings, tournaments, clinics, and pro-ams all season long. Whether hoping to participate or simply be a spectator, these events are the perfect main attraction of any golf getaway.

The Top 3 Pocono Golf Courses

As we swiftly approach summer’s emergence here at Woodloch Resort, we cannot help but daydream of golden days spent surveying the prettiest Pocono golf courses. Whether you make a habit of sinking birdie putts or you often shriek, “Fore,” seconds after each drive, you’ll undoubtedly find something to love about the rolling forestry of the Pocono Mountains during your stay. It’s only a matter of weeks before the top-rated Pocono golf courses gleefully open their doors, effectively ushering in thousands of golfers, many of which from nearby New York City and Philadelphia.

Find Your Swing at These 3 Pocono Golf Courses

While we’re certainly biased toward the sprawling, awe-inspiring course design at Woodloch Springs, we also appreciate the fine work from several of the area’s premier country clubs. Our growing team of golf professionals has played 18 holes at each of the most popular Pocono golf courses, and we believe that these three options truly encapsulate the visual allure of the region.

Woodloch Springs

Because Woodloch was recently named USA Today’s “Best Family Resort in America,” it’s easy to overlook the fact that we also boast the top-reviewed 18-hole course in the region. This 1992 Rocky Roquemore design is equally a visual delight and a smile-inducing challenge. Woodloch Springs holds a 4.8 rating on Golf Advisor and a near-perfect overall recommendation grade. Golfers love this award-winning, 6,600-yard marvel because it snakes through the heart of the Poconos. The layout features upland meadows, pristine wetlands, and towering pines along with immaculate greens and fairways.

Lords Valley Country Club

Lords Valley Country Club is, as you might expect, a private institution. That being said, seemingly every golfer in the area knows someone with a membership. Not a far drive from Woodloch Springs, it is especially nice to play during autumn’s peak. What was once known as “Camp Hemlock” in the 1920s is now a scenic, 18-hole course that spans 145 wooded and waterfront acres.

Honesdale Golf Club

Honesdale Golf Club remains one of the more underrated Pocono golf courses because it doesn’t sit at the foothills of gently rolling mountains. However, Honesdale is one of the oldest clubs in Pennsylvania; they’re set to celebrate 120 years this summer. The course’s history seeps through every acre, and the pace of play is idyllic. Again, membership is required so don’t forget to reach out to your network of golfers to book a tee time.

Pocono Mountain Resorts

After quelling 18 holes at one of the best Pocono golf courses, enjoy a gourmet dinner inside The Grille Room and return to your course-side vacation rental for a few hours of late-night relaxation. Woodloch Resort, in combination with its sister property The Lodge at Woodloch, is one of the premier four-season destinations in North America. To learn more about our “stay and play” Pocono golf packages, please visit us online at Woodloch.com.

A “Course” in Excellence

A “Course” in Excellence

The Pocono Mountains course you’ve never heard of may be the best around…

TEE IT UP

In 1989, the grand plans were set to expand the Woodloch footprint. Based on years of requests from guests, the need for a golf course was apparent. It was to be an extension of the Woodloch brand–quality facilities, unrivaled service, a sense of family, and a tradition of excellence. Rocky Roquemore, a prolific award-winning international course architect was chosen to sculpt the mountain links, and in three short years the course at Woodloch Springs was ready. The project was not exclusively to serve as an amenity of the resort, but to thrive as its own destination and ultimately as a private community.

UNPARALLELED GOLF

Amidst a challenging mountainous backdrop, this course meanders its 18 championship style holes through 6,579 yards of fern-carpeted forest providing a unique playing experience darted with inspirational views. It’s also a challenge. Golf wouldn’t really be that special if it were easy, right?

The signature hole remains the 14th, a lengthy, challenging par five, which should be a six, that features a dramatic 220-yard carry across “Hells Gate Gorge.” It also has several elevation and route changes along its 577 u-shaped yards. However it is hole three which poses the most challenges with a 190 yard layup to the edge of a 45 foot drop off with a two-tier undulating green still 250 more yards away. Luckily, you’re rewarded with an arrow-straight, wide-green par three as your next stop.

THE GOLF ACADEMY

In concert with the Woodloch Sports Complex, the Woodloch Golf Performance Academy will help any golfer explore and understand the athletic relationship between their golf bodies and their swing (just like the pros) while maximizing their swing’s efficiency, mental performance, equipment setup and golf fitness. The PGA and certified fitness instructors and biomechanics coaches assess your game, develop a custom practice programfor you and unlock your potential as a player. Regardless of your goals or skill level, your team of coaches wants to help you understand and enjoy the game of golf to the fullest.

TIME TO DINE

There are two splendid dining options within steps of Woodloch Springs’ 18th hole: The Overlook Restaurant and The Grille Room.

The Overlook has floor-to-ceiling windows that peer toward the scenic 18th hole. Treat yourself to a center cut eight-ounce fi let mignon, lamb chops, or Icelandic cod after a particularly terrific round of Poconos golf. The Grille Room, utilizes the same farm-to-table menu, but the dining experience itself is more casual. The culinary team at Woodloch Springs also makes a delicious chicken cordon bleu sandwich, tuna poke salad, and weekend prime rib. And if you didn’t hear, after your round, your first beer is only a buck!

IT’S STILL ABOUT FAMILY

Home to one of US Kids Golf Top 50 Professionals, the course is designed for the avid golfer yet very accommodating to little beginners. With family friendly
golf carts available, kids tees, an excellent line of kids equipment and apparel, the standout is the kids golf clinic which takes young learners on a fun and interactive golf journey.
