Course Highlights
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.

The course and staff are awesome. Tough times during the virus shutdown but the ownership

Did what they have to do to open. My only complaint is for the app. I paid for cart rental but the golf course had it as walking. The confirmation on my phone didn’t say walking or riding. I paid the extra $10 without argument. The staff had enough to deal with without me throwing a fit. It would be nice if the confirmation shows walking or riding

Fun Round

Neat course, good mix of Par 3’s, 4’s, & 5’s. Greens are challenging, but not impossible. Owner was super friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.

Very friendly and helpful staff

Bill and his dog are both excellent! The staff is friendly and they all try to be helpful.

No sand on the course helps scoring and pace of play. I went out solo today and was not held up at all which is always great to do a sub 3 hour round but do not expect that as the good weather days become more numerous.

The greens there are crazy slow making it hard to adjust to playing elsewhere if you play here with any frequency. The course drains well overall. They do a good job with fairways, tee boxes and greens especially considering how value conscious their core customer is. The greens rolled a little better after Bill either cut or rolled them on the back nine ahead of me.

Barring imbalanced weather, their turf should be in very good shape as they have really worked hard to take advantage of the opportunities of a more mild winter.

First time

This was first time playing course. Although layout was odd at times the course itself was in great shape. The staff was extremely friendly. I have been looking to place the course for sometime and will definitely add it to my favorites list. Wish I would have played it sooner

Good Course

Deer Valley is a good course, while not long, it is challenging. The course caters to senior golfers but all golfers can enjoy a good and reasonable challenge.

Not Impressed!!

We booked the 1st time because my playing partner and I (we play as a 2 some) like to finish early and get to other things. The course is OK and not the 1st time I played there. The owner of the course had a 4 some tee off in front of us. We were told we had to follow them, they would set the pace of play and we were not allowed to play through??? This was as they said so the grounds crew could cut greens without being pushed or rushed?? We had to follow them for the entire round, a real drag. Talk about promoting slow play.. Our fast round for a 2some turned into a 4 hr. Round. Don’t think I will be going back!!
