The East Course incorporates a mountain setting with rolling hills and plush tree-lined fairways that make play challenging and memorable. The East Course is a par-72 challenge that measures 6,565 yards from the back tees.

The West Course is a favorite of the long ball hitter. The 7,000-plus yard distance from the championship tee (5,236 yards for the ladies) gives the course just the right amount of challenge for players of every level.

Pocono Manor Golf Resor is listed on the National Historic Register of Historic Places. This resort provides countless scenic vistas of the surrounding countryside. Both courses are situated on a heavily-wooded mountain top and are home to an abundance of wild life, such as deer and wild turkey. According to "GOLF Magazine," both courses are "traditional inland layouts" that feature a densely wooded terrain and extremely small and well-sloped greens surrounded by grass bunkers. The East Course, built in 1902, is the older and more demanding design. The West Course plays longer, but since it was built on flatter terrain, it is considered by locals as more forgiving. Shot accuracy is essential off the tees on both courses because the fairways are tree lined.
