Jack Frost

The skiing is great here, I can’t take that away. Great lifts, great hills, the snow was mediocre. But the food is an experience I will never forgive them for. We couldn’t find any tables outside by the cafeteria, so we decided to place a reservation at the Frosty Toboggan, the grill there. Worst decision ever. The wait was 25 minutes for a seat which wasn’t so bad especially in the very tight area. We were a little disappointed in the food options; there were burgers and little else. But at least we had a place to sit. We placed our orders and waited for more than an hour. When the food finally came out after what felt like years of waiting, the orders were mixed up and the food was room temperature. My burger was fine, but it probably tasted so good because I had been waiting for so long. My sister ordered guacamole on hers and instead they but a barely mashed avocado. Our family friends found their burgers to be very hard because they didn’t ask us how we wanted our burgers cooked. The chips (yes chips came with the burgers not fries) were soggy. Prices were a little high but not awful. Overall I would recommend just bringing your own food or even better eating before you come skiing.

The layout and course conditions are both quite good. The only thing holding me back from a 5 star rating is the cost. There are comparable golf courses in the area with better amenities (e.g., clubhouse) that are easily half the price. Aside from that, if you enjoy a challenging round of golf, give this course a try.

This course was recommended to me by a local golf bro. I had the opportunity to play it for the first time and was very pleasantly surprised. It’s in excellent condition and the layout is first rate. I highly recommend it.

I feel that Jack Frost National lives up to its name. There’s a nice grass practice range, the tee boxes are always perfect and the fairways very good. Staff are nice and the rangers are diligent about keeping up the pace of play. Don’t be surprised to see a ranger stop near you and note your pace of play on his clip board.
The layout is fun and there are more blind shots and uneven lies than their Web site leads you to believe. To position yourself properly, you must know the course. Keep it in the fairway or you may very easily lose your ball in the dense PA woods.
As most people who have played this course will probably tell you, the greens are tough and a lot of shots can be given up on them. They roll true, but are very fast, undulating and with tough, almost unfair pin placements. 3 putts are a common sight on this course.
One last note — be careful with Google maps. Their address is listed as Clubhouse Dr, in Blakeslee, PA when you search via Google, but that will take you to a swim club 15 miles away!

Love this track. 3^rd year in a row coming back. Stadium style course with amazing views. Great staff. Highly recommend it.

This is the best public access golf course in the Poconos. I have been playing here for the past few years when we take our family vacation in Pocono Pines. The course is beautiful and the conditions will rival the nicest private courses. One of the best features of this course is that each hole is different and is secluded from any other hole on the golf course.
The staff is very friendly and the cost is very affordable. By the way, we also played Great Bear two days later and the condition of the course, the layout, the friendliness of the staff and the price were inferior to Jack Frost National.

Awesome course! The staff was friendly, made you feel like you were a friend.
