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.

Always in great condition

I play 30+ rounds there annually. Always in GREAT shape, drains well, almost never any “cart path only” holes. No sand traps (probably a benefit for winter golf), but numerous front and green side grass bunkers. Super well maintained. Modest clubhouse, but very reasonably priced beer and hotdogs. Very friendly staff. Great value.

Hi Jonathan,
Ouch - our lowest review of the year! With it being Dec. 16th, DV is not as lush green as earlier in the season, but we are thrilled that so many folks were able to enjoy a round on a beautiful December day.

First time

We got paired up with a great twosome who were very helpful with giving the course layout for us. But apparently it was getting set up for a tournament as our tees were further back than normal and the greens were very difficult to read. Either way, we had a great time and will definitely be coming back. Pace of play was fantastic for a Friday morning. Almost broke 100 lol
