It's a great spot for a casual golf getaway.

With 11 courses, are there any specific "must-play" courses or unique features that stand out in Lackawanna County?

While not home to world-famous names, you'll discover some real local gems here. We particularly enjoy the scenic elevation changes and well-maintained conditions at places like Glenmaura National Golf Club for a more upscale experience, or the friendly atmosphere and solid play at Pine Hills Country Club. Each course offers its own distinct charm and challenge.

How easy is it to get around Lackawanna County for a golf trip, and what's the local vibe like?

You'll definitely want a car to navigate Lackawanna County, as the courses are spread out and public transport isn't geared for golf travel.

It's a genuine slice of Northeastern Pennsylvania, offering good food and a comfortable stay.
