Fernwood Golf Course
High altitudes don’t necessarily correlate to high scores with today’s feature: $19 for 18 Holes with Cart at Fernwood Golf Course in East Stroudsburg ($43 Value. Good Any Time until July 1, 2015!)
One of the most picturesque landscapes in the country, the Pocono Mountains make for the perfect backdrop for a variety of outdoor activities. With today’s featured course at Fernwood Resort, you’ll get the opportunity to test your game on one of the most incredibly scenic venues in the area. A 68.8/125 course/slope-rated layout, this par-71 not only shows off a pretty face; it's also one of the most enjoyable rounds you'll play all summer.
Though his name is attached to several excellent courses in the United States, course architect Nicolas Psiahas’ genius really comes through at Fernwood. The course doesn’t play overly long — about 6,200 yards from the back tees — but challenge definitely lurks around every corner. The layout is tight and concise, and requires accurate shots from tee to green as you meander your way through the beautiful mountain scenery. The greens, too, offer a unique challenge, with moderate-to-fast speeds and frequent undulation.
Part of the incredible Fernwood Resort (one of the finest vacation destinations in the Poconos) the course comes with an incredible set of amenities that you’d expect from any great course. Practice makes perfect and Fernwood gives you plenty of opportunity to get your game in shape with the unique addition of a full practice hole, allowing you to test the conditions of the course before you have to mark your scorecard.
The pro shop is one of the best in the area and carries the latest equipment and apparel from all of golf’s biggest brands. After your round, Wintergreen’s Patio Grill offers the perfect atmosphere and menu to toast your scores with refreshing drinks and delicious eats.
Whether you’re coming for the golf course or taking advantage of all that the resort has to offer, Fernwood Resort has it all, eagerly waiting for your arrival.
