Deer Valley Golf Course in Hummelstown boasts one of the most affordable rounds you'll find in the Hershey/Harrisburg area. Since opening in 2005, more than 850 trees have been added and it has matured into a course favored by both visitors and locals. The layout features large, elevated greens and massive multi-tiered tees. From the golf course's peaks, the views stretch all the way to Hershey and the Blue Mountains. The winding layout twists and turns, doglegging left and right. It's a challenging layout round despite the absence of sand bunkers. There is however, thick rough and a number of grass bunkers to watch out for. Water only makes a brief appearance. Deer Valley Golf Course isn't overly challenging but for a fun and fair test, it's an affordable option that also offers some beautiful scenery.

Amazing

This is a great course. Very well maintained. No sand traps. Just beautiful greens, tee boxes, and fairways. Every staff member was very nice. If I had one complaint it would be them trying to pair me with another group. But every golf course tries to do this. When I respectfully denied to be paired and said I play at a fast paced he let me go to play my own game. This place is a 5 out of 5. Going back there again on saturday

Great layout

Only one big problem. #'s 11 & 12 need a bell or something to tell players behind them when it's OK to hit second shot on 11 & tee shot on 12. Otherwise, great course.
