Getting there
Panorama Golf Course sits in the rolling terrain of northeastern Pennsylvania, most conveniently reached via Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport (AVP), roughly 45 minutes to the south, or alternatively from the larger Philadelphia International (PHL) hub, a drive of approximately 90 minutes northwest through the gentle rise of the Pocono foothills. From either approach, the final miles unfold along quieter state routes that wind through the forested ridges and pastoral valleys characteristic of this corner of the state, where the landscape shifts from suburban sprawl into the serene woodlands that define the region. The arrival at Panorama Golf Course marks the transition from highway to the intimate, tree-lined setting where the course itself emerges as a natural extension of the surrounding terrain - a welcome respite for those seeking quality golf in the understated beauty of Pennsylvania's northeastern reaches.
