Golf at Pocono Manor

East at Golf at Pocono Manor is where generations of northeastern golfers first discovered the allure of mountain golf. Carved into the undulating terrain of the Pocono Mountains, the East course, originally designed by Donald Ross, presents a classic early 20th-century parkland layout. Mature trees frame generous fairways, but wayward shots are often punished severely, rewarding players who can plot their way around the course. While the East course hasn't hosted major championships, it has remained a popular destination for regional tournaments and club events. Its design offers a fair test for players of all skill levels, characterized by approachable green complexes and scenic views of the surrounding countryside. It’s a course where strategy, rather than brute force, often dictates success. Pocono Manor became a popular destination for destination golf trips from those in New York and Philadelphia looking to get away from the hustle of the cities, and it became known for its popular clubhouse and local fare. While the golf is certainly a focal point, many enjoy the resort and overnight accommodations.
