Good Food One of summer’s greatest gifts is the abundance of good food that blossoms from now until fall. Aside from the taste—nothing beats the flavor of natural, local foods—there are plenty of reasons to frequent farms and farm markets. Small, local farms produce healthier, more nutritious foods that are better for you, the environment and future generations. Strolling through aisles of beautiful produce and flowers outdoors is fun and uplifting. Almost anything can be grown on the fertile farms that punctuate the Pocono Mountains. Besides fabulous flowers and great produce, area farms feature free range poultry and grass-fed beef. Northeastern Pennsylvania even boasts several outstanding wineries. Here’s where to go for some of the freshest foods on the planet, right here in the Poconos.

Tee Time Golf, the country’s most popular sport, was first introduced to America in Pennsylvania. As one of the top—and most affordable—golf destinations, the Pocono Mountains have played a significant role in the illustrious history of golf in the US. The Pocono Mountains are home to numerous golf courses designed by legendary Golden Era golf architects, including Donald Ross and A.W. Tillinghast, as well as modern master Jack Nicklaus. Shawnee-on-Delaware’s Buckwood Inn hosted the 1938 PGA Championship. In 1943, renowned band leader Fred Waring, a golf enthusiast, bought Buckwood and renamed it Shawnee Inn. A host of celebrities flocked to the resort, most infamously Jackie Gleason, who shot a 143 in his first golf outing. He returned 15 months later, dramatically improved through lessons and much practice, and shot a 75. Great golf architect Bill Diddle redesigned Shawnee’s course during Waring’s ownership. In 1967, Shawnee hosted the NCAA Championships, which crowned Hale Irwin winner. Other Pocono Mountains resorts are blessed with golf courses that rank among the best in the country. The Country Club at Woodloch Springs was named “one of the finest courses in America” by Golf magazine and both Woodloch and Skytop are rated “4.5 Stars” (out of 5) by Golf Digest’s Best Places to Play. This year marks the Centennial Anniversary for the stately Inn at Pocono Manor’s golf course. The region here is blessed with a long golf season, spectacular natural beauty and more than 30 golf courses, most of which are less than a two-hour drive from New York City and Philadelphia. All clubs and resorts listed here offer one or more 18-hole courses.

Fernwood Resort 5785 Milford Road, East Stroudsburg, (888) 337-6966, www.fernwood.com This destination resort offers virtually every activity available in the Pocono Mountains.

Skytop Lodge Off Route 390, Skytop, (570) 595-7401, (800) 345-7759, www.skytop.com Golf Digest magazine rated Skytop “4.5 Stars” (out of 5) in the “Best Places to Play” issue.
