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.

haven't played in 4-5 years - PLEASANTLY SURPRISED

Hadn't played in 4-5 yrs. Course was in GREAT shape. Lots of money and work went into improving. Tees, fairways and greens were in "near" perfect shape. It would be as nice as any good Country Club, if people only fixed their divots and ball marks. I fixed on average 3-5 ball marks on EVERY green, and this was just a fraction of the total.

Great conditions. Some VERY challenging holes. A few of questionable design. All and all, a good course.

Hidden gem

Beautiful course and scenery. Very difficult if you don't know the course or have someone knowledgeable with you. But, fun course that will test your shirt game and long game (some par 5s are long!) getting there is tricky so use your gps.

Great Course

Play was a bit slow but other than that its a great course. Well maintained. Several signature holes look amazing. Keep in mind its a links style so bring extra balls, if you miss the fairway you probably wont find it!

Let down!

So I was super excited to play here but I was let down from the beginning. Upon arrival the bag guy loaded me up and pointed me to the pro shop. I went in and purchased a shirt and a bucket of balls. The guy inside was too busy talking on a radio to deal with me so I waited. After a successful purchase I come outside to find that my cart and bag was transported to the range that wasn't that close by a person I got paired with. To me that was odd and inappropriate. I went to hit my balls and got 4 balls hit before the starter rushed us to the tee because someone didn't show up.
The course has terrible sight lines, tons of blind shots. A lot of forced carries that were less than appealing brush and junk. Fairways were not in that great of shape. Lots of divots unrepaired. There was about a 50 yd difference from the scorecard on every tee box except the par 3s. The greens weren't as fast as I hoped. The traps had huge rocks in almost every single one of them. Did I mention too many blind shots... Unless you are a regular here it's very hard to enjoy.

I will not play here again. Do not pay full price for this round!

I'm going back

Fun course with several greens dug out of the side of hills leaving a rock wall backing the green. Greens and fairways in good shape. It is a course that you will have to play several times to know where shots should land to stay out of trouble.

Great Course

Great experience at the Links at Gettysburg. From the moment you pull the car up everyone is very accommodating. Course attendants clean your clubs and place them on the cart. Course in great condition. Worth the $78 dollars. Will definitely be playing here again.

Great shot makers course

Demanding tee shots and few driver holes. Locals really helpful because it is tough to know where to aim sometimes. Greens had been relatively recently aerified and were a little slow and bumpy - can't wait till it grows in to play it again. Not overly long, interesting.

Worth the drive!

This course has been on my list for a while. There are frequently good deals on Golf Now here. I paid a rate that I would expect to pay for a dog track course. What I experienced was nothing short of superior. The facility is immaculate. The staff is friendly and helpful. The course was being prepped for spring but was still in excellent condition. I thoroughly enjoyed the lay out. There are a lot of water hazards and devilishly placed bunkers the contend with, and it's long. Bring your driver, there won't be a lot of laying up.

Walked

overpriced

What I dislike about this course is that they don't encourage walkers and they have a locals' discount but you have to know that, because they sure won't mention it. They book a lot of events and these folks will take precedent over you, poor golfer. Be prepared to pay top dollar and be treated like less.

OK for winter time

The course was sopping wet and the greens were not very smooth. to be able to play in the winter in this area is just a bonus, so we take what we can get. I have played this course many times and it is usually in great shape!

A surreal feeling

I was excited to play here. The course is very expensive but the Golf Now hot deal price made it affordable. As I stood on the first tee I had this surreal feeling that I had never had before on a golf course. I could tell this course was going to be different than any course I had previously played. Even though it's a links you need to fly your approach shots on the first three holes onto the green. The course really opens up beginning on hole 4. The front nine is more interesting than the back nine. As some people have commented the back tends to be repetitive at times. Even though I played in December the course was well maintained and the scenery was beautiful. I was appreciative of the ball and club washers on my golf cart. I brought my camera and took many pictures. My favorite holes include: 1. Dog leg left par 4 to a nice looking elevated green. 3. Par 3 where you are on an elevated tee hitting over a creek and into a wooded cavern. 4. An easy and scenic par 5. 8. Short dog leg left par 4 that requires a precise tee shot. 18. Very pretty par 5 finishing hole. The hole I hated? The par 5 7th. An impossibly long hole with water coming into play on both sides for your first and second shots.

Great Fall Day

On a Sunday in late October, I played the Links of Gettysburg. The course was in excellent condition, the service of the employees was also spectacular. I would definite recommend the course to anyone that asked.

Windy

Played here on an extremely windy day, from the blues, first time here. Good thing the others in the group had been here, several holes require a tee ball that's less than D and pretty precise in regards to direction and length. The course was REALLY soggy due to heavy rains the past day or two, so cart path only throughout the course, which really slowed down play.
Front nine I found interesting, the back nine markedly less so. Even though the Golfnow price was excellent and the course in great condition (except for the water) I will think twice about returning just becasue of the lack of variety on the inward half.
