Thinking About Living in Buck Hill Falls?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Buck Hill Falls and the surrounding The Poconos golf market.
Buck Hill Falls is a historic private resort community in Barrett Township, Monroe County, built around a 27-hole course originally designed by Donald Ross and Robert White. Far from a closure/defunct case -- a risk the research brief specifically flagged given several other Poconos resort ownership changes in recent years -- Buck Hill Falls completed a Rees Jones-led restoration of the course in 2022, timed to the centennial of its Donald Ross-era design, a real and recent capital-investment signal. The club describes itself directly on its own site as 'a private residential golf community': membership and community are organizationally unified, with resident property owners called 'Cottagers' and a formal Non-Resident Membership track requiring sponsorship by a current Cottager plus an initiation fee. The 4,500-acre property also includes a ten-court Har-Tru tennis center, an Olympic-size outdoor pool, and championship lawn bowling greens.

Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
