Pennsylvania Golf Courses : York County
Created on August 19, 1749, from part of Lancaster County and named either for the Duke of York, an early patron of the Penn family, or for the city and shire of York in England. The name may have been suggested by the proximity to Lancaster County, as the names are used together often in English history. York, the county seat, was laid out in 1741 and incorporated as a borough on September 24, 1787. It was chartered as a city on January 11, 1887. Pennsylvania’s 1736 purchase from the Iroquois encompassed this area. The town of York was termed (Yorktown) in the colonial period. Cresap’s War showed Maryland’s desire to have the area, but it was yielded in 1760, and the matter finalized by the Mason-Dixon Line. York was the capital of the U.S. from September 1777 to June 1778, where the Articles of Confederation were adopted. Agriculturally abundant from the start, York was very productive in corn, wheat, hemp, and whiskey. There was a canal from York to the Susquehanna in 1833. Five railroads served the county, and in the 1920s the Lincoln Highway boosted truck transportation. Products could be sold in both the Philadelphia and Baltimore markets and, later on, Pittsburgh as well. Early iron manufacturing did not lead to steel making but spawned metal products specialties such as farm implements that are still productive. Cigar making was a leading business until the 1930s. Wagonmaking led to truck, auto, and railroad car manufacture. Building water wheels led to making turbines. Papermaking began early, followed by a printing industry. Ice cutting spawned refrigeration and air conditioners. Confections, safe vaults, barbells, quarried slate, chains, organs and pianos, rope, and silk were produced. Inventors and innovators gravitated toward York. High-speed steel, metal building panels and the Jeep were conceived here. The (York Plan) was a World War II system for cooperation to mobilize small industry to win the war; it was replayed for the Korean War. Deindustrialization has been less severe than other Pennsylvania industrial counties, although local ownership dropped. York is the sixth Pennsylvania county in value added to the economy from manufactures. Farms cover 48 percent of the land. Long the second most productive farm county (behind Lancaster), it is now seventh. About half the county is farmed; York is second only to Lancaster in number of farms. It is the leader in wheat and soybeans, and strong in corn, hogs, cattle, fruit and sheep. Now it’s time to see all the Great Pennsylvania golf courses in York County.

This course, located in a wooded area, originally opened as a private club, but went public in the 1950's. The greens are sloped and fast. The most difficult hole is 13, a 394-yard, par 4, which requires you to carry a creek off the tee and hit a narrow landing area. Out-of-bounds is located on the right, and your second shot is uphill to a small green with out-of-bounds behind the green.

This course, situated in a valley, features rolling terrain with plenty of natural contour. The well-undulated, tricky greens are conservatively-sized, while the fairways tend to vary in width. The signature hole is 13, a 343-yard, par 4, featuring a dogleg right fairway that plays downhill and over a creek to a double-tiered green. The personnel stated that this facility had the best driving range in the country.

Pennsylvania Golf Courses Comments:
This club has three nine hole courses that are played in three eighteen hole combinations. The North and South courses play longer than the new West Course. However, the signature hole is 4 on the West course, a 339-yard, par 4, requiring an accurate tee shot, then an approach shot over water to the green. The terrain is hilly, so you can expect some interesting lies in the fairways. Water hazards come into play on twelve holes, and the narrow fairways are tree lined. The greens are fast and difficult to read. The new West Course has some of the largest greens in the area, and the 5 hole requires a shot to an island green.
