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.

Unique
No sand traps, what a unique experience. Course clean and well maintained, no leaves on fairways or greens, nice variety of challenges, really enjoyed playing here.
Thank you for the 5 stars.
Great course
Surrounding beauty, challenging holes, fast greens and no sand! What more could you ask for. I drive 1 1/2 hours just to play this course. If it was in my area, I would be there all the time.
Thanks again, Bruce. Our entire staff works really hard to make DV as nice as possible, and they will appreciate reading this!
Another great round of golf at Deer Valley Golf Course. I come in once a year to play golf in the Hershey area with my brother and I will definitely be back next year. Another great trip of golf that included three rounds at Deer Valley. See you next year !!
This is wonderful to hear. Thank you for taking the time to write such a great review and hope you and your brother enjoyed your visit to the Hershey area. Beautiful time of the year for sure.
Fun little course
Deer valley is a pleasant course, a bit short, but the greens are in good shape and quite challenging. I play there a few times a year.
Player etiquette was poor
I ended up with one of my best rounds but the day was dominated by an idiotic 4-some behind us that hit into us 4 of the first 8 holes. Including the 1st hole where one of them drove the green while we were putting. This person avoided us as he approached the green. Not so much as a simple apology. We picked up each of their tee shots on holes 7 and 8 as their balls rolled past us. They approached us on the 9th tee and asked for their balls back. We had words and returned their balls. One of the guys was a young fool. The others were reasonable. We weren’t slow. Every hole had virtually three groups, no one was going anywhere and these guys were obviously big hitters. I won’t recommend or play this course on the weekend again. This group settled down the rest of the way until the 17th where the young fool hit his drive through the green as we were putting. Not a happy, or relaxing round of golf.
Sorry to hear this. On the weekends, we have 2 rangers and so in the future please call into the Pro Shop if there are problems like this, and they will intervene.
P.S. Congrats on having one of your best rounds.
Mr
Great golf course and excellent staff. I highly recommend this course.
Yes, our staff is AMAZING! Thanks for the 5 stars.
Gem
This is the only course I’ve ever played which has no sand. It has bunkers but they are all grass. The greens are fast and true. The views are magnificent and it’s a joy to play. I dry an hour and twenty minutes to play this course.
We're happy to hear this, Bruce! Thank you.

Conditions were great
It is a short course but really well maintained and great for a newish playwr
Thank you!
Nice Golf Facility
Only complaint is this course gets very busy and the pace is a little slow. It would be nice if the would manage the pace. Great time a short course and great for the younger and older players.
Thanks for the 5 stars! Yes, with the beautiful cooler weather on Sunday, tons of folks came out to play. We try our best to manage golfers of all skill levels. Hope to see you again soon. DVGC
