About this course

The Championship Course at Eagle Rock Resort in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, is an Arnold Palmer Signature Design that opened in the early 2000s as part of a larger residential and resort development in the Pocono Mountains region. Palmer's design work here reflects his characteristic approach of creating courses that balance challenge for skilled players with playability for resort guests and members of varying abilities. The routing takes advantage of the rolling, forested terrain typical of northeastern Pennsylvania's mountainous landscape. Elevation changes feature throughout the round, with fairways carved through mature hardwood forests and several holes offering views across the surrounding valleys. Water comes into play on multiple holes, and the design incorporates both strategic bunkering and natural rock outcroppings that give the course its name and visual character. As a resort facility, Eagle Rock's Championship Course serves both members and guests visiting the property's amenities, which include lodging, dining, and recreational facilities beyond golf. The course operates within the context of Pennsylvania's competitive golf market, where it competes with other Pocono-area resort courses for regional play from the Philadelphia, New York, and New Jersey metropolitan areas. The layout measures over 7,000 yards from the back tees, though multiple tee boxes allow for shorter and more accessible rounds. Conditioning and maintenance standards reflect its role as the centerpiece golf offering at a four-season mountain resort.

Getting there

The journey to Eagle Rock Resort begins at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport, roughly forty minutes northeast, though many guests opt for the slightly longer drive from Lehigh Valley International for broader connection options. The route winds through the rolling foothills of the Pocono Mountains, trading the industrial heritage of northeastern Pennsylvania for increasingly forested terrain as elevation builds. By the time the resort gates appear, the landscape has shifted entirely - dense hardwood canopies and rocky outcroppings signal arrival at a secluded mountain retreat where the Pocono Plateau meets carefully sculpted fairways.
