The Links At Gettysburg

The Links at Gettysburg stretches to 7,031 yards across 18 holes with a par of 72. True to its name, the course takes on a links-style character, with open sight lines, fewer trees than a typical Pennsylvania layout, and wind that can become a factor on the exposed ground of Adams County. A driving range supports practice. The 7,000-yard-plus length from the back tees makes it one of the longer courses in south-central PA.

The course is located on Mason Dixon Road in Gettysburg, near the Maryland border. Luxury pricing places it at the higher end of local options. Cedar Ridge Golf Course and Meadow Brook Golf Course are nearby, and Piney Apple Golf Course is also in Adams County, giving the Gettysburg area a respectable selection of layouts. The open farmland and gentle hills of this region provide a different feel from the forested mountain courses found farther north.
