About this course

The Executive Course at Eagle Rock Resort in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, represents Arnold Palmer's approach to accessible golf design in the Pocono Mountains region. Palmer, who maintained strong ties to Pennsylvania throughout his career, created this shorter layout as a complement to the resort's championship course, offering a more relaxed round while still incorporating his design principles of strategic shot-making and natural terrain integration. The course occupies rolling, wooded terrain characteristic of northeastern Pennsylvania's landscape, with elevation changes and tree-lined corridors that define individual holes. As an executive layout, it features a combination of par threes and shorter par fours, designed to be walkable and playable in less time than a regulation round while still requiring thoughtful club selection and accurate iron play. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural contours, with several holes playing uphill or downhill through the forested setting. Eagle Rock Resort developed as a four-season destination in the Poconos, and the Executive Course serves both resort guests and members seeking a quicker round or a venue for introducing newer players to the game. The layout provides an alternative to the longer North and South courses on the property, fitting into Palmer's broader portfolio of designs that emphasized making golf enjoyable and accessible across different skill levels. The course remains part of the resort's golf offerings in an area known more for its recreational amenities than championship golf.

Getting there

The journey to Eagle Rock Resort begins at either Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport, roughly forty minutes to the northeast, or Lehigh Valley International near Allentown, about an hour south - both offering straightforward access to Pennsylvania's Pocono Highlands. The drive climbs gently into forested ridgelines, trading the industrial valleys of northeastern Pennsylvania for the quiet, rolling terrain of the Poconos, where hardwood canopy and mountain air signal the transition into resort country. Eagle Rock sits tucked into this elevated landscape, a private retreat where the final approach winds through wooded hillsides before revealing the resort's lakeside setting and mountain-framed fairways.
