Rating 74.8

Nestled in the rolling hills of northeastern Pennsylvania, Blue Ridge Trail Golf Club offers 27 holes of championship golf that were carefully carved from woodlands and valleys. There are no parallel fairways throughout the entire course, giving each hole a secluded setting. The golf course offers plenty of variety, which has made it a popular venue for outings and tournaments. The holes are divided into nines that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The Blue/Ridge Course is both scenic and challenging. The courses are almost equal in length but the Blue nine is considered slightly more difficult, although the Ridge nine possesses two of the few water holes at the club. Mature trees frame most of the holes and there are also strategically placed bunkers along the greensides.

Great golf and outstanding value

We played the Blue and Ridge 9s. The Blue was in far better condition. With the high heat and lack of rain, all public courses are struggling with course conditions. Blue Ridge Trail is normally immaculate and right now I would call it good conditions but off it's normal. The greens were spongy in places. The views are lovely and the staff is friendly and helpful. Certainly an amazing value with rates far below the norm. Will be coming back for sure.

Always an enjoyable round at Blue Ridge

Was able to get a very good GolfNow deal for a 10:30 tee time and was able to use some of my rewards also. We were originally scheduled to play Trail then Blue but before we went out the starter found out Trail was a little backed up. He then just sent us out on Blue which was open a little before tee time. After Blue, Trail had cleared so they sent us there. Course was in good shape considering the recent weather and due to the staff's helpful, flexible scheduling, we had a very enjoyable round in less than 3.5 hours. These guys really know there business.

Blue Ridge Trail Golf Club

I was very happy that I decided to play here. Beautiful course with 3 separate 9 hole courses. The course is very scenic and offers a great challenge. The staff is very friendly and is very buttoned up at the first tee. It took 5 hours to play 18 which was the only negative. I wish a Ranger had been watching the slow play in front of us. I will play this course again when I'm back in the area.
