The Country Club of Harrisburg is the oldest established private club in the Central Pennsylvania area. It was founded in 1896 by a distinguished list of Harrisburg business leaders seeking the social and sports amenities of country club life for themselves and their families. The Country Club of Harrisburg is built on the foothills of the Blue Mountains, high above the Susquehanna River in scenic Fishing Creek Valley, just ten minutes from Harrisburg and convenient to both East Shore and West Shore locations. Members of the Country Club of Harrisburg enjoy a resort-like atmosphere featuring a large, English Manor-style clubhouse and well-groomed grounds that include a challenging 18-hole William Flynn golf course with a fully stocked golf shop, driving range, putting greens, and sand practice areas; heated swimming pool with bathhouse and snack bar; har-tru tennis courts with pro shop; hiking trails; and family picnic areas. The Country Club of Harrisburg, a family friendly club, offers members and their children a variety of sports and social activities throughout the year, including an active swim team for youth, tennis events for all, active golf league participation for men and women, and an active youth golf program.
