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.

Outstanding Golf

From the dramatic layout to the superb condition, The Links at Gettysburg is an absolute golf treat. One of the better golf finds in recent memory, this course has it all - eye catching hole vistas, with creative, challenging routings. Its also a tester - you will be challenged, especially on the back 9 with some tight landing areas. Simply an excellent golf experience.

Great Course. Would love to play again.

Gorgeous Course. Only complaint is that the sand could have been a bit softer, otherwise a beautiful and challenging course. It's the type of course on which you'll want to play smart golf. There is plenty of water as well as a plethora of green-side bunkers to make play challenging. so if you end up with a good score, you feel good in that you earned it. I would recommend this course to anyone, and I hope to find myself back there soon.

Unique holes and terrain

We played as a twosome on a Wednesday and almost had the course to ourselves. The conditions were very good and the greens rolled a little fast and very true. The layout is interesting and the holes with the red rock faces as backdrops are quite unique and interesting looking. I would say the front nine is definitely easier than the back depending on the prevailing wind although there are some blind tee shots on the front that make it interesting if you have not played the course before (thank goodness for modern golf with a GPS). In particular, the very first hole has you hitting to a target on a fairway that drops off severely. Placement is important due to the creek in front of the green but the creek and green are well below the fairway so you can't see them from the tee. Local knowledge or experience playing the course would help in these cases, but this is a minor complaint. At the Golfnow rate, the round was a bargain and we're looking forward to playing again (especially since we now have a feel for some of the holes with blind tee shots).

Great Course

The front 9 is fun and some moderately difficult holes with a long par 5. The back 9 is full of water hazards and challenging. The course is beautiful and well maintained.

Course is in magnificant shape!

It always seems to be a pleasure to come back to The Links at Gettysburg. It was a beautiful day and the course was in terrific shape. Kudos to the greenskeeper! We played on a weekday so the course wasn't crowded and the pace of play went well.

evil greens

Played here 1 time before in rain and really liked it. Played it again weather was a little chilly and some wind. The course is beautiful the greens are scary. Putting is my strongest part of my game and I had 5 3 putt bogeys (barely making 2 other pars with 10'+ 2nd putt). Lots of contortions but they're a great speed. Some intimidating drives and second shots with water and/or trees running length of fairways. There are some giant sand traps that need to be avoided. Its a fun course because it really makes you think on the tee. You gotta plan your route not just grab driver and swing away. Its easily my new favorite course. Only complaints were a couple of badly uneven tee boxes that were obviously not the normal box but still. The driving range is small but does the job. And man whoever set some of those pins that morning must've been mad! But we play golf for the fun of the challenge. We actually booked next weeks round as soon as we got home.

Beautiful course from start to finish!

Even for pre-season the fairways were in awesome shape. The greens are some of the most challenging around. Difficult course. Beautiful course. Definitely recommend to anyone. A must play!

Great round

It was a cold day, in the 30s, so we were the only ones out on the course. The course was in good shape, the greens were much nicer then expected. I would definitely play this course again.

Considering time of year and weather conditions (45 degrees and 15-25 winds ) was pretty good. Only real issue is red sand/small rock "sand traps" ?

Nice course just need to do something about sand/rock mixture in sand traps... For quality of course did not expect substandard materials in traps.

A definite must-play.

Overall very good condition but greens were aerated late so they'll be that way all winter since the growing season is over. Nice new paved paths.

Great Layout.

What a great property for a golf course and the layout has everything. There are birdie holes like the shortish par-5 fourth hole and there are challenges like the long thirteenth hole. In general the front nine offers more scoring opportunities than the back. There are also plenty of elevation changes that afford scenic views. Usually the course is in great condition, but the greens had just been aerated and we played the day after heavy rains.

A beautiful course, where elevation changes make for some great views, and challenging play.

The course is in very good shape, although there was work underway to repair the cart path (needed) and several bridges. It also appeared some drainage improvements were taking place. The course was well kept, greens in very good shape. Fairways were in great condition. They are not kidding about having to be precise in your shots, though. Some holes (#18) feel like you are threading a needle, but it makes a great challenge. Interesting topography, good elevation changes, some great views from a couple of the tee boxes. We had a great day on the course. And most certainly cannot wait to play the Links at Gettysburg again.
