The Poconos offer many challenging golf courses.
A trip to the Pocono Mountains is an ideal way to get away from it all. The Poconos have been attracting visitors for years with activities that span the four seasons. Activities include skiing, championship-level golf courses and canoeing and kayaking. With all of these activities, it's no surprise there are a number of resorts that serve the Poconos.
The Skytop Lodge
The Skytop Lodge brings an old-world charm to the Poconos with an exterior that recalls an English country manor. At this resort, guests can stay in the stone lodge, move outside to a selection of cottages or rest at the Inn, which is located on the golf course. Speaking of the golf course, the Skytop has a number of outdoor activities besides its 18-hole golf course. Guests can try dog-sledding, tobogganing, rock-climbing, paintball and canoeing.
