This abandoned golf resort in Pennsylvania may have closed down more than a decade ago, but it's still packed with reminders of the estate's former opulence. Once a playground for the rich, the unkempt greens and ballrooms of the sprawling resort are a derelict time capsule in this fascinating footage from YouTube channel "TheUnkownCameraman." Take a look at the video after the preview below.

The report opened in 1932, and shut its doors for the last time in 2005.
