Thinking About Living in Country Club of York?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Country Club of York and the surrounding Harrisburg, Hershey, Lancaster & York golf market.
The Country Club of York was founded in 1899, making it one of Pennsylvania's oldest private clubs, and its 1927-28 course was designed by Donald Ross -- restored in 2007 by Ron Forse, the same architect who restored Lancaster Country Club that year. The club's tournament history includes four U.S. Women's Amateur Championships (historical) and hosting the Pennsylvania State Open in both 2014 and 2023, giving it real championship-golf credentials alongside its design pedigree.
Like the Country Club of Harrisburg, this is an old-guard, freestanding private club rather than the anchor of a purpose-built subdivision -- its residential relevance comes from sitting inside an established, desirable York neighborhood informally known by the club's own name (streets in the area include Country Club Road itself, plus Springettsbury Avenue, Edgewood Drive, and others) rather than from any bundled golf-community product.
Golf & Course
The course was designed by Donald Ross and opened in 1927-28, with a 2007 restoration by Ron Forse that recovered much of the original Ross-era character.

What Buyers Should Verify

- Confirm current membership category structure and waitlist status.
- No bundled residential community was found -- verify independently if evaluating a nearby property on the strength of implied club access.
