Please visit the Shawnee Inn and Resort website.
Below is a little of what they have to say about the golf courses there.
Discover the finest in Pocono Golf. Completed in 1907, the golf course at the Shawnee Inn is A.W. Tillinghast's first-ever design. Rich in the history of golf, Shawnee has been the host of the 1938 PGA Championship, the 1967 NCAA Championships and other memorable moments in the chronicles of golf. Shawnee is still graced with the same magnificent trees, picturesque mountains, beautiful river and the same love of the game. With 24 of our 27 holes located on a private island, The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort is the perfect choice for golf in the Poconos.
In many ways the PGA actually has its origins at Shawnee. In 1911, the resort's owner, C.C. Worthington, staged a professional tournament to gain recognition for the sport. Shortly thereafter the PGA was formally founded and one of its first events was and still is the Shawnee Open. Two-time defending US Open Champion John McDermott won the tournament in 1913. In 1938, Shawnee hosted the PGA Championship and our touring professional, Sam Snead, lost to Paul Runyan 8 and 7 - an interesting finish which is immortalized on film.
Virtually all the golf greats during the first half of the 20th Century played at Shawnee including Walter Hagen, Lawson Little, Long Jim Barnes and Johnny Farrell. In fact, six former Shawnee Open winners also hold U.S. Open titles. Hale Irwin, one of golf's premier players, won the NCAA Championship at Shawnee in 1967. Other celebrities have made our course a home away from home, most notably Arnold Palmer and Jackie Gleason. To this day, the Shawnee Open is still a sanctioned point tournament for the Philadelphia Section PGA.
