When you think of Erie, Pa., thoughts of cold, lake-effect winters, and giant steelhead trout undoubtedly fill your head. But not far from the airport hotels at Erie International Airport are a dozen golf courses, including newly opened Whispering Woods as well as exclusive members-only clubs like Lake Shore and Khakwa. Only 45 minutes from Erie Airport to the east is the the PGA Nationwide Tour event host, Peek'n Peak Resort & Spa in Findley Lake, N.Y., home of the Peek'n Peak Classic with a prize purse of more than 500 grand.
