The logo remains as the symbol of the Lookaway Golf Club where the first rounds of golf were played in May of 1999. Lookaway Golf Club offers pure golf in a rural setting, designed by internationally respected architect Rees Jones. The championship course, acclaimed by Golf Digest magazine as one of the top ranked courses in Pennsylvania, encompasses 230 acres and is defined by seclusion, tranquility, and a dedication to a unique golf club experience.
