How's it playing today?
Eighteen holes through the Poconos.
A par-71 layout that bends with the terrain — wooded fairways, four tees on every hole, and a back nine that finishes back-to-back par 3s before a risk/reward closer.
One last decision.
Carry the spillway and you've got a short approach to a tightly guarded green. The safe drive is the left center — that leaves a 160 in to the middle.
Avoid the left greenside bunker either way. It's the cheapest stroke on the back nine.
First of back-to-back threes.
Plays 20 yards shorter than the card from an elevated tee. The green is shallow and the breaks are subtle — and the wind always has an opinion.
Cut the corner — or don't.
Gamblers may try to cut the corner. The safe drive is aimed at the far-left fairway bunker. Miss this green left and a bogey is on the card.
Mind the oak.
A tee shot down the outside is ideal — but avoid the big oak tree. The safe approach is to the center of the green.
A Fazio course, brought back.
Founded in 1966 on the south side of Lake Wallenpaupack — eighteen holes routed by George and Tom Fazio, with views of two lakes from the tee box.
By the fall of 2023 the course had gone quiet. The previous owner had walked away, the equipment shed was being cleared out, and a Fazio routing was on its way to disappearing.
It came back the next spring under Greg Johnson and 75 neighbors who put their names down before the first mower turned over. The first full season delivered more than fifteen thousand rounds. What you find here today is a course that earned its way back.
