Sportsman's Golf CourseHarrisburg, Pennsylvania - 717-545-0023 www.sportsmansgolfcourse.com Sportsman's, an 18 hole public golf course was built in 1965. It is a slightly rolling course having four holes with tight fairways; water comes into play on seven others. The most demanding hole is number 14, a 635-yard, par five. Course Details Scorecard Reviews/Comments I do not see the hype with this course. The greens were filled with ball marks and the fairways are burned. Looks like one big yellow mess. In the same area Daughin Highlands in Harrisburg has better views, same money and a better overall experience. I was not impressed. I feel that the maintenance crew do the best job they can fighting mother nature all year round north east courses are hard to keep in as nice shape as sportsmans is. it is a picturesque lay out and the people at the bar and proshop do a nice job of making you feel like you belong.It is a challenging golf course that's why people sometime say it is not in good shape because they score less at an easier golf course. keep things just like they are nice job staff !! The scenery is the best part of this course . The layout, maintenance and certainly the hospitality are all below average. Robert, you really need to give some of the other courses in the area a try. There are definitely nicer courses for the money. I live right around the corner from Sportsman's and have always felt that it was far to expensive for the state the course is in. Check out Deer Valley for example, it's not quite as difficult as Sportsman's but I for one thing it is a far "nicer" course, it's also only about 15 minutes from Sportsman's. If you're up for a little more of a drive (30 minutes from Sportsman's) Iron Valley is great and a fair bit more challenging than Sportsman's, just played there for the first time last week. Don't get me wrong Sportsman's is ok, but I think there are some nicer options in the area. I live in Salisbury, MD. I come to Harrisburg 4 or 5 time a year to visit my wife's mother, regardless to the season, I make it a habit to play Sportsman's Golf Course. When I finish playing here, I return to MD and seem to play a whole lot better because Sportsman's is a tough course compared to the Maryland courses I play. Keep up the great work. Sportsman's is worth the 200+ miles I drive to get there. See ya Memorial Day weekend!!!! Location 3800 Linglestown Rd Harrisburg, PA 17110 Get Directions Nearby Courses:
