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.

Great course
Course is always in great condition, drains super well, greens run smooth
Thanks very much for the 5 stars. See you soon.
Saturday was such a rainy and chilly day - pretty miserable - so hope you will return to experience Deer Valley on a sunny day soon.
Hope you don't mind an audience
Noon tee time, arrived an hour early to hit the range. They don't have a range. Slow play, didn't tee off until 12:15. Course in good shape.
Last 2 holes the oncoming league players were sitting at the tee boxes waiting for 5 o'clock. Not sure why they had to be there 45 minutes early. I struggle enough without more strangers watching me.
Probably won't go back.
We had an unexpected frost delay on Tuesday morning and that kept us about 15-20 mins behind until early afternoon. Sorry about that. Have a great season. DVGC
Waited on slower players ahead almost every single shot
Gorgeous day - course was in good shape for there - the greens are typically very slow but decent for time of year. Few golfers fix ball marks there. Frustrating to be unable to get into playing rhythm with waiting in groups ahead on almost every shot. Slow play needs managed better at this course and too many in the area as welll.
The first warm day in April always brings out lots of golfers, and we do our best to keep everyone happy. DVGC
Great course at a great price. Greens will be looking good once the spring showers begin. Deer Valley is a public hidden gem and play it multiple times a year!
Hey, thanks very much. DVGC
Without sand
The only course I’ve ever played that doesn’t have sand bunkers. Instead it has thick grass bunkers. Deer Valley Is also one of the most playable courses I’ve ever played. The views are spectacular and the course is always in great shape. I drive 54 miles to play this course. My only complaint is that I wish it was about 30 miles closer to my home. If that were the case, I’d be there all the time. Love this course!
Wonderful to hear, Bruce. Thank you and see you soon. DVGC
bonus February Rounds
Weather was great for February. We were happy to be able to play in the winter! course was in real good shape and the pace of play was excellent. Had a nice afternoon.
Hi Jonathan,
Ouch - our lowest review of the year! With it being Dec. 16th, DV is not as lush green as earlier in the season, but we are thrilled that so many folks were able to enjoy a round on a beautiful December day.
Great course always in perfect shape
No fall leaf issues they did great work on taking care of fall maintenance
