About this course

Hawk Valley Golf Club sits in the rolling farmland of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, near the small community of Denver. Designed by Bill Gordon and opened in the mid-1990s, the course occupies former agricultural land characteristic of this part of southeastern Pennsylvania, where Amish farms and open countryside define the landscape. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes and stream corridors that wind through the property, creating varied playing corridors across the terrain. Gordon's design incorporates water features on several holes, with ponds and wetlands coming into play both strategically and visually. The layout presents a mix of risk-reward opportunities and straightforward holes, with bunkering that frames landing areas and greens. Mature trees line many fairways, remnants of the property's agricultural past, and newer plantings have matured to add definition to the course. The greens offer moderate undulation, requiring careful attention to approach shots and putting lines. Hawk Valley operates as a semi-private facility, welcoming both members and daily-fee play. The club serves the greater Lancaster and Lebanon County golf market, providing a full-service clubhouse and practice facilities. The course has hosted regional amateur events and qualifiers over the years, contributing to the competitive golf landscape in south-central Pennsylvania. Its location places it within reach of golfers from the Philadelphia and Harrisburg metropolitan areas seeking traditional parkland-style golf in a rural setting.

Getting there

Hawk Valley Golf Club sits in the rolling farmland of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, most easily reached via Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), roughly ninety minutes southeast by car, or alternatively through Harrisburg International (MDT), a more direct seventy-minute drive west. The route unfolds through the gentle topography of southeastern Pennsylvania - past the ordered fields and quiet roads that define Amish country - before arriving at the club's manicured grounds nestled among the region's characteristic limestone ridges and pastoral valleys. For those with access to private aviation, Lancaster Airport (LNS) offers a considerably more intimate arrival, situated just twenty minutes from the property. The final miles dissolve the bustle of the broader region entirely, delivering you to a setting where the architecture of the course itself becomes inseparable from the undulating Pennsylvania landscape that surrounds it.
