Situated along the shores of the Susquehanna River, Royal Manchester Golf Club is tucked away in the rolling hills of northern York County. The course is just a few miles outside Harrisburg but the traditional links design will transport you to the seaside courses of the British Isles. Like the Old Course at St. Andrews and Royal Latham, which served as the inspiration, the golf course has an open, windswept landscape with only two bodies of water. The 15th, the longest par 3 on the course, is the only hole set among the few trees that dot the landscape. The most formidable challenge comes from the prevailing winds as well as the strategically placed bunkers. Royal Manchester Golf Club finishes with a memorable view of its signature waterfall that cascades down into a sparkling pond.

Good Test

Course conditions were excellent. First and seconds cuts of rough thicker and higher than previous plays. Greens were fast and true. Will play here again soon.

I will return

I enjoyed my round. I was able to hook up with someone who was familiar to the course, which helped. Very little yardage marking, so take you GPS. Hit driver on every hole. Greens in very good shape and consistent. Test the sand, as it is thin, but once again consistent.

Best Conditions Ever

They have done a great job of course conditions. The greens,tee boxes and fairways are excellent. Haven’t played here since last year. What they have done with the mounds and rough areas have added 10 shots to your score if you don’t drive the ball in the fairway. Good luck finding your ball.

Definitely a difference. Must play for the area.

Challenging greens

Excellent course! Greens were challenging and flag always seemed to be hidden behind a sand trap or other obstacle. Each hole had its own challenge and we had a great time playing there ! We will return !

Superb

After playing the course on Tuesday in the rain we decided to return on Friday in the sun. We found the greens to be excellent in the rain so had hoped for even better on Friday and the course delivered. When we checked in we were advised that the greens had been cut and rolled that morning. Wow. Smooth as silk. Not lighting fast but nice and quick. Just get the ball rolling on the right line. It was such a treat. No where in my home town can I find greens as perfect. The course had dried out nicely in the two days prior to our return so it was one of the most enjoyable rounds ever. I'll definitely be returning to Royal Manchester every time I'm in the area. Thank you to the course superintendent and the clubhouse staff for treating our group to this wonderful experience. If every course strived to maintain there greens in this way as golfers we would be spoiled. They also have a wonderful practice area. It is an extra charge but we'll worth it.

Mother Nature didn't help

Played on a day when it rained for 15 of our 18 holes. Course was very lush due to recent rain. Greens were absolutely the best I've ever played.on.

My Favorite Course in PA

Made my annual Spring trek from the Baltimore area to Royal Manchester. I absolutely love this course! And, it's in the best shape I've seen it in in several years. The greens were perfect...and pure. What a pleasure to putt on. The fairways were in excellent condition, as were the bunkers and tee boxes. I noticed that they have finally eliminated the thistle off the mounds, and all mounds are now seeded with beautiful grass (which you can actually hit out of). With a gentle breeze blowing today, the grasses on the mounds actually rippled like you might see in Scotland or Ireland. Gorgeous! Staff is always friendly, and very accommodating. As a twosome, we were allowed to go off the back (vs. get behind a huge group of players) and no problem on the turn going to #1. We played in under 4 hours. This course is a treat, and has beautiful scenery...Three Mile Island (from the tee boxes on #16), and the Susquehanna River (from the cart path on #17). Don't forgot to stop in the grill before you leave--great food and excellent service.

Worth the trip

the course was eye candy. Extremely fun to play, greens were super pure. My only tiny complaint was the extreme firmness of the greens. Unless you have pro trajectory and spin rates, it’s hard to hold some approach shots. But that’s not a terrible course trait. I’m a 7 handicap, and I played with my two buddies who are a 12 and 15 and we all thoroughly enjoyed the course and amenities. A true links style course, what a gem. Will be returning.
