The Inn At Pocono Manor - East Course

About
The Inn at Pocono Manor offers two championship golf courses, conveniently located less than two hours from New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia. Surrounded by the beauty of the Poconos, the inn has earned a spot on the National Registry of Historic Places. George Fazio designed the West Course, and the East Course was Donald Ross' creation. The East Course, the original layout, has hosted a number of legendary players, including Arnold Palmer and Sam Snead, since 1912. Ross carefully sculpted the mountainous landscape to create a course that is both challenging and memorable. It is shorter and tighter than the other course but they are equal in level of difficulty. The golf course is defined by the interesting water hazards that come into play on several holes, but the scenic views are also a draw.

Great along practice course
Course not in the best shape yet. Let’s wait until the season starts to judge.
Play it ONCE...
Very interesting old mountain course. A very long par 4 (490 yds), a very short par 3 (77 yds), otherwise about what you'd expect. Play it once to say you played a Donald Ross course.
HOWEVER, you'll never have a level lie, at least half the tee shots are completely blind (a couple will utterly confuse you), and you'll hit seemingly great tee shots that will run off the fairways into trouble.
I played on a Sunday afternoon, but even at that standard, the pace was horrific.
I was looking forward to playing here a second time (played it two years ago), but it's out of my system and I doubt that I'll do it again.
Ladies
Great course but some of the tee boxes for ladies are in need of improvement..some right in middle of fairway. And the cart paths are in very bad shape! Be careful.
Soggy
I'm surprised that they let us play. There was a light rain when we played, but there was standing water on the majority of the greens with the cups full of water. It wasn't even cart path only. This is an old historic course so I won't give it a terrible review. I'll be back, but in dryer weather.
Fun course
The course has a couple of funky holes, but don’t they all. Most of the holes are out in the woods, no houses and no car traffic so it’s very peaceful,also they must do the ground work early as there’s no mowers or leave blowers to bother
I would play here again and again,very enjoyable!
Enjoyable round
We enjoyed playing at this course. The conditions were good as is the layout. There are a couple of funky holes and it helped that we had played here before. Sadly the pace was quite slow on the back, with three groups actually waiting on one hole. Still… I would recommend this course to play and when visiting this area we will play again.
5 Hour Monday midday round
Teed off at 11:30 and finished at 4:30 on a non holiday Monday. Waited on every tee box. My wife and I like this course but 5 hours is a long time for a non weekend round of golf.
Very nice course
The course is in very good shape.the staff was friendly and the started went above and beyond especially considering it was our first time. He offered great advice and direction on what to look for and how to attack the course. Even had a hand out giving guidance on the uniqueness of the course. Had a great time and would definitely recommend this course to friends.
