Huntsville Golf Club
Our spectacular golf course, designed by world-renowned course architect, Rees Jones, is the centerpiece of Huntsville Golf Club. Huntsville is committed to the time-honored traditions of the great game of golf. Our club offers both challenge and reward, to players of all skill levels, and is dedicated to the values that have kept this sport alive and thriving for generations. With a superbly crafted course maintained to championship standards, our Club is a true celebration of the appreciation and respect for the game we enjoy so well.
The 500 acres that Huntsville was built on was truly blessed by nature. Located in the foothills of the Pocono Mountains, it has forests, rolling fields, ravines, rocky ledges, streams and broad vistas across the grassy valleys. The resulting layout is natural, dramatic, and so impressive that Golfweek ranks it as a Top 100 course.

COURSE REVIEW BY: CHRIS MAVROS, GOLFADELPHIA
Course: Tangentially near Wilkes Barre in Lehman, Pennsylvania (generally a couple hours north west of Philadelphia) is Huntsville Golf Club. Opening in 1994 and designed by Rees Jones, Huntsville was built in the era where a barrage of new golf courses were opening across the country. While a lot of these new courses at that time centered around housing and real estate development, Huntsville did not. The club focused on golf, leaving the surroundings untouched. The hilly terrain makes its way through wooded areas, meadows, ponds and ridges, where play fluctuates between strategic and heroic. Rees incorporates the ground game as well, which breaks away from the typical forced carry aerial game that was prevalent at the time. Using the contours and slopes off the tee and near the green, there are several holes opening up an entirely separate array of shots. In these ways, Huntsville set itself apart and along with some other notable courses opening at the time, started a trend of moving back towards embracing the natural environment and incorporating it into the design....
