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.

Deer Valley Review
This course is relatively new. It is a fairly short course which makes it playable for all golfers. The course has decent character, and 10-15 years will be very interesting when all of the trees grow. Greens were bumpy with a lot of ball marks, but the conditions were generally decent.
This course has a lot of potential
Course was in good shape. Greens were a little firm though...a couple holes didn't hold. Fairways were cut down nicely, and tee boxes were in good shape. A couple were a bit hilly, so finding a level spot to tee the ball was difficult, but otherwise very good.
Staff was a bit unfriendly though....starter was decent, but owner was a bit rude...got a morning tee time before a tournament, and they pushed us to finish quickly, which I did not like. Round was completed in less than 3.5 hrs. Overall was a good experience though....
Nothing Special
I would not pay more than $20 to play this course. However, the course was in okay shape and for $20 it would be a deal. The greens were beat up and the fairways had some bare spots.
First Time @ course
1st time I played this course and I will be coming back
Deer Valley for everyone
The course was in good shape thought the greens just airated. At 6000 yds this is a good course for your confidence. No traps makes approach shots not too challenging but good for the score. You still get to use long iron and are challenged by doglegs and blind shots. Had a lot of fun!
Good course for the money.
This course is good for what you pay to play. I played at 8:42am on a Saturday in April and it was $30 with a cart. They take good care of the course and it is challenging. I will play here again.
very nice course. very good conditions. excellent value
you will not find a better value for your dollar. the course is moderately easy but is in great shape and a lot of fun to play. highly recommend
Awesome golf for the price.
Enjoyed the course not having any sand traps. Wide open but some tricky greens. Will play there a lot more this year.
Nice easy course...slow rate of play
Overall a cheap course with nice conditions. No sand and very open. Rate of play made the round drag however, almost 5hrs.
Very nice for this early in the season.
The fairways and greens were in great shape and the staff were friendly and helpful!!!
Definitely Recommend
Have played this couse various times, and keep coming back. Nice course with friendly staff managing facility. The GM is very conscience of providing a great value for the $.
Well maintained, great value
Well maintained, great value and it's of great value and well maintained
This course is a great value!
Big greens, very good condition(although they just started airiating(?) the fairways) and beautiful scenery. Fairly wide open. I can't wait to get back. Probably one of the best values out there.
A great course at a great value!
From the extra wide paved paths, to the well maintained fairways, to the HUGE manicured greens, this course is definitely on my "golf again and tell my friends" list!! If you're in the Hershey or Harrisburg area, check this course out!
Ok too play but obvious farm conversion
I believe the course needs a few more years for the trees to mature and the grass to grow in, difficult to tell fairway from any other places on the course.
Great price, very nice staff
The course was wide open, but still had enough areas to get into trouble. I would play the course again, couldn't beat the price special. Only thing they need to work on is the tee boxes (hard to find a level area) other than that the course was fun.
Fun Course
A fun course to play that will not make you stop playing golf. A couple of drivable par four's that make it interesting. This is my third time playing it and it is an easier course but you still have to hit them straight or you will in trouble. Good course to play if you can hit the right price on golfnow.com
great value fun course
overall experience was good.... Staff was very cordial and accomodating, course very well manicured however some players on course played slow and lacked golf ettiquette. All in all great value and fun course with lots of opportunities to score
Nice little course and getting better!
This course has really grown and become more challenging over the past few years. Great potential at this place if they don't become complacent.
Short Course
The course was quite short but had a nice layout with blind shots. The greens were small and the pin placements made shot making critical.
