The Links at Gettysburg

Fayetteville, PA · 18 mi away

The Founders Course at Penn National Golf Club sits on former farmland and iron-ore mining ground in Fayetteville, Pennsylvania, in the shadow of South Mountain. Edmund Ault laid out the course in 1966, and it opened for play in 1968 as a Northeastern-style design with large contoured greens and tree-lined fairways. A 7-acre lake affects play on several holes on both nines, and the course was updated with a bunker and tee renovation in 2006. The par-72 layout stretches to nearly 6,970 yards from the back tees. Founders operates as a semi-private course alongside its sister layout, Iron Forge, with an on-site inn and golf shop supporting daily play and stay-and-play packages.

York, PA · 23 mi away

Briarwood Golf Club is a 36-hole facility in a rural setting in the rolling hills of south central Pennsylvania, near York. The original course, now known as the East course, was built by the Leatherman family, starting with Bill and Ken Leatherman, who began construction in 1960 on land that had been a turkey farm. The East course opened for play in July 1963, named for briar trees found on the property; nearly all the fairway trees were hand planted. A second nine, the West course, opened in 1990, and a five-hole short course, the Final Five, was designed by Bill Love in 1992. The facility includes a clubhouse, pro shop and practice areas, and remains open to the public.
