(POCONO MOUNTAINS, PA) – The Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau – overseeing the storied, four-county region in Northeast Pennsylvania with more than 25 courses and award-winning designs by Jack Nicklaus, Donald Ross and A.W. Tillinghast – has extended its partnership with Buffalo Communications as its golf-destination public-relations agency.
Entering the fifth year of the PMVB-Buffalo collaboration, the Pocono Mountains has become a favorite among traveling golfers from the nearby NY-NJ-PA-CT area as well as the entire Eastern seaboard and Midwest. Editorial coverage in Golf Digest, GOLF Magazine, Met Golfer, New York Daily News, New York Post, New York Times, Newsday, Golf Styles-Philadelphia, Philadelphia Inquirer, Newark Star-Ledger and other influential media has contributed to the golf-spending increase.
“The golf inventory in the Pocono Mountains includes stellar classic and modern layouts from several of the best architects worldwide,” says Carl Wilgus, President and CEO of the PMVB. “Buffalo Communications continues to drive golf tourism to our venerable courses, resorts and other hospitality sectors.”
“The Pocono Mountains represent a convenient, mountain oasis and authentic golf destination for one-day, long-weekend and week-long trips for leisure and business,” says Rich Katz, Managing Director of Buffalo. “We’re thrilled to advance the reputation of incredible value and variety.”
Buck Hill Golf Club, The Country Club at Woodloch Springs, Jack Frost National, Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort, Skytop Lodge and Split Rock Resort & Golf Club are just some of the preferred venues for stay-and-play golfers. The famed Mount Airy Casino Resort Golf Club re-opened this season after a multi-million-dollar renovation.
