Exceptionally friendly staff and well-maintained fairways consistently impress golfers, even through dry stretches. A varied layout with challenging par 3s and plentiful doglegs offers outstanding value compared to courses in the area.

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.

Beautiful course but the pace of play was too slow

First time playing there. It is a beautiful course with great conditions in May. The putting greens were all going very fast and very difficult to read the breaks at least us and the pace of green were very very slow. I don’t know which group was holding up the pace. We finish 18 holes in five hours which I consider is very slow.

I love the layout of this course. It is a solid combination of challenging holes with enough moderate holes mixed in to make it fun.

As of mid-April 2026, the ground is hard, as we have had little rain this spring.

The staff is great to work with and extremely friendly.

Stunning Course

You’d think for the price it would be an okay course. NO! It is absolutely high end for price point! Green roll great, fairway is beautiful and overall I was very impressed with this course and their staff. I will absolutely come back to this course when I can.

Good public course

I had never played Deer Valley, but will definitely be back. The rate was reasonable, the staff was friendly, and the course layout was good. The course from the white tees plays about 5500 yards, so its a little shorter than most, which suits my senior game just fine. It was nice to be hitting middle and short irons towards the green instead of long irons and hybrids.
