Royal Manchester Golf Links ☆ Follow

Royal Manchester Golf Links is a public 18-hole layout in Mt Wolf, Pennsylvania—minutes from York and an easy drive from Harrisburg and Lancaster. The 18-hole course features 6,962 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72 and was designed by Tim Freeland, opening in 2010. Its 73.6 course rating and 127 slope rating speak to its balanced blend of playability and difficulty.

Envisioned in the tradition of the Old Course at Saint Andrews and Royal Lytham and Saint Anne's Golf Club, this par 72 championship links-style layout sends you to the coast of the British Isles and its famous seaside courses while never leaving York County, PA. The course features rolling hills and generous bentgrass fairways and greens, as well as a first class practice facility, year round teaching academy and a knowledgeable staff. The 18-hole golf course blends playable design with strategic shot values—wide views, well-placed bunkers, and greens that reward confident putting, with each set of tees offering a fair test and pace-of-play.

Like the Old Course at St. Andrews and Royal Latham, which served as the inspiration, the golf course has an open, windswept landscape with only two bodies of water. Royal Manchester Golf Club finishes with a memorable view of its signature waterfall that cascades down into a sparkling pond. Royal Manchester's reputation has earned Golf Advisor's Top Pennsylvania Golf Course award multiple times—2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018—and securing the coveted #1 ranking in 2019.
