Since opening in 1912, Pocono Manors East course has been host
to many of the legends of golf. Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer, Tommy Bolt,
Gene Littler, Doug Ford, Jackie Burke and Jerry Barber are just some
of the famous players who have tested their skills here at the Manor.
Art Wall Jr., while representing Pocono Manor as our touring professional,
won the Masters and was named the PGA player of the year in 1959.
Pocono Manor has hosted players from the Senior Tour, the LPGA, and
was one of the featured homes of televisions All Star
Golf with Jimmy Demaret in the 1960s.
This resort features two regulation eighteen hole courses. 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. This
course has been the site of both Senior and LPGA Tour events. 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.
