Split Rock Resort & Gold Club in the Pocono Mountains has something for everyone under the sun. For families, it offers an remarkable number of activities for all ages, and for dads, there’s a lush, challenging golf course to rival any within hours of New York City.

You might think that there’s always something to do with your kids in New York City and to some extent that is true. And yet, for one reason or another, there are plenty of times when that “what to do” question mark looms over your head and even one hour of unscheduled time can send <... >
