The Country Club of York

Overview: The Country Club of York is a traditional Donald Ross course in York, Pennsylvania. The current 18-hole routing is listed at par 72 and 6,785 yards, with a mature parkland setting and the compact strategic features associated with Ross-era design. The course’s appeal is its balance of natural tree cover, positional fairways and carefully defended greens.

History: The club was founded in 1899, while the current golf course dates to 1926. The Pennsylvania Golf Association identifies Donald Ross as the architect and records the present par and championship yardage. That distinction matters because the club’s institutional history predates the current 18-hole course by several decades.

Did You Know? The club has two different dates in its golf story: the Country Club of York was founded in 1899, but the present course dates to 1926. That is why the course history and the club history are not interchangeable.
