Pennsylvania Golf Courses : Lancaster County
Created on May 10, 1729 from part of Chester County and named for Lancashire, England. Lancaster, the county seat, also named for its English counterpart, was laid out in 1730. It was chartered as a borough on May 1, 1742 and as a city on March 10, 1818. The area was rapidly settled after 1709 by a mix of peoples: Swiss Mennonites, Huguenots, Scotch-Irish, English, Welsh, and Rhineland Germans. This was the first new county since the original three of 1682. Its rich limestone soil meant farming had to prosper. Coupled with the charitable humanitarianism of its religious values there developed a tradition that the poor could find opportunity here, (the buttermilk way). Before 1776, Lancaster was the largest inland city in Britain’s American colonies. The decade 1800-1810 was stagnant, but then new enterprises began: gristmills, limeburning, and iron. A turnpike linked Lancaster to Philadelphia in 1800, and the Columbia and Philadelphia Railroad opened in 1834. The Conestoga Slackwater Canal facilitated trade with Baltimore. In the late nineteenth century there was a manufacturing take off including: cigars, cotton and silk cloth, beer, stoves, watches and clocks, and farm tools. The county ceasedmanufacturing iron. In this century, Armstrong Cork, R.C.A., Raybestos, Sperry-Rand, and Kerr Glass Company prospered, and some of the garments industry continues. Always Pennsylvania’s most prolific agricultural county, two-thirds of Lancaster County is farmland; animal products make up over 90 percent of farm cash receipts. Only the high prices paid for Chester County’s mushrooms compete with the cash returns from Lancaster’s harvests. The Christiana Riots against slavery in 1851. Lancaster was the home of Congressman Thaddeus Stevens who led the movement for justice for African Americans. Let’s see the Pennsylvania golf courses in Lancaster County.

Pennsylvania Golf Courses Comments:
This course was build on the site of an old farm. It's a links-style design with few trees, but plenty of man-made lakes. This is a unique course to the area. Most of the nearby courses are traditionally wooded in design. The greens are large and quick, and the fairways are open. The signature hole is 18, a 307-yard, par 4, which calls for an iron off the tee. This short par 4 has water skirting the left of the hole and trees and rough on the left. A creek crosses the green, which is raised with a stone wall at the front. Overall, this course is in excellent condition.

Pennsylvania Golf Courses Comments:
This exclusive private club offers three nine hole courses that can be played in three eighteen hole combinations, as well as a seven hole course that is often played by beginning players. However, the seven hole course is not to be taken lightly since the holes are of regulation length and difficulty. The original Meadow Creek/Dogwood Course includes strategically placed sand bunkers and all of the other qualities that make the other nine hole course so outstanding. The three nine hole courses were built on rolling terrain and have a river flowing through the middle of the design, which comes into play on fifteen holes.

This scenic course overlooks southern Lancaster county. Some holes are links-style designs, while others are more traditional because they play between tree lines. Locals claim that you will use every club in your bag on this course. The well-manicured greens average over 6,000 square feet in size. This course was designed with the more advanced golfer in mind, so beware. Water hazards (lakes, creeks, and streams) come into play on nine holes.
