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.

Love this course!!!! Drains better than anywhere in this region!!!!

Amazing conditions out on the course for winter and how much moisture needs managed!!!! This place drains better than any other course in the region and it is not even close!!!!

We had no cart restrictions today or yesterday where most places would have been cart path only! Greens are slower due to moisture and that is expected.

Still a premium on shot placement and short game as it is not a long course. It is challenging while being fair and enjoyable! Love this course!!!! It is my favorite in the region!!!!

Looking great in November

There was a light drizzle throughout the round. No standing water and no cart path only.

A place to play

Greens very fast and ran true to slope or variations in greens.
Fairways so easy to hit off of.
Overall it's a 5 1/2 course.
Change in elevation is a welcome to play
Never any holes the same as others.
Ruff penalized you if you get there, which is the way it should be.

First time playing here, will not be my last

This course is amazing, simply put. The staff was very friendly to a first timer there; I asked for any pointers and the young man in the pro shop gave me some great tips on a few of the holes. The course was in stellar condition, even after a morning of rain.

Just keep it out of the really high stuff, and you will be fine.

Great course & on par with country club conditions

Played here for the first time and it won't be my last time. I thoroughly enjoyed the conditions and layout. I live near Baltimore and this course down here would be either private or around $100 to play. The greens rolled true and the fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. It may be a little out of the way for some but it's worth the drive.

Best course in Pa

Played on an unseasonably hot day, however the course was impeccably manicured and in excellent condition. The facilities are first class and the staff friendly and professional. One of the best layouts I've played on.

Best in South Central PA

Always an excellent course. Royal Manchester is my favorite course in south central PA. Greens were slower than the other times I played, but they rolled true and were in magnificent shape.

Super layout

Have played here many times and it remains my favorite public course within an hour's drive. Every hole is interesting. We had just gone experienced a day of constant rain two days before this round, and the greens were unfortunately really chopped up with spike marks. Other than that the course was typically very good.

Fair play

First. We Live this golf course. It is one of our favorites. But........ What we have noticed is that the course MEMBERS take advantage of their pace of play. We have noticed that the MEMBERS do not respect the pace of play. This makes for a very long round. Please tell your members that the rules apply to ALL. THANK YOU

Excellent as usual!

They did aerate the greens... but, they are still the best greens in 50 miles even aerated outside of Lancaster Country Club. Course played well, fescue was down a bit, course was empty which meant a 3 hour ideal round! Great course, great conditions, great staff. What more can you ask for?

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.

Hot weather
Walked

Too hot, quit after 9.

The course was great. Staff was super nice. Sandwich at the turn was tasty.

The course was in GREAT shape, except for all the ball marks on the greens. Greens were rolling pretty fast.

Weather was 95 degrees with high humidity. Too hot to finish the course. Can't wait to go back.
