Lake Lorain Golf Course

About this course
Lake Lorain Golf Course sits in the rural northeast corner of Pennsylvania, near the village of Poyntelle in Wayne County. The region is characterized by rolling woodlands and small lakes, part of the Pocono Mountains' northern fringe. The course occupies terrain typical of this area, with elevation changes and tree-lined fairways that define play through much of the round. The layout reflects mid-twentieth-century design sensibilities common to rural Pennsylvania courses, where routing follows natural contours and existing vegetation shapes strategy. Players encounter a mix of hole lengths and directional variety, with doglegs and elevation shifts creating visual interest. Water features, including the namesake lake, come into play on select holes, adding hazard considerations to club selection and approach angles. Lake Lorain serves primarily as a public-access facility for the local community and visitors to the Pocono region. The course provides straightforward golf in a quiet, wooded setting, appealing to those seeking an unpretentious round away from more heavily trafficked destinations. Conditioning and amenities reflect its role as a regional recreational venue rather than a championship test or resort centerpiece.
