LANCASTER HOST GOLF COURSE

The rolling Pennsylvania Dutch farmland creates natural elevation changes that architect Jim Harrison exploited brilliantly, particularly on the downhill par-4 7th where your approach shot drops 40 feet to a green guarded by an old stone wall. Water comes into play on half the holes without feeling forced, and the mature oak and maple canopy provides blessed relief during humid Lancaster County summers. This public gem proves you don't need resort amenities when the bones of the golf course are this solid.
