Art Wall, Jr., who represented Pocono Manor as their touring professional in 1959, won The Masters and was named PGA (Professional Golf Association) Player of the Year. The East Course has hosted players from the Senior Tour and the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association), as well. The West Course, designed by George Fazio, was complet- ed in 1959. In addition, the inn has con- tinued to add sporting facilities, guest rooms and numerous other amenities over the years.
Listed on the National Registry of Historical Places, The Inn at Pocono Manor's greatest addition was perhaps its "Brick Tower Wing,” an eight-story build- ing with 106 overnight rooms (one of the most impressive structures in the region) that offers views of more than 50 miles in good weather conditions.
The inn acts as a perfect backdrop for team building activities, too, where guests
can enjoy its rich history through scav- enger hunts or Victorian tea parties. To add to the fun, attendees can dress in or model historic period clothing.
"Planners and attendees like to meet here because it's warm, comfortable and far more enjoyable than many 'cookie cutter' facilities,” observed Lisa D. Green, director of sales and marketing for The Inn at Pocono Manor.
Also located in the Pocono Mountains, the splendor of Skytop Lodge's natural stonework is at home with the views sur- rounding it. In 1925, a group of individu- als had the idea to build a grand resort in the region on a high plateau three miles north of the village of Canadensis in the town of Skytop. They purchased eight tracts of land totaling 2,500 acres, hired a landscape architect to decide on the location of the estate and its golf course, and Skytop Lodge was conceived.
