Gettysburg Course
The Links at Gettysburg
About this course
Carved into the rolling fields that echo with Civil War history, The Links at Gettysburg offers a modern take on the game amidst hallowed ground. Designed in the early 2000s, the course unfolds across a landscape more reminiscent of gentle Scottish terrain than the battlefields it neighbors. Wide fairways invite aggressive play, yet subtle undulations and strategically placed bunkers penalize wayward shots, favoring players who can shape the ball and manage the wind. Architect Stephen Kay crafted a layout that rewards both power and finesse. The Links at Gettysburg is not known to have hosted notable professional championships, but it has matured into a demanding test for golfers of all abilities. The Links at Gettysburg provides a challenging yet fair golf experience in a location steeped in history.

Getting there
The journey to The Links at Gettysburg begins at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, roughly an hour's drive north through the rolling farmland and orchards of south-central Pennsylvania. Harrisburg International offers an alternative gateway from the northwest, while those arriving by private aircraft can utilize Gettysburg Regional Airport, a modest field just minutes from the property. The final miles trace quiet two-lane roads that skirt the hallowed grounds of the 1863 battlefield, the landscape gradually opening to reveal the same gentle ridgelines and stone walls that frame both history and golf in this storied corner of Adams County.
