LANCASTER HOST GOLF RESORT
🇺🇸 Lancaster, PA, USA
Designed by Bill Gordon, David Gordon
Lancaster Host Golf Resort stands as a testament to mid-century resort golf, a sprawling layout that once drew vacationers seeking sunshine and a leisurely round just east of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The original routing, crafted in the 1960s, unfolds across gently rolling terrain, a classic parkland design with mature trees defining many fairways. While not a brute, Lancaster Host favors players who can work the ball, its doglegs and strategically placed bunkers rewarding thoughtful course management over sheer power.
The resort's heyday saw it as a popular destination for regional golfers and families alike. Its legacy is more about providing accessible and enjoyable golf for the masses than chasing championship pedigree. It is an ideal destination for social outing or a leisurely day, but may not always appeal to the serious golfer.
While not a fixture on any professional tour calendars, Lancaster Host retains a loyal local following. Its uncomplicated charm and manageable challenge continue to make it a popular choice for casual rounds and group outings in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country. This historic course continues to offer a welcoming and affordable experience for players of all abilities.
