Sleepy Hollow Golf Course

“19 Holes”

Sleepy Hollow Golf Course, besides having a killer name, is one of the most popular courses in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The course features a shorter more open front nine, and a windy, scenic back 9…well 10. Yes I know it seems weird, but Sleepy Hollow has 19 holes. The course has daily leagues for both men and women, happy hour specials in the bar, and scenic NEPA backdrop of rolling hills, trees and farms.

Sleepy Hollow’s Front 9

Sleepy Hollow’s front 9 is more open than the back. The front nine features par of 34. The front 9 consists of 2 par 3’s and 7 par 4’s which makes a challenging yet do able round. Most fairways run parallel to each other with a small row of trees dividing the holes. Typically the grounds crew does a very nice job of keeping the fairways nicely trimmed and making the rough not too difficult to hit out of, which if you are an average golfer like me, you could appreciate.

My personal favorite hole on the front 9 is hole number 4. Sleepy’s hole number 4 sits nestled in back corner of the course enclosed by a row of trees and right next to a neat little pond, usually filled with duck and geese. This par 4 plays like a long par 3, so a birdie opportunity is always in play. As a local golfer, I can appreciate the difficulty that the front 9 offers and enjoy playing here as I can always leave without feeling too bad about my game.

Sleepy Hollow’s Back 10

Sleepy Hollow features a very scenic, windy and challenging back 10. Par for the back is 38 with the 19th hole making the course a solid 72 par. Sprinkled with 3 par 3’s, 6 par 4’s, and 1 par 5, the back 10 at Sleepy Hollow offer a challenging round of golf. Most of the holes run alongside forest and trees, so out of bounds hazards are abundant.

My personal favorite hole on the back 10 is hole number 13. Standing on the tee box of 13, your target is the fairway about 200 years straight ahead of you. From there, the hole takes a 90 degree left turn and your next shot is uphill to a small green with a large bond in front and small layup area. The hole is challenging when you take in to account that on both sides is dense forest and make it difficult if you miss the fairway with your drive.

Things to Know about Sleepy Hollow Golf Course:

Sleepy Hollow offer morning and evening leagues for all ages, including work leagues and leagues organized by a group of friends looking for competitive rounds. As of now, Sleepy Hollow opens at 10am daily with leagues teeing off at that time, so be prepared if you choose to go out when it opens. Most of the time they will let you tee off on either the front or back depending on where the league is playing.

Sleepy Hollow is also a great place to catch a game or enjoy a bite to eat before or after your round. They offer a full bar and restaurant for all their patrons. The course is located just up the road from Homestead Golf Course.

Sleepy Hollow is a fantastic course if you are looking to head for a relaxing and leisurely round of golf in NEPA. I highly recommend checking this course out.
