Pennsylvania golf course closed down to make way for AI data center

Dauphin Highlands Golf Course in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, closed its doors for the final time after 28 years of operation, marking the end of an era for local golfers. The public course, designed by Bill Love, was sold for $45 million to Harrisburg I LLC, a deal that paved the way for Corscale’s planned $10.5 billion Highlands data center campus on the site.

The redevelopment, set to begin in 2027 with completion expected by 2028, has sparked mixed reactions, with developers offering a $120 million community benefits package to Swatara Township—a sum six times the township’s annual budget. For golf enthusiasts like Doc Greenlee, who grew up playing the course, the closure is bittersweet, as Dauphin Highlands was widely regarded as one of the best public courses in the region.

The final round of play on Monday drew emotional farewells, with many reflecting on the course’s legacy and the loss of a cherished local landmark.
