This extremely hilly course is made even more difficult by its tree-lined fairways. There are no water hazards on the course, however, many sand bunkers have been incorporated throughout the design. You may only walk this course on weekdays. The course can be played free of charge by resort guests, except for the cart fees, which must be paid by everyone and at all times. Be sure to visit the dining room, Ruins Cafe, and the Lions Den Lounge for refreshments after enjoying a round of golf.

Pennsylvania Golf Courses Comments:
This course was built on hilly terrain, so expect some uneven lies in the fairly narrow fairways. Several fairways are doglegs, and most are tree lined. The most difficult hole is 2, a 357-yard, par 4, requiring a well-placed tee shot up a dogleg right fairway for any chance at making a birdie or par. All the holes are well bunkered, and water hazards come into play on eight holes.

This mountain style course has narrow fairways that are lined with thick woods and wetlands. The greens are fast and putt true. Hole 4, a 322-yard, par 4, is reachable off the tee for longer hitters, but everyone else needs to lay-up in front of wetlands, then carry the hazard to reach the small green.

This is a flat and narrow course with water and trees coming into play throughout the entire layout. The signature hole is 4, a 438-yard, par 4, which features a dogleg left fairway that requires the golfer to tee off from a heavily-wooded area and make an approach shot to an elevated green.

This course's greens are fast, sloped, and well manicured. The course winds through a green cathedral of trees and knolls. There are three extremely difficult holes. All three are well-bunkered and water hazards come into play on each one.

This is a trademark Jack Nicklaus course that is situated along the side of a mountain and spread out over 460 picturesque acres. The design includes numerous mature trees lining the fairways, which are relatively flat. The greens are fast and challenging to read. The signature hole is 7, a 158-yard, par 3, which features an elevated tee situated on top of a rock quarry. The hole requires a tee shot over a gully to a well-guarded, elevated green. The view looking back from the green is fantastic with an excellent view of the surrounding mountains, as well as the rock quarry that the tee box is perched upon.

Pennsylvania Golf Courses Comments:
The design of the course was inspired by the eighteen best golf holes in the country as selected by Sports Illustrated Magazine. It took eleven years to build, and it is superbly maintained. Although it's considered a challenging course, the high-handicap, shorter hitter can have just as satisfying a round as the expert. This is a tight course with water hazards and sand bunkers in play on every hole. The greens are fast and hard to read.

This resort offers three nine hole courses that are played in three eighteen hole combinations. These courses, which are located along the Delaware River and feature many water hazards incorporated into the designs, represent Tillinghast's first effort as a golf course designer. Every hole is distinct, but the courses play basically the same. Twenty-four of the twenty-seven holes are situated on an island. Each course is represented by some tree-lined fairways or links-style holes featuring numerous sand bunkers.

This hilly course is situated on top of the Pocono Mountains and offers several beautiful views of the countryside from most holes. The greens are fast, and the fairways are narrow.
