Acclaimed 27-Hole Golf Course

In 1907, famed golf course architect and first PGA president Robert White designed the first nine of what would later be Buck Hill’s 27 holes along an immensely open and hilly stretch of the Poconos mountainside. Nearly 25 years later, we contracted another accomplished golfer and course designer, Donald Ross, to add the final 18 holes. Using his modus operandi of attention to detail and an appeal to a natural aesthetic, Ross integrated two more nine-hole courses into our existing layout. For generations, Buck Hill Golf Club members have enjoyed each course for its unmatched beauty and varied challenges.

Explore the Course
As you play through the wooded, rolling mountainside terrain, you will experience the timeless design of legendary architects Donald Ross and Robert White.

Our acclaimed 27-hole golf course consists of three nine-hole courses:
1. White Course: The front nine of Donald Ross’s 18, the 36-par White Course is our longest and flattest course, weaving through our charming golf cottage community.
2. Red Course: Robert White’s masterful design, the Red Course is our most open and hilly. It’s also our shortest, but it boasts some of our most difficult par 4s.
3. Blue Course: Embracing the other courses’ choice features, Ross merged the hilliness of the Red with the length of the White to create a compact course with notably elevated greens and tees. Our iconic Swarthmore Shelter appears on the Blue Course.
With stunning views of dense woods and mountain silhouettes, Buck Hill Golf Club has provided members of Buck Hill Falls with a one-of-a-kind recreational experience for generations. A retreat from the ordinary, our highly sought after 27-hole course offers abundant opportunities to seek out a new challenge or enjoy a relaxing game.

White Course
Course Architect: Donald Ross
- White Tees 3239 Par 36
- Red Tees 2701 Par 36
The White Course, Donald Ross’ front nine in his 18 hole design, is the longest and flattest of the 3 nines and it winds through our beautiful golf cottage community. Number 2 is a great par 5, with the meandering Griscom Run Creek ready to gobble up an errant ball. Speaking of Griscom Run, it winds to the left of number 9, a 199 yd downhill signature par 3 with great views of the mountains behind the green, our signature hole on the White 9.
Blue Course
Course Architect: Donald Ross
- White Tees 3029 Par 36
- Red Tees 2597 Par 36
Longer than the Red with more hills than the White, the Blue Course is a hybrid of those nines. Elevated greens and tees are an earmark of the Blue. Treelined fairways make the Blue a tighter course, and the signature par 5, 4 Blue, is a roller coaster ride capped off by the beautiful Swarthmore Gazebo set by the green. Additionally, 7 Blue is a typical Ross par 3, set over a massive hump and a deep swale in front of the green.
Red Course
Course Architect: Robert White
- White Tees 2823 Par 34
- Red Tees 2480 Par 36
The Red Course is the most open and the most hilly of our 3 nines. Tremendous views abound, as you look upon the surrounding mountains and beautiful golf cottages set across the valley. A flat lie is hard to come by on the Red, sidehill lies abound. The course is shorter, with 3 par 3s and a short par 5, but it has a set of 4 of the most difficult par 4s on the entire course.
