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.

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
