A true gem 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 11, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great balance of open and wooded holes, as well as left, right, and straight shots. Good tee signs and directional signage between holes.

Cons:

Natural tees

Other Thoughts:

Course #39Rock Mountain Bible Camp South Gibson Pennsylvania This is the third church camp course that I've played this year and all three were outstanding. Discs are available for loan at the campsite check in. Day use fee is $5 and it is totally worth every penny. Good signage makes it easy to navigate the course and the course maps on the scorecards help too. Natural tees play to Innova Discatcher targets. Most holes have two tee areas Blue long and Red Short. This course has a good balance of long and short holes from both sets of tees. Dramatic elevation changes add to the challenge. The lake comes into play on a couple holes most significantly on Blue five (loaner disc users must play Red fives tee) lots of open well mowed fairways with several holes playing through some tightly wooded areas. Natural and man made features add to the beauty, including a laid stone wall that winds through a few holes.

Rocking the Poconos 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 1, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Private course with 18 DisCatcher baskets and two tees on most holes provides good challenge for rec to advanced level players. The course is quite scenic and has tremendous variety playing downhill and uphill shots, through the woods and open and over the ravine and pond. Overall the design and build are very well done and utilized all the great and unique features of the property. The course was very well manicured and didn't notice much underbrush in the woods. Signage and navigation is pretty good here. Two loops of 9 holes back to parking lot.

Cons:

The decked tees(about half) while they look nice and functional are actually quite slippery, I played in light rain and it was like ice, so I just tee'd off next to them. The rest of the tees are natural, some of which are a bit rough. I talked to the camp director about the tee issues and he said they will be addressed.

Hole 4's fairway was a giant puddle most the way.

Other Thoughts:

Driving in the neighborhood to Rock Mountain I was awestruck by the beauty here, the homes with pristine landscaping and picturesque vista views of the Poconos is simply stunning! I was also terrified on a couple of the dirt/gravel roads going up and down mountains in the rain, but proved to be well worth the effort!

I'd rate Rock Mountain 3.75 if I could. The variety and scenery is awesome! The course is a little on the short side except for a couple monster holes and the tee issues kept me from going to a 4 rating. It be nice if some of the shorter holes could have longer tees or basket placements(holes 3, 6, 10, 11 and 13). That's just my personal preference, but overall this is a fantastic course!
