Rating 74.1

The Links at Gettysburg sprawls across rolling hills situated near the hallowed grounds where the defining battle of the Civil War took place. The golf course wages a formidable challenge itself, featuring 35 steep rock cliffs where the stone-lined tee boxes are perched and 10 lakes and waterfalls that come into play throughout. Red rock cart paths give a contrast to the lush greens and sparkling blue waters. The dramatic elevations allow golfers to enjoy stunning views of the surrounding countryside but the scenery can be almost too distracting since the demanding layout requires all of your attention. Be prepared for a bevy of strategically placed bunkers as well as mature trees. With the challenging layout and unrivaled views, it is no surprise that the Links at Gettysburg is ranked as one of the top 10 golf courses in Pennsylvania.

Always Interesting...And Never Boring

I try to play the Links at Gettysburg a couple of times a year, but this was my first time this year (2023). I love the layout of this course--you simply won't get bored with the "same old, same old," as every hole is different, interesting, and requires some thought around where to place your ball. The first two holes are pretty short, but don't let that fool you...there's plenty to consider about shot shape, the distance in for your second shot to the green, and making sure you carry the ditches. You turn the corner to go to #3 and see a short par 3 with what looks like a "red rock" cliff behind the green. Always a stunner--even when you know what to expect--because you simply don't expect this look in PA. Same with #8--"red rock" cliffs. Just beautiful. I think the front is more visually beautiful, except for #18 with the waterfall on the cliff behind the green. The back, though, is a bit harder with so much water in play and the narrowing of the landing zones--have to think about where to place the ball and more thought to course management. #12 is another short par 3 with a beautiful bridge (and the one in many of their course photos). There are a lot of risk/reward holes, but do give consideration to course management to save you some shots. My only major concern today was pace of play...a small group in front of us that were just slow. Took 5 hours today and didn't need to. It was cart path only due to the overnight rain, but it still didn't need to take the many hours.

Never Disappoints

Used the Tee Time Pass. This course never disappoints. Always in great shape. Earlier in the year the pace of play was horrible (4:45). This time the pace of play was excellent. Coming from Leesburg, VA it's an easy drive. Try to play it 3 to 4 times a year.

Never Disappoints; Always in Great Shape

Play this course at least 3 to 4 times each year. If I lived a half hour away, I would be a member. Great mix of holes. Beautiful setting. If you have never played Gettysburg you definitely need to.

Great layout for a challenge

This course is always a place to measure your best skills. The course challenges all of your clubs, depth perception and accuracy. There is little room for error on many holes. Each hole is unique and fun and offers its own test. There are birdies out there just stay patient.

Challenging Course and LOVE IT

Staff at the course were very friendly and inviting. The course were very challenging and fun. Kind a addicting. The condition of the course were excellent throughout. Bring plenty of extra balls as course either front or back 9 has plenty of hazards. You definitely will use all the clubs in the bag to create accurate shots. Again, very fun and challenging course to be remembered.

Tough course but fun!!

Tight fairways and plenty of hazards on each every hole but it is pure FUN at best. Very challenging course for ALL player level. Placing each shot is must. You will be using ALL the clubs in your bag and will loose few balls in the hazzards. The course is tough but addictingly fun. Definitely worth revisiting.

L@G - worth the drive

L@G offers an interesting layout, frequent elevation changes, and a nice mix of holes. There are opportunities for big hitters as well as for those who prefer the precision part of the game. The greens run at an average speed and the conditions are very good. Most importantly, the staff ensure a good pace of play is maintained. I highly recommend L@G.
