Deer Valley at Deer Valley Golf Course

Deer Valley Golf Course sits in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania, a small borough just outside Harrisburg in the south-central part of the state. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Cumberland Valley region, where the landscape transitions from the Susquehanna River lowlands toward the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. This area has supported golf since the mid-twentieth century, with courses serving the Harrisburg metropolitan area and its surrounding communities.

The layout reflects the practical design approach common to many Pennsylvania public courses developed in the latter half of the twentieth century, with routing that works with the natural contours of the land. The property features a mix of open and tree-lined holes, with elevation changes that provide variety in shot-making and visual interest throughout the round. Water features and bunkers come into play on several holes, requiring strategic decision-making from various tee positions.

Deer Valley serves primarily as a daily-fee facility accessible to golfers from Harrisburg, Hershey, and the broader Dauphin County area. The course accommodates players of different skill levels through multiple tee options, making it suitable for both recreational rounds and league play. Its location near Hershey, known for its chocolate manufacturing heritage and tourism infrastructure, places it within a region that sees both local and visiting golfers throughout the season.
