The Links at Gettysburg sprawls across rolling hills situated near the hallowed grounds where the defining battle of the Civil War took place. The golf course wages a formidable challenge itself, featuring 35 steep rock cliffs where the stone-lined tee boxes are perched and 10 lakes and waterfalls that come into play throughout. Red rock cart paths give a contrast to the lush greens and sparkling blue waters. The dramatic elevations allow golfers to enjoy stunning views of the surrounding countryside but the scenery can be almost too distracting since the demanding layout requires all of your attention. Be prepared for a bevy of strategically placed bunkers as well as mature trees. With the challenging layout and unrivaled views, it is no surprise that the Links at Gettysburg is ranked as one of the top 10 golf courses in Pennsylvania.

nice

not for the beginner. Many narrow fairways and some water that you don't see. Could use a course map especially for people who don't play there often.

Great golf staff and starters - best around!

Great Facility

Had an early morning start and the course was in great shape. There were several holes where the rough was 4-5 inches deep and with wet grass this made it a real challenge. This is a beautiful course and is highly recommended.

More than I expected.

Fellow Golfers,

This course is really a great place, from the appearance upon arrival, to the bag drop, to clubhouse. The Staff is very friendly, the place is clean, inside and out. It is the type of place if I lived closer I'd go there just for the afternoon to watch people playing the 18th from the 19th !!

I read a lot about pace of play issue's here. The pace was ok on Saturday,, we waited on a few holes but nothing that could set you off, maybe we where lucky ? The course is in great shape from T box to greens, the brown sand threw me a bit but " when in Rome " there was some white sand around too. We had a great time and will be back again.

Very nice course.

Started on #10. Nice tee boxes. Fairways are tight. Fescue is not forgiving. Greens were a bit disappointing with so many ball marks. Water comes into play quite a bit #10-18. The front nine seems a bit more manageable for scoring. Overall, this course is very challenging and you may want to use X-outs.

A Must Play

This was our first time at this course. It will not be our last. We have a grand child who lives in the area and now that we have discovered this course we will play it each time we visit. What a great experience and layout. The staff was excellent.

Needs A Marshall

This is an excellent course and I will go again but they really need a marshal to quicken pace of play. We had foursome in front of us that seemed to really take their time. So we did a lot of waiting. Nobody for a hole and a half in front of them and this was really frustrating since the group behind us was on our heels the whole day and we could never really relax and have fun always felt rushed. Don't get me wrong this is an excellent course to play and is a lot of fun but for the money they charge on a Sunday they can afford someone monitoring the course.

Weekday golfing

The course is in great condition and is challenging on certain holes but overall a fun course. The staff is great, very friendly and knowledgeable. The back nine they have done some improvements to the cart paths and landscape which makes it nicer. The back nine is a tighter course and has a lot of water to make it interesting. Overall a great course and I would come back when in the area.

Very impressed on the pace of play

We had a threesome that teed off at 12:30 on a Saturday. It was my first time there and my fellow golfers had not been up that way in over ten years. We scored a couple low 80's and one low 90. The course was full and we still only waited on 3 holes 2 of them being par 3's. The course is in beautiful shape and they had just aerated 2.5 weeks prior. The staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. All in all it was a very relaxing day.

great course but no ranger on a Saturday

There was a foursome thar cause 4 groups to be on the same hole the whole game. We would have been completed in 4 hours or less if that foursome was made to move on or practice golf etiquette and let the faster players play through..I am not understanding why a ranger was not present to move them along. Five hours to play 18 holes is crazy. I like the course and plan on returning for several more rounds of golf.

Yardage book or app is a must to club it correctly on some holes

Tough, beautiful layout, excellent conditions, fun time, & great grill at the end. Lack of layup yardage on certain holes will hurt you big time. Priciest course in area, use a discount to soften the price. Little out of the way drive to get there, like Iron valley. Must play if you like tough but fun layout courses.

Waiting for the clouds to part

On a cloudy and muggy day this course showed itself well and would be spectacular on a sunny day. Local knowedge of at least 6 holes would have been ideal. The starter did give good tips about clubbing down on the first hole. Lost less golf balls than I thought given the extensive water risk and narrow fairways (Does that mean I'm getting better? or lucky.). Bunkers mostly had moist sand. Most fairways littered with unfixed divots followed by greens with untouched ball marks. I had read in prior reviews that this occurred and was indeed quite evident. Hot dogs and a drink at the turn a good price by dogs mundane and barely cooked despite a nice looking grill. But overall a fine experience and one to be enjoyed again.

A MUST Play; Personal Top 5 course. Worth the Drive

The Links is my favorite Central PA course, bar none, and top 5 personal course. Very scenic. I have played here 4 times in all seasons and it is always in great shape. Staff has always been above great, practice facilities are also top notch with wide range and short game area. Course is a challenging layout, but the multiple tee options can take some of the challenge away. Water comes into play on most holes, and ones without water have forced carries or multitude of bunkers. Hitting fairways is pretty much a must on most holes. It can play as a bombers paradise(as long as you bomb it straight) and a thinkers course where lay-ups and club selection can mean birdie/par or double/triple. There has always seemed to be some kind of wind to deal with(which i assume is due to its neighboring farm fields), which can mean clubbing up...add in the fact that a lot of the holes have slow uphill grades that ask for an extra club, and you are 2 upped. My favorite hole, and the most challenging in my opinion is the par 5, 7th where you are teeing from above and the fairway has ponds on either side that can come into play on your 2nd shot as well. The ponds lie about 5 feet below the fairway, and the rough is usually trimmed a little which can lead to balls sliding down the slope into the drink. But I think you will be hard pressed to find a tougher hole in the area. There are also a handful of other holes that I would rank 2A, 2B, etc. Bring some extra balls.

My favorite course

This course is very difficult, but worth every penny. I live about an hour and a half away but play there at least 3 or 4 times a year. Tight fairways, truly challenging greens, and wonderful conditions make this a destination
