Skytop Golf Resort offers a scenic and well-maintained course — but unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. After an amazing weekend in the Poconos with 10 close friends, we wrapped up our trip with a round at the award-winning Skytop Golf Resort. While the course itself was beautiful, play was extremely slow — somewhat expected on a warm fall Sunday, but still frustrating. The real issue, however, began after the round. After dropping our clubs by our cars, we returned our carts and watched our friends finish the 18th hole — a short window during which my golf partner’s clubs were stolen from beside our group’s vehicles. We immediately reported the theft, but were met with an incredibly underwhelming response. Security, the pro shop, and even HR all reacted with apathy. No urgency, no concern, no effort to assist. In fact, the general attitude seemed to suggest it was somehow our fault. This blasé attitude was shocking, especially coming from a resort that claims its mission is to “make everyone who walks through our doors feel as though they are family.” There was nothing family-like or professional about how the situation was handled. For a resort charging premium prices, you'd expect at least a basic level of customer service and on-site security. But instead, we got indifference. To top it off, there were no food options at the turn — no hot dogs, no snacks, nothing. For a place of this caliber, that’s a big miss. Bottom line: The course may be worth playing for the views alone — but guard your gear like your life depends on it, and don’t expect any help if things go wrong. Because at Skytop, you’re apparently on your own.

This resort is beautiful they have so much to do outdoors, we stayed in the main building it was built in 1923 it’s absolutely beautiful they have everything you need for a relaxing getaway away. We went for Labor Day weekend which was packed with people with kids, not sure if that usual but they had kid entertainment everywhere. Our room was beautiful have to remember it’s historic but remodeled the bed is like sleeping on the clouds it was perfect. Restaurant were good just the waiters could be more attentive, they have a lounge bar in the library very nice good drinks. I would definitely return it was worth our 3 hour drive.
