It’s never too early to plan your next golf-centric vacation. For any group looking to enjoy stunning views and challenging holes, there’s no better place to book your trip than Woodloch Springs. Available to guests at Woodloch and The Lodge at Woodloch, two phenomenal Pocono Mountain resorts, this golf club has been nationally recognized for a reason. However, what sets our Poconos golf course and club apart from others? Keep reading to find out!

A Championship Level Course

Our course truly offers some of the best golfing in the Pocono Mountains and beyond. In fact, GOLF Magazine named the par 72 course one of the finest courses in the country. All holes have four sets of tees and alternating pine placements, which means golfers of all skill levels can find a setup that works for them. Our signature 14th hole requires a 220-yard carry-over, “Hells Gate Gorge,” carved from the mountainside by rushing water.

Ability to Improve Your Game

A golf getaway is also the perfect time to hone your skills. We have two incredible ways of doing just that. Our indoor golf simulator allows you to play nine or eighteen holes even if Mother Nature puts a damper on your plans. There are a number of courses available, so you can play spots you may otherwise never be able to.

One of the best ways to become a better golfer is with our golf academy. Ensure you are using the right clubs with our club fitting. Learn from one of our knowledgeable and talented golf pros with a private lesson.

Memorable Tournaments

If you’re trying to figure out when to plan your vacation, consider timing your stay to coincide with one of our tournaments. We host several charity outings, tournaments, clinics, and pro-ams all season long. Whether hoping to participate or simply be a spectator, these events are the perfect main attraction of any golf getaway.
