CRICKET HILL GOLF COURSE

The Donald Ross-influenced routing through Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains delivers legitimate championship golf at municipal prices, with elevation changes that turn mid-irons into wedges and wedges into mid-irons. The par-4 14th plunges 80 feet from tee to green, creating one of the most exhilarating approach shots in the Northeast, while the uphill par-5 18th tests every club in your bag. This is mountain golf that rewards course management over brute force, where local knowledge of how the ball flies in thin air separates the wheat from the chaff.
