There is much more than just golf at Shawnee. The 80-room Inn is charming, plus there are vacation cottages, as well as the Delaware Lodge available for guests. When you are ready for apres’ golf, the resort has two pubs and a brewery. Spa Shawnee and Salon is a place to get pampered, unwind and soothe achy muscles. Other off-course activities include, boating and rafting on the river, an indoor Olympic-size swimming pool, a beach along the Delaware River, biking and hiking trails, plus a playhouse. Shawnee, Woodloch Springs and Jack Frost National are all worth the trip. If you are tired of fighting the summer heat at your home, these three provide a respite from it and will create memories that will last a lifetime. Ohio Golf Journal
