"While the weekends have always been popular among visitors to the Pocono Mountains, our co-op members are reaching out to prospective guests by offering hard-to-resist specials during the week," says Robert Uguccioni, executive director of the Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau. "The area remains beautiful throughout the week. By planning a weekday visit to the Pocono Mountains, golfers can avoid the usual weekend traffic and unwind with a relaxing round."
