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.

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.

Links at Gettysburg

One of the best courses in PA. It features a great layout, with water coming into play on nearly every hole on the back 9. I've never had any issues with course conditions here. Clubhouse is great and features a nice restaurant. Only issues I've had at this course is that it can be a bit slow. It's typically very crowded. Still worth a play though.

Amazing

This horse is an absolute gem. Each hole has its own special uniqueness and each one was absolutely gorgeous. If you are a golfer and in Gettysburg area I highly recommend it.

Very nice course. Terrible rate of play

Today played the links at Gettysburg. Thiscourse is very pretty and a great layout. Staff and amenities are top notch. What isn't great is the pace of play. Teed off at 11:10. At 4pm almost 5 hours later we finally hit hole 18 and we're still waiting. I'd expect this pace of play on a weekend but not on a Wednesday mid day. The players assistant did come by on the first 9 but never on the back. I don't know if I would return and not sure if I'd recommend this course any more.
