Par Line Golf Course

Par Line Golf Course sits in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, a small borough in Lancaster County roughly fifteen miles southeast of Harrisburg. Designed by Roy Sauder, the course serves the south-central Pennsylvania golfing community in a region characterized by rolling farmland and a mix of agricultural and residential development. The layout reflects the practical, accessible design approach common to many mid-Atlantic daily-fee facilities built to accommodate a range of skill levels. The course occupies terrain typical of the Lancaster County area, where gentle elevation changes and open land allow for straightforward routing. Sauder's design work in Pennsylvania generally emphasizes playability and maintenance efficiency, qualities suited to courses serving local and regional golfers rather than destination play. Par Line operates as a public facility, providing golf in a community where the sport coexists with the area's strong agricultural heritage and proximity to both Harrisburg and Lancaster. Elizabethtown itself lies within a corridor that has seen steady growth as part of the greater Harrisburg metropolitan area, and courses like Par Line serve both residents and visitors exploring the region. The setting lacks dramatic topography but offers the open, pastoral character common to much of southeastern Pennsylvania. The course functions as a neighborhood amenity in an area where golf remains accessible and unpretentious, catering to everyday play rather than tournament competition or national recognition.
