About this course

Lords Valley Country Club sits in the Pocono Mountains region of northeastern Pennsylvania, near the town of Hawley in Pike County. The course was designed by Norman H. Woods, a regional architect active in the mid-to-late twentieth century who worked primarily in Pennsylvania and neighboring states. Woods designed numerous courses for residential communities and private clubs throughout the region, typically working with the rolling, wooded terrain characteristic of the Poconos. The layout occupies land within a residential development, moving through forested corridors and across moderate elevation changes typical of the Pocono plateau. The routing takes advantage of natural topography, with holes playing through stands of hardwoods and evergreens. Water features, likely in the form of ponds or streams common to the area's glacial landscape, come into play on several holes. The course serves primarily as an amenity for the Lords Valley community, functioning as a semi-private facility that balances member play with limited outside access. The setting reflects the broader character of Pocono golf, where courses are carved from dense woodland and play in relative seclusion. Elevation changes and tree-lined fairways define the strategic demands, with accuracy often valued over distance. The club operates seasonally, as is standard for courses at this elevation in Pennsylvania, typically opening in spring and closing before winter weather arrives in the mountains.
