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.

Good value for money. Not the most difficult course but great views and some challenges with elevation. It was a bit slow (5 hours riding) but it was a holiday. I’ll be back.

What a great little course to play on and score well on. Fairways, tee boxes, and greens were all in great shape. The absence of sand traps and few hazards means a frustration free round with a decent score. Wish we lived in the area so we could play it more often.

I always like playing Deer Valley. It's a nice layout and the course is usually in good condition. However the last time I played there the rough had not been cut,which made it difficult to find my ball and the greens were very slow. Let's hope it was just due to rain the previous day
