Royal Manchester Golf Links

A beautiful and challenging course. Great golf now deals that allow you to play a high quality course, for what I considering, a fraction of the cost.

The only thing bad I can say about this place is that it ruins every other golf course I play. This is the course that I put other courses up against. These are hands down the best greens in the greater area. They have a phenomenal range and practice area. I just can't say enough about this place.

The greens had recently been aerated and were just about fully grown back. Outside of this course was perfect. Always a nice track.

It isn't on the beaten path but it's worth a road trip. I played this course twice and the second time was just as good as the first and I don't think it will be the last time I go there. The course layout provides great diversity in holes that go both ways over the hilly terrain of the area. The greens are big and challenging if you get on the wrong tier of them. Ample bunkering will come into play on stray shots but the fairways are generous and mounding on the sides of some holes will actually help bounce your ball back toward the fairway. There are areas where fescue grasses are grown up in season making for a scenic view but also for difficulty finding a ball that goes near them. The ninth is a shortish par 5 to a narrow green that is fronted by water. I have played there twice and carried the green both times in two but ended up behind it both times. It's a fun hole. The 18th is a tough par 4 but the downhill fairway will give you roll to get closer to a green with a large water hazard guarding it.

They had amazing conditions for a course in PA in February. I have played this course a lot and there were only two differences between now and the summer, no tall grass on the mounds, and the greens were slower. Other than those two differences, it was the same course. If you have the chance to play this course in the beginning of the season, make it a priority because you will not be disappointed.

Really nice course and excellent friendly service at clubhouse. The links type required keeping the ball in the fairway.....or having a good inventory of replacement balls in my bag. The greens were fantastic and rolled true. We will be back again. Good value!! I highly recommend to others.

Fantastic golf course. My only issue is the pace of play can be slow at times. Hard golf course which should not be played by begginers. To much time searching for balls slows the pace of play to the point it's painful. Always love to play here when I have the chance.

I have played at a lot of golf courses this year from Florida to New York and I must say I was really impressed . The fairways the greens everything was in great condition we got a lot for our money today. I would recommend this course to anyone.

this course was well maintained and lots of fun to play the tall grass had recently been cut down. I can't wait to to come back and play with the high grass

Wanted to play here in 2015 but Dupont made sure that didn't happen.....Fwd to 2016 and after a busy year playing Myrtle and several local country clubs I finally got in the car and drove the 1.3 hours from Avondale , Pa. to Royal Manchester after getting tired of reading rave reviews.... Hot deal from Golfnow made up for the gas $ used. From tee to green conditions were above average , the layout was extremely enjoyable with multiple memorable holes. A links course throughout except for the longer par 3 on the back which featured a green surrounded by trees. Some local knowledge may have improved my experience since this was a 1st time here but all told , a reasonable course to negotiate. If I was to offer any tips.... one would be to select a smaller target off the tee to increase fairways hit and... two would be whatever break you're reading for your putt , cut it in half. Don't miss the "crock burgers" in the restaurant which are ready instantly at the turn. I'll be back real soon for another enjoyable....affordable experience.

A few tee boxes were in bad shape. The greens had alot of ball marks because a few golfers won't take the time to fix their own ball mark. This is no respect for the golf course and other golfers.

Been to many courses in the area and they have had problems with greens, fairways and tee boxes due to the weather conditions in the area. Royal Manchester was in excellent condition except for many of the tee boxes.

Royal Manchester is a beautiful and challenging layout. We played on a near-perfect day. Pace of play was good for a holiday weekend. Surprising # of couples enjoying the course which was great to see.

You have to keep it in the short grass here or very near the fairway. Don't head off into the high stuff looking for a ball -- you won't find it. Drop one and move on. Don't hold up play.

Great course!!! MUST PLAY!!!

Royal Manchester offers a challenging test of any golfer's skills with a links style layout. The greens roll true and are maintained with expert level care. The scenic views of rolling fairways that are framed with fescue makes this course a hidden gem in The York area. Highly recommended.

We teed off on one of the hottest, muggiest days so far this summer. Shoes and thunderstorms were threatening, and they hit with a vengeance! We came in after four holes to wait out the storm, tried again when it ended, and scurried right back when lightning struck very nearby. We completed our round after the storms passed.

The course drains very well as it is built on mounds of fly ash mixed with sand from the power plant that looms over the course. These mounds provide visual barriers between fairways so that one feels secluded while on the course. The course architecture is very appealing with a variety of ups, downs, and doglegs.

Fairways and greens are in wonderful shape. Sand in the bunkers is very nice to play out of, even after a heavy rain. Blue, white. gold, and red tees are well placed to give every golfer a chance at par. Even first timers can find their way around these links easily, thanks to outstanding signage on the cart paths.

This is the best course I've played in south central PA.

we had a wonderful round of golf. the course is beautiful, well kept up. all the staff and amenities are very nice. looking forward to another round there

Love to play here. Come back as often as possible. Top notch all the way around. Greens are fantastic. Thanks for providing such a great golf experience.
