South Mountain Golf Course
This is to inform you that the DCNR(*) doesn’t want to renew the lease
for the golf course. The lease expires 12/31/2025. They feel YOU
the public don’t need the course and they have better plans for it.
This course has been in the George family for over 60 years with
the help of others along the way.

Zehler
With thousands of rounds of golf played here each year, Leagues,
Groups, Businesses, Charitable groups and organizations hold their
events. Why do they come? They come because of the Friendly Staff,
Scenic Views and the reasonable rates to play. (always looking for
that Bear to come back)
In the meeting with Roy Brubaker
(717-352-2211) , these are some of their plans for the property.
Move their offices from Caledonia and construct a new building on
the Golf Course site.
Year-round access to beginner to moderate share use trail loop
systems
Access to and interpretation historical sites and landscape
features proximal to the lease site.
Large group outdoor and conservation education programming.
Restoration and provision of high quality grassland, wetland and
old field habitats.
In a previous meeting discussing the
Golf Course, we were told that we would be allowed to speak as well
as the public in front of the Committee before a decision would be
made about lease of the course. That never happened.
Sometimes the Government isn’t correct on their decision. WE the
Public need to take a stand and voice our opinion on not renewing
the lease of SMGC . YOU can make a difference. Please sign the
petition that is at the golf course, at Social Clubs, Professional
Organizations, Religious Centers and Businesses. If you would like one
for people to sign, you can pick one up at the golf course.
There will be a Town Hall Meeting scheduled with the DCNR Wednesday October 18th @ 5:00 PM

We have lost several other golf courses
in the area over the past several years that people loved to play.
Don’t let SMGC be next. WE need to take a STAND.
If you can help or know someone that
can, Please contact us at the Course 717-749-3286.
Thanks to all that signed the Petition
and that are helping to pass the word. We will keep you
posted.
Dave, Richard, Donnie Andy and Staff.
