(Pocono Mountains, Pa.) – Eastern Pennsylvania golfers can now reap more than $200 in savings by purchasing the $40 Pocono Mountains Golf A-Round Card, offering value-driven playing opportunities at seven regional courses.
Now available for purchase online at http://www.poconosgolf.com, the new card features $25 rounds, with cart, at leading courses throughout the four-county region. The discounted rounds are available Monday-Friday and Sunday after 1 p.m. from April-November, allowing golfers to play at each course twice.
Participating courses range from historic Donald Ross classics to Golf Digest “Best New” courses, including:
• Fernwood Hotel and Resort
• Hideaway Hills Golf Club

• Jack Frost National Golf Club
• Mount Airy Casino Resort and Golf Course

Once golfers have purchased the card, they must call the golf course for a tee time and mention their card to receive the discount. Some holidays and blackout days may apply, but golfers can book rounds up to three days in advance.
“We want players to know that Pocono Mountains courses are fun, accessible and affordable,” said Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau CEO Carl Wilgus. “This new program allows golf buddies and families to play 14 rounds at a cost that’s lower than a good seat at a major league ball park.”
Most Pocono Mountains golf courses are located within a 1.5-hour drive from New York City, Philadelphia and other regional cities. Visitors can plan their next visit by using the Pocono Mountains’ online trip planner that maps distances between courses and their proximity to area’s plethora of accommodations and attractions.
