The
Pennsylvania Open in 2002 and 2007, local qualifying for the 2008 U.S. Women's Open, and many amateur tournaments have also been held at the club. The course was designed by
William Flynn. Wayne Morrison, Flynn historian and author of
The Nature Faker, named the Lancaster Country Club as Flynn's first great golf course. Lancaster has three distinct nine-hole
courses named Meadowcreek, Dogwood, and Highlands. The Old Course, which the U.S. Women's Open was contested, is made up of the Meadowcreek and Dogwood nines. In 2007, golf architects Ron Forse and Jim Nagle restored Lancaster's design back to Flynn's original plans. The club is located outside the northeast limits of Lancaster city, partly in
Manheim Township and (across the
Conestoga River) partly in
East Lampeter Township, both in
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. ==References==
