The Pocono Mts are in the Northeast corner of Pennslyvania,my home town is Scranton,Pa the 2 golf courses you refer to Sand Springsto in the Hazleton area ,and Shhawnee in the Pocono's ,are great courses,a little furture north near Wilkes Barre ,Pa is a great muny course ,Wilkes Barre Golf Club , it's a long course and sitts on the top of "Joe Palooka"Mt.

Shawnee is beautiful , my wife and I have played there several times over the years ,it was one of Jackie Gleason's favorite courses when he would stay in the Mts.

5 minutes from our home is a nice course we play quite a bit,Summit Hills ,and as the name implies ,lots of hills.

The nearest course I've played near Allentown was at a course called "White Tail or Dear" can't remember which,it was a nice course.


The weather here is fine ,right now,we have had rain for 5 days straight after going 15 without a drop ,so the courses are getting a well deserved watering,temps in the 60's during the day down into the 40's at night.
