Pocono Farms is an immaculate private club that we are partnered with to allow guests of The Swiftwater exclusive access. This course, designed by the Poconos own Art Wall Jr., offers so much to its visitors. On the 18-hole course, you will experience a range of difficulties. The first nine holes will take you near a glacier lake and beautiful scenery of woodlands. Then, the other nine holes present a great challenge, with contoured greens. Ask our dedicated concierge to help get you set up for this guest- and resident-only experience!
