CALLING ALL GOLFERS! The Old Brockway Golf Course Opens This Weekend

As the snow thaws and the ice melts, golf season is almost here. The Old Brockway Golf Course opens this Friday, April 26. This picturesque 9-hole golf course with lake views from every hole is a local favorite with reasonable fees and a welcoming vibe. Happy Cabin’s backyard merges into the course, with deck and hot-tub views of the second hole. Happy Cabin is the perfect home base for families and groups with mixed interests. The golfers can play a round, while everyone else grills, hot tubs, lounges or strolls to the lake for boating, swimming and sunning.
