Wilkes-Barre Golf Club

Mountain Top, PA · 10 mi away

Blue Ridge Trail Golf Club is a public 27-hole facility in Mountain Top, Pennsylvania, carved out of the woods and valleys of northeastern Pennsylvania. Ault, Clark & Associates designed all three nines: Blue, Ridge and Trail. The first nine opened in 1992, the second in 1998 and the third in 2005. Any two nines are paired to make an 18-hole round, and the layout has no parallel fairways and five sets of tees. It plays as a daily-fee course with a private-club feel, and Golf Advisor golfers named it the No. 1 public course in Pennsylvania in 2016.

Blakeslee, PA · 17 mi away

Jack Frost National Golf Club sits atop Jack Frost Mountain in the Pocono Mountains near Blakeslee, Pennsylvania, at roughly 2,000 feet of elevation. Terry LaGree designed the course, which opened in the early 2000s and spans about 200 acres of natural oak forest. Despite its mountain setting, the course was built with wide fairways, clearly defined landing areas, and few blind shots, an intentional departure from many mountain layouts that rely on narrow corridors and uneven lies. The par-72 routing plays to roughly 7,250 yards from the championship tees, with five total tee options. The club is open to the public. It includes a two-tier driving range and short-game practice area, and is part of the broader Pocono golf trail that draws visitors from the Northeast.

Sugarloaf, PA · 21 mi away

Sugarloaf Golf Club is located off Golf Course Road in Sugarloaf, Pennsylvania, near the junction of Interstates 80 and 81 in the northeastern part of the state. Established in 1967, the course was designed by architect Geoffrey Cornish and offers a range of tee options from about 5,577 yards up to just over 7,000 yards from the championship markers. The layout is known locally for rolling fairways and scenic views across naturalized areas. Sugarloaf is a public course open to all golfers. It has a grass driving range and a free putting and chipping green, along with a renovated clubhouse and restaurant for use after a round.
