Lykens Valley Golf Course
About Lykens Valley Golf Course
Lykens Valley Golf Course sits just east of Millersburg, a short drive from downtown Harrisburg, spread across 6,300 yards of Central Pennsylvania countryside. The setting takes in rolling hills, streams and wooded valleys.
Designed by Harlan Willis, the 18-hole layout plays as two distinct nines, with elevation changes, water, sharp doglegs and assorted natural hazards shaping the challenge for players of varying ability. Its toughest holes are generally considered the long dogleg par-4 3rd and the par-3 10th, which asks for a forced carry of about 200 yards over water.
