Pennsylvania: Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort, ‘Family Fridays’ Introduce a New Generation to Golf. An all-American family destination for countless generations, The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort is introducing its new “Shawnee Family Fridays” golf program, designed for kids and grownups to have fun together on the course.
 
Starting May 7, the “Family Fridays” series features a special $25 rate for both one adult and one child playing nine holes together. Groups will be scheduled for the White Course, which includes a complete set of Junior Tees. “Family Friday” will be both a social and competitive venue, where the kids and grownups have the option to be part of a weekly tournament, or not even keep score.
 
Now in its 100th season, Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort is developing various opportunities for a new generation of golfers to experience the history and tradition of Shawnee, a 27-hole facility that includes the original 18 designed by the famed A.W. Tillinghast.
 
“Family golf and tournament golf are all part of the Shawnee experience,” said Joe Manley, Head Golf Professional at Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort. “Everything we do is approached to create playing opportunities and competition that isn’t extremely expensive.”
 
Among those programs this season is complementary golf for experienced golfers age 15 and younger, when playing with an adult. The offer is available weekdays after noon and weekends after 4:30 p.m. (Junior golfers must be approved by a member of the Shawnee professional staff.)
 
Opened in 1911, Shawnee’s fairways and greens have challenged many of golf’s legendary players, and today allow guests to retrace the steps of Walter Hagen, Arnold Palmer, as well as celebrities such as comics Bob Hope and Jackie Gleason, and President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
 
On May 1 the resort is scheduled to host a US Kids Golf event for the first time, a tournament that is part of the Philadelphia North Spring Tour. “It will be a chance for kids who might not otherwise play Shawnee, to walk through the halls and see all the old photographs,” Manley said, referring to the historic art inside the celebrated hotel. “They won’t know the people in the picture fames, but their parents and grandparents will.”
 
Throughout the golf season, the championship course is available from 7:30 a.m. to dusk, weather permitting. Tee times are available daily for both resort guests and public play, seven days in advance. Fees are $65 Monday through Friday, $90 on Saturdays and Sundays, with a golf cart included. Twilight rates begin at 1:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.
