Golf in Hanover

Hanover is Adams County's second city, a manufacturing and retail hub near the Maryland border in the county's southern tier. Utz, Snyder's of Hanover, and other snack food companies have given the city a particular culinary identity — Hanover is sometimes called 'the snack food capital of the world,' a designation both modest and well-earned. The surrounding Adams County agricultural land produces the grain crops and fruit orchards that have defined the economy here since colonial settlement, and the Civil War battlefield at Gettysburg fourteen miles north shapes regional tourism. Hanover's position near the Mason-Dixon Line gives it a border-country character; the Maryland suburbs of Baltimore are accessible enough that some Hanover commuters work in both states. Golf in the Hanover area draws from the city's population and the agricultural townships that spread through southern Adams County toward the state line.
