Country Club of the Poconos Municipal Golf Course ☆ Follow

Country Club of the Poconos Municipal Golf Course (now known as The Poconos Club) is an 18-hole public golf course located in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, set in the Pocono Mountains. Designed by Jim Fazio and opened in 1965, the course measures 5,900 yards and plays to a par 70. The layout features rolling terrain with dramatic elevation changes, mature woodlands, strategic water features including wetlands to carry, elevated greens, and well-placed sand bunkers throughout the property.

Situated on over 40 playable acres in the Allegheny Plateau region, the course is characterized by its scenic mountain setting and tranquil natural environment. The manageable length and design cater to golfers of all skill levels, with the course operating seasonally from April through November, weather permitting. Amenities include a pro shop and banquet facilities (Whispering Pines Banquet Hall) available for private events and tournaments.

The course was publicly owned and operated by Middle Smithfield Township before entering private ownership in August 2024. Under new management, it underwent revitalization efforts while maintaining its legacy as one of the region's notable public golf destinations. The course attracts approximately 9,000 rounds annually from both local golfers and visitors seeking mountain golf near New York and Philadelphia.
