Buck Hill Golf Club

Loyalty to the soul of the game is a century-old tradition at the Buck Hill Golf Club. Opening its first nine holes in 1907, Buck Hill Falls established itself as the premier course in the Poconos. The eighteen holes added since have only increased its fame. As golfers play through the wooded, rolling, mountainside terrain, they experience the timeless design of legendary golf architects Donald Ross and Robert White. Ridge line silhouettes, relentless undulations, and classic subtleties punctuate this 27-hole course framed by forested mountains.

Great Bear Golf Club

Only one golf course architect could do justice to the natural beauty at Great Bear Golf Club - the one known worldwide as The Golden Bear, Jack Nicklaus. His 18-hole championship design demonstrates why he's been considered the master of his game for decades. Nicklaus has taken the natural advantages of the site and worked harmoniously with them to create a course that, besides it's play, is an experience in itself. Integrating the three lakes, several streams, wetlands, small bridges and rolling terrain, Nicklaus has created a course that presents itself differently to golfers of varying skill. For the experienced player, the course offers interesting challenges and pro tees that will bring out your strongest game. Yet it's also designed to be a course with the ultimate in playability, ensuring enjoyable round after round, revealing its intricacies and craftsmanship the more you play it. Great Bear is destined to be one of the Golden Bear's great ones.
