Deer Valley Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Fix the pace of play and I will come back
Decent course, 40-45 minute drive for me so probably wont come back for a while but its definitely not off the table.
Pace of play was a little slow, had to wait on every tee. Not a big deal for me until the course Marshall comes around on hole 15 and tells us to pick up the pace even though we wait for every hole. Definitely need to space out the tee times a little more.
Minor complaint, a lot of the fairways were close together with only a small line of trees between. This was worse on some holes than others where balls were landing on our fairway and on one hole someone's ball landed on our green, while we were on the green.
Cons: Pace of play, holes are all very close to eachother
course review
good course that you can have a good time on. Played with a buddy and we will always come back. 10/10 recommend.
Great Course, but too many slow weekend golfers
I love playing Deer Valley. The course is always in great shape and normally the pace of play is good. Unfortunately, there are too many weekend golfers that don't understand the concept of "ready golf". During the week you can easily play a round in less than 4 hours. On the weekend, it's over 4 1/2 hours. There are no rangers out on the course moving people along. You often see groups one or two holes behind the group in front. I will continue to play at Deer Valley, just not on the weekend.
Neil - appreciate the review and feedback!
Fun local course. Needs to pick up the pace.
4 hours and 20 minutes to play...You can do better! Fun course and great conditions but, slow play is one of the reasons people give up this game. Unfortunately, this course is not alone in this regard, as many of the courses in the area suffer from the same symptoms of slow play. To the grounds keepers credit, Deer Valley is in phenomenal condition. Certainly one of the best in the area.
Thank you Mr. Vargas for recognizing the "phenomenal condition" of the course. Our grounds crew is the BEST! And, yep, pace of play can be a challenge at a lot of courses. Hope to see you again soon.
Great round of golf
The course is very well maintained. The pin placement was challenging. Fairways were amazing.
Pace was a little slow due to groups ahead of us.
Thanks, Bulletman25!
third time back.
We travel in RV and while staying at Hershey RV park found this on gold now.. a guy staying in the park was a golfer and we played the course twice in june 2020 (covid).. when we returned to area this june 2022 played again .. and when we return back through later in aug I will play again..
great course great condition and great bent grass greens.
That's pretty neat, Chimney, and thank you for the 5 star review. Happy RV travels!
Thank you for the 5 stars! We're working hard to earn that.
Solid
Always enjoy playing here. The quality of golf for the price you pay never disappoints. $30 to walk a weekend morning? Can’t beat that.
This is great to hear. Thank you so much and hope you enjoy many more weekend walks over the course.
Deer. Alley
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.
Excellent
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.
Thank you for the 5 stars and hope you enjoyed your time in the Hummelstown/Hershey/ Harrisburg area.
Great deal
Great price, fun course with great fairways and friendly staff!
Hey, thank you for the 5 stars and shout out to our staff. Yes, they are really GREAT!
