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.

Not a lot of room to miss

The Links at Gettysburg is a fun, but very tight golf course. Normally golf courses give you one side to miss on a certain hole, but not here.

The course is pretty with some good mountain views and a lot of elevation change. It was also in good shape. I really enjoyed some of the rock outcroppings along a few of the fairways and behind some of the greens. They also have a cool water tower with the course logo that you can see from pretty much every hole on the course.

Given the challenge of the course (Our 4some lost over 30 balls for the day) and the fact it was perfect weather on a Saturday morning, it took us 5 hours to play.

Some of my favorite holes are number 7, a long double dogleg par 5 with water up both sides.. 8 is a drivable par 4 with a giant rock outcropping all along the right side of the hole. And 12 is an awesome par 3 over water with the clubhouse, waterfall and water tower all in the background. 18 is also great and finishes right next to 12 green.

Overall, the course was fun, but you better hit it straight if you want to score well.

A fun challenge

Always a nice course to play, the Links at Gettysburg, is a moderately difficult layout that has hazard on many holes but plays fair if you can hit it straight.

Almost a 5 Star...

Back to Links of Gettysburg for the second time this year. (It's almost 1.5 hrs drive for me.) I love the layout of this course, and it's very scenic. The landscaping on the course is very nice as well...plenty of fresh, colorful flowers and plants. The course was in good shape except for: 1) the tee boxes were pretty chewed up, 2) the bunkers didn't have much sand, and 3) there were HUGE divots in the fairways. Players need to leave the course in better shape than what they found it! There's cannisters of divot mix on the cart--players, please use it! I was in two huge, deep divots and was penalized for being in the fairway because of another player's carelessness. Overall, the course was in nice shape, with the greens running pretty quick, the rough thick but cut--and playable--and the fairways cut tight. It was also a beautiful day with low humidity and temperature, and lots of sunshine. Nice pace of play as well! This is a great course with lots of risk/reward holes...and trouble abounds if you can't hit the fairway.

Very nice

I have nothing bad to say about this course. It's one of the most scenic courses I've played. This course would be difficult for your average golfer, many carry overs and plenty of trouble. Greens are large and in good shape, traps could use more sand. Take some extra balls!!

A top place to play

Every round there is memorable. ALL the people who work there help make it an even better experience. Great course to play and cheaper than any comparable course in MD. The traps were wet today from recent rain, and I've seen that a few times this year. Some greens were not at their best. We players need to fix out dents better! For every dent I made today I fixed another one or two. If you haven't played here you are missing out.

Slow play, fun course

Course was fun and looked great. Prob are sand traps don’t have sand and most were filled with several inches of water. There were very slow groups that were clogging everything up and it took 5hr 15 min for round.
