About
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.

A true gem!
Outstanding golf facility in all aspects. My only regret is its 1.5 hours from ..... But worth the drive!
Fantastic Course
I was surprised at the conditions of the course. The greens were rolling true and had minimal blemishes. The layout is fantastic. As long as you keep it out of the high grass, you are able to score well. I will playing here again and I would recommend anyone who hasn't played there.
Great Greens
Greens are smooth and true. Layout is fun and interesting.
Royal pleasure! Most of the time
This is one of my favorite courses in pa. Great challenging layout, greens roll fantastic, only bad thing I can say is we were behind a group of 16, most of them hit the ball a 100 yards at a time, 5hr 45 min round on a Friday afternoon 90 plus degrees was not fun at all!! Could use a ranger to speed up play! That's the only negative I can say after I've played this course 6 times or so! Food is great!
2nd Stab and will be back
Greens putt true and in superb condition. Fairways, if you can find them are plush. The layout is exciting and challenging! A great links style course.
Great course
Course has plenty of fescue grass but you get yourself in trouble on this course. No tress and plenty of room for a stray shot. A few holes with water. I place this course in the upper echelon.
Beautiful
Love this course! Challenging and beautiful at the same time. Taken car of very well!
best course in york pa
love this course with its beautiful tee boxes, fairways and greens. staff is excellent. go and play....
Very good layout.
Outstanding layout. Many options from several tees on each hole allow players of different levels to enjoy each hole.
Course was in great shape even after the weekend rains. Didn't finish the round due to rain, but still had a great time. Bar closed early. Kind of disappointed in that.
Great Course
Beautiful layout, great conditions. Challenging, but fair course. Play from your proper tees, to enjoy the course.
Pace of play
Before we went to the first tee, the starter told us to keep the pace of play moving. He also said the would be checking times. Well, it was 2 hours and 40 minutes when we walked off the ninth hole. So I asked the staff if that was exceptable? All I got was attitude that they had a full course, it was a hard course and that not everyone is a good golfer. We were the third group waiting on the 10th tee, 3 hours 5 minutes we were able to tee off of hole #10. Five groups a head of us the golf course was wide open, they didn't want to hear it. 5 hrs and 40 minutes later my round ended. In 2012 I had a six hour round here so Sorry, I won't be back.
Hidden Gem
Great course that truly resembles British link golf. The course was in immaculate. The PGA couldn't have prepared a better course. The greens were fast and pure. The course is relatively open (in links style), however the fescue grass is unquestionably a one-stroke penalty. Take your medicine and hit back into the fairway, don't try to be a hero and advance the ball.
Great Course
The course is always in fantastic shape. Greens are challenging and the fairways are maintained very well. If you aren't hitting the ball straight on the fairway bring a sleeve of golf balls because the high grass will eat your golf balls. All and all this is my favorite course in the entire area of Mechanicsburg/York area.
Thanks,
Kirk
Great course
Wonderful greens, great layout. Challenging and probably not as beginner friendly as some others. I really like this course.
