About
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
Thank you for the 5 stars! DVGC
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.
Thanks for this thoughtful feedback. Point well taken. Hope to see you again soon! DVGC
Thanks again for the 5 stars, Papetersen!
I’d like to say you won’t like it at all 😂!
This course is a favorite of mine and I’d love to keep it all to myself. But the staff is wonderful and the course is the perfect blend of challenge and fun so I can’t hold back.
There are five par 5 holes that keep it interesting as well as two par 3s that are a bit tricky. The beauty and the wildlife that frequent the fairways increase the enjoyment of every round. The fairways are in good condition and the greens are moderately fast. I personally like that pace as greens that are too fast can steal my joy with the same speed.
The course is often busy but the pace is about what you’ll find anywhere else which is why I give it a four for the value. I don’t want to be pushed if I’m having a difficult round but I do have issues with extremely slow play when people are hitting three or more tee shots or letting small children play out the hole with no regard for players behind them. It’s a hard line for any course and I don’t know that there’s an easy answer but it keeps my review at a four.
I love the challenge of the course and the holes that offer a chance at redemption. This is one of my top three courses and well worth a trip if you’re not lucky enough to live in central Pennsylvania.
Many thanks for the 5 stars and taking the time to write such a detailed review. Everyone at Deer Valley has been working really hard to earn that, and we sure do look forward to seeing you again soon!
Hey, thanks for the 5 stars!!
awesome day
course was in great shape. killed at least 10 lantern bugs and even had several pars and a birdie!
That's wonderful, hcminnick. Thanks for the 5 stars!
Thanks for the 5 stars, kecosero!
Great day beyond the starter
The starter is always overly aggressive and when you show up 30 minutes early to warm up, the guy tries to force us to pair up with another group and when we tell him we came to play at our tee time and needed to warm up he was visibly flusteres and irrate with us. He then proceeded to disregard any cues on pairing and put 2 of us younger gentleman that hit actively in the 80's from the furthest tees with 2 elderly ladies. Amazing ladies but we in no way got a quick round in like we expected.
Hey Garrettg76, thank you for the feedback. We get it and sorry about that! Hope to see you again soon. DVGC
Bang for ur buck !
Best weekend rate in the world $25.00 after 11 (using Teetime book). Staff great at working with you to get on course. Fairways best in area for hitting irons.
And a great chance of seeing deer on course.
Thanks so much for your 5-star amazing review! Our crew has been putting in a lot of extra effort on the fairways, and we appreciate you recognizing how great they look!
Bang for your buck !
The course is in great shape even though we are just finishing a long drought. Best fairways in area for hitting irons. Nowhere else in the world can you play on a Sat/Sun after 11 for $25.00 (using a Teetime book) and I’ve played in over 50 countries.
Hey, thanks for the 5 stars and recognizing how great our course looks right now despite the loooong dry and hot spell! Our superintendent has put in a lot of extra effort. Really appreciate your review!
