About this course

Royal Manchester Golf Links, nestled in the rolling Pennsylvania landscape near Mt. Wolf, isn’t just a golf course; it's a spirited homage to the traditions of the game. This links-style layout, evokes the spirit of classic Scottish courses with its undulating fairways and strategic bunkering. The course's open nature means the wind is always a factor, rewarding thoughtful strategy over brute force, and a slight fade is often rewarded on several holes. Architect Jim Fazio sculpted this course in 1990, weaving its challenges through the natural contours of the land. While Royal Manchester may not be a regular fixture on professional tour schedules, its appeal lies in the pure golfing experience it offers, a chance to test one's game against the elements and a well-designed course. The club’s membership cherishes its unpretentious atmosphere. It's a place where the focus is on enjoying the game and the camaraderie of fellow players. A testament to the club's spirit is their annual member-guest tournament, a lively affair known for its spirited competition and post-round revelry. Royal Manchester offers an authentic golfing experience, a chance to escape the ordinary and embrace the timeless allure of the game.

Getting there

Royal Manchester Golf Links sits in the rolling farmland of central Pennsylvania, most readily accessed via Harrisburg International Airport (MDT), roughly forty minutes south by car through the gentle Susquehanna River valley. For those preferring private aviation, Lancaster Airport (LNS) offers a closer alternative, nestled just twenty minutes northeast amid the region's pastoral landscape. The final approach winds through the quiet countryside of Mount Wolf, where the transition from state highway to tree-lined club drive signals arrival at a sanctuary of championship golf set apart from the bustle of the eastern corridor.
