Tree Top Golf Course

Tree Top Golf Course in Manheim, Pennsylvania, opened in the early 1970s as a daily-fee facility designed by Robert Hummer with later involvement from Ken Brown and Tom Brown. The course sits in Lancaster County's rolling farmland, where the terrain provides natural elevation changes and the routing takes advantage of the area's mature tree cover. The layout reflects the straightforward design sensibilities of its era, with tree-lined fairways that demand accuracy off the tee and greens that vary in size and contour. The course plays through a mix of open and wooded sections, with several holes offering views across the surrounding agricultural landscape. Water comes into play on a handful of holes, typically in the form of ponds that guard approach shots or frame landing areas. The design emphasizes position over distance, rewarding players who can navigate the tree corridors and avoid the trouble that pinches in on errant shots. Tree Top serves the central Pennsylvania golfing community as an accessible option for recreational play. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse with basic amenities typical of regional daily-fee courses. Its location near Manheim places it within reach of golfers from Lancaster, Harrisburg, and the surrounding towns, and the course has maintained a steady presence in the area's golf scene for several decades.
