Golf in Drum

Drum is a small Back Mountain community in Luzerne County, part of the plateau above the Wyoming Valley where residential development has spread into what was once agricultural and forested upland. The Back Mountain townships — Huntington, Lake, Ross, and the surrounding municipalities — form a loose community anchored by the Harveys Lake recreation area and the shopping corridors that serve plateau residents. Drum's character is residential and semi-rural, with the Wyoming Valley's urban intensity visible in the distance but not immediately present. The area draws from a population that chose the Back Mountain specifically for its separation from the valley floor's density, and golf in this community serves that quieter, more spread-out residential market. Luzerne County's golf infrastructure on the plateau benefits from the open land preserved between the residential development patterns.
