It's Time for Golf in the Pocono Mountains... Discover the Game's Great Destination Secret!

Welcome to Pocono Golf - where Arnie met Winnie, the courses on which Masters Champion Art Wall honed his game, a destination where bears are as prevalent as birdies, the site of a memorable PGA Championship - roughly 90 minutes from New York City. Yet the lush mountain golf, spellbinding scenery and lingering presence of legends transport one back to a time when players like Walter Hagen, Sam Snead and Byron Nelson reigned supreme.

Golf has been a cornerstone. Sprawled out over four counties, the Pocono Mountains features iconic course designs by Donald Ross and A.W. Tillinghast - including his first-ever design - and evokes memories of the Golden Age of Golf Course Architecture, when this destination first sparkled. It continues to glow today thanks to the complementary addition of modern championship layouts by Jack Nicklaus and Rocky Roquemore.

The area's mix of playing venues and styles is diverse and challenges better players while offering less imposing options for beginners - the Poconos has something that will satisfy every golfers' wants and needs. A venerable destination like this could rest on its collective laurels, but it continues to evolve. Through adding new golf amenities and courses, implementing environmentally preserving and wildlife-saving practices, restoring historic clubhouses and building new ones, the Pocono Mountains has become the great golf-and-resort lifestyle destination secret in the Northeast.
