CHALLENGING GOLF WITH BLIND MOUNTAIN SHOTS
The Pocono Mountain has always been a mountain escape for New Yorker’s. Due to its caliber of golf, it is no longer known as just a honeymooner’s destination, but as a golf classic going back to when acting favorites like Jackie Gleeson learned to play. Golfers head to the Pocono Mountains for a different terrain of golf not found in their backyard. There are collectively over 10 golf courses and 6 hotels, plus condo and townhome rental options at the base of two ski mountains. On the western edge of the region is must play Jack Frost National. This rather long course will challenge golfers of all skills, while also offer incredible views from every angle and the occasional black bear that finds its way out of the brush!
