5 Things to Do on Your Solo Getaway

One of the biggest advantages of going on a solo vacation is the only opinion that matters is your own. That means if you want to spend the day lounging around your room, go for it. If you want to be out exploring from sunrise to sunset, no one’s there to tell you no.

  1. Enjoy a day of pampering at The Lodge at Woodloch Spa. Our luxury, adults-only spa offers several treatments designed to restore your mind, body, and spirit. 
  2. Sign up for one of our yoga classes. We offer classes geared toward all skill levels, including Vinyasa Flow, Hatha Yoga, and Savasana.
  3. Try vibrational sound therapy. There are numerous benefits to this practice, including decreased anxiety, improved memory, and stress reduction.
  4. Go for a walk. There are several stunning areas to explore throughout our property and the surrounding area, including six miles of on-site paths and nearby Promised Land State Park.
  5. Relax with a good book and a good glass of wine at a nearby winery. We recommend stopping by Three Hammers Winery in Hawley to sip on incredible vino, walk around the nature trail, or take in the region’s beauty on an Adirondack chair.

1. Research Our Different Accommodation Options

At Woodloch, we understand one-size-fits-all lodging doesn’t always work. We offer several different accommodations because we host groups of all sizes and budgets. This includes hotel-style rooms, which are included in our inclusive rate plans, and inclusive plan on-site vacation rentals. For even more options, check out the Woodloch Springs vacation rentals. While all of these lodging styles are fantastic, one might fit your stay better than the others.

2. Create a Rough Itinerary

Between our on-site activities and things to do in the surrounding area, you never have to worry about someone getting bored. With so many choices of what to do, it’s a good idea to put together some kind of rough itinerary or list of things you want to do during your stay. This could include enjoying some of the last days of summer weather out in nature at spots like Promised Land State Park or playing a round at Woodloch Springs, our championship golf course.

3. Look for Ways to Save

The cost of vacations can add up quickly, but there are ways to keep things more manageable. One is looking to see what special offers are available before booking your stay. Another is looking for free things to do in the area while also taking advantage of all the things to do that are included in your stay.

As soon as temperatures start to rise and winter begins to fade into the background, golfers across the country start looking ahead to another season of fun. Now is the perfect time to plan your visit to Woodloch Springs. Available to guests at both Woodloch and The Lodge at Woodloch, as well as the general public, this nationally-recognized Poconos golf course is perfect for golfers of all skill levels.

What to Know about Our Poconos Course

The Woodloch Springs course is 18 holes of championship-worthy play. The par-72 course stretches over 6,500 yards of fern-carpeted forest, board upland meadows, and lush wetlands. Recognized by GOLF Magazine as “one of the finest courses in America,” it also has been named one of the “best places to play” by Golf Digest.

Each hole has four sets of tees and alternating pin placement, so there’s a setup for golfers of all skill levels. Your skills are put to the test at the signature 14th hole, which requires a 220-yard carry over “Hells Gate Gorge.”

Rates for play vary depending on the time of year, and you can book your tee time online. Rental clubs are available at the Golf Shop, and we also offer practice balls. Before you arrive, we recommend reading up on our dress code, cancellation policy, and pace of play.

Ways to Improve Your Game

If you’re looking for ways to improve your golfing skills, you’re in luck. We offer several different ways to do just that.

  • The indoor simulator allows you to play nine or 18 holes. This is a great option if the weather puts a damper on your original plans or if you’re visiting us in the off-season.
  • Another excellent option is our golf academy. Our experienced instructors can help you improve your swing or ensure the clubs you’re using are the best fit.

  3. Play a round of golf at Woodloch Springs. Recognized by Golf Digest as one of the “Best Places to Play,” the course features four sets of tees and is the perfect challenge for golfers of all skill levels.
  4. Check out our lineup of upcoming speakers and events. We work to bring inspirational and motivational speakers to our resort who’ll help guests gain a deeper understanding of health, healing, love, spirituality, and more.
  5. Spend a day wandering antique stores. This is a great option for guests who drive to our resort; just make sure you have room in your car for the treasures you’re sure to find. We recommend visiting The Loft Antiques, Miss Elly’s Antiques & Such, and Hawley Antique Exchange.
