Detailed description

Links At Gettysburg is a Public, 18 hole golf course located in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

The Links At Gettysburg first opened for play in 1999. The course was designed by Lindsay Ervin.

This course is nestled in the rolling Pennsylvania hillside. The course enjoys scenic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the rolling terrain gives way to wide open fairways. The generous, very undulating greens are receptive and play very true. Several of the greens are cut directly from the surrounding red-rock cliffs, including #3, an 187-yard, par 3.  This hole features a dramatic change in elevation from the tee to green, and a 35-foot cliff serves as a dramatic backdrop.undulating greens are receptive and play very true. 

Par for the course is 72. From the back tees, the course plays to 7,031 yards. From the forward tees, the course measures 4,861 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 7, a par-5 that plays to 600 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 12, a par-3 that plays to 163 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 7, the 600-yard par-5 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 12, the 163 yard par-3.

#3, an 187-yard par 3 is the signature hole. You hit from an elevated tee to a large undulating green that fronts a red rock cliff. Hit the ball too far and you'll find the large trap in front of the cliff. Leave it short and you'll hit the creek in front of the green. 

 #7 is a 600 yard par-5, with large lake water hazards left and right, guarding a narrow fairway.

#13, 14 and 15 are The Links at Gettysburg’s “Amen Corner” equivalent.

#13 is a 450 yard par 4 guarded by a large lake to the left and a river to the right. Keep it straight and you'll have a chance to hit the green in regulation, but the large undulating surface makes 3 putts very possible.

#14 is a 589-yard par 5 with a river running the length of the hole on the left. Keep it right and you'll have a chance for par if you can avoid the greenside bunkers.

#15 is the longest par 3 on the course, 233 yards from the tips to a large trap guarded green with water running down the left side of the hole and trees to the right. Play it right to avoid the water and use enough club to reach the green.

#18 is a shorter par 5 and an eagle opportunity, but only if you can avoid the ponds on the left and right and three bunkers that guard the left side of the green. A large red rock wall lines the back of the green with the clubhouse above, presenting the opportunity for a dramatic finish to a friendly gallery.
