Friday, March 28, 2008 (Shawnee on Delaware, Pennsylvania) — There are only certain places in the world that you can ski and golf at the same time. A few areas out west in the United States and also in the booming traveling destination of Dubai. Shawnee is able to offer the same thing this weekend.
This is an official notice to let everyone know that you can ski and golf this weekend – both outdoors and in moderate temperatures. It is quite the rare occasion that the golf and ski season overlap in the Pocono Mountains. Tourist visiting can literally pack their skis and golf clubs. Local residents can also brag that they have the option between the two amenities.

The weather for the next three days is supposed to be in the mid 40s to low 50s. Skiers will dress lighter then usual and golfers will put on an extra layer of clothing.
For the first two weeks of the golf season, Shawnee Country Club will offer the discounted public rates of $30 midweek and $40 weekend (not valid with any other discounts). The normal season rate for 18-holes of golf is $65 midweek and $90 weekend.
