Broad incumbents

• Split Rock Resort: A Poconos resort featuring a public 27-hole golf course, F&B, and event/banquet facilities — comparable as a regional golf-and-events operator with a broader hospitality footprint than Sugarloaf.
• Woodloch Springs: A Poconos-area family resort with its own golf course, F&B, and event venues — comparable in combining golf with year-round event and family programming, but at a larger, destination-resort scale.

Regional players

• Mountain Laurel Golf Club: An 18-hole public golf course in White Haven, PA, offering tee times, lessons, and outings — directly comparable as a regional public course in NE Pennsylvania, though without a comparable event/holiday business.
