Description

Golf courses rich in early golf history wind through the woods in the Poconos. Golf is big in these parts, and you'll never be able to play all the available courses in one vacation. Golf courses in the Pocono Mountains range from challenging championship courses designed by such notables as Robert Trent Jones, Geoffrey Cornish, A.W. Tillinghast and Jack Nicklaus, to friendly nine hole facilities. The Poconos are well known as a great golf destination.

For 6,500 yards. the course winds through a green cathedral of trees and knolls. Clubhouse serving food.
