Great round in not the best weather

The course is in great shape considering recent weather. It sprinkled on and off on us for a while but it was still a great round. The staff is great, friendly,and accommodating. The amenities only suffer because of a recent fire that destroyed their wonderful clubhouse bar/restaurant. They do have plans for a temporary replacement and a rebuild.

Could be great

course was over booked pace of play was real slow. Majority of the bunkers are in terrible shape, however most of the rest of course looked fantastic.had to use every club in my bad, real fast greens. could use a decrease in price, definitely hop on any deals wouldn't recommend paying full price unless significant improvement on the bunkers is made.

Paupack hills

Nice course tucked away in the mountains outside of Scranton. Pave of play was fantastic! We played on a Sunday and granted there was only three of us we still finished in under four hours. Tough shots and lost too many balls but overall I’d give it a thumbs up!

Narrow fairways

The course is absolutely beautiful with views of Lake Wallenpaupack on multiple holes. The pro shop is currently operating out of a trailer after a fire destroyed the club house and restaurant. Zero amenities currently.

Tough course with a great layout

Played here in the dead of winter so conditions weren't ideal but the course was in pretty good shape overall. Greens run very true and are in good shape. Many of the bunkers were a disaster but I'm sure it was off season and they are more taken care of mid year. Tough layout with many uphill/downhill holes that turn to the left or right. Would definitely play here again if in town.

Making good progress

I was a member here for years. The course that was always the premier NEPA layout with stunning views had fallen into disrepair. The membership dues became to high for the value offered which is saying a lot given its pedigree. Even a mediocre Paupack Hills is worth playing. The new owner and superintendent have got things moving in the right direction. The greens are excellent, smooth and true. The fairways are like hitting off a carpet. The tee-boxes are better each time I play (please level #14 one of these days). The bunkers are a mess but I am told that project begins next year and the rough around the greens is still spotty, sometimes hardpan or tufts between hardpan which can be frustrating for just a slightly errant shot. Overall, I would say the course I fell in love with and joined 20 years ago is making a comeback. Keep it up!

Beautiful course. Not 5 star review this round:(

Been playing here every other golf game this season. Been exceptional from course development to staff. Staff lacking professionalism this round, don’t feel I was charged accordingly with my group. Asked questions but didn’t get proper answer. Need some training and they’ll be fine. Only reason not going 5 star today.

Fun Course in North Central PA!!

We were in the area and played Paupack Hills. Very enjoyable course in good condition. For a hilly course, it was very straight forward and no real sneaky holes. Exception may be #10 with drivable pond in front, but I birdied it so I liked that hole. We played mid week in October, so felt like we had the course to ourselves. Would definitely play the course again if in the area.

Coming into form

I was member here for several years and left a few years back because the conditions had deteriorated. I play at least once a year to see how it’s progressing with the new owners and I am happy to report it’s coming back after a few years with the new regime. The greens are excellent and the fairways are beautiful to hit off of. Tees are mostly back to form. The bunkers must be last on the list because they are not yet up to the level of the rest of the course and pretty much unplayable in some cases. Overall it made me excited to see this gem looking a lot more like her old self.
