Valley Green Golf Course

Valley Green Golf Course sits in Etters, a small community in south-central Pennsylvania just west of the Susquehanna River and a few miles from Harrisburg. The course was designed by Xenophon Hassenplug, a regional architect active in Pennsylvania and neighboring states during the mid-twentieth century. Hassenplug's work typically emphasized playability and straightforward routing suited to the rolling terrain common to the area. The layout occupies land characteristic of the Cumberland Valley region, where gentle to moderate elevation changes and mature tree growth define the playing corridors. Courses in this part of Pennsylvania often feature parkland settings with hardwoods framing fairways and greens that reflect the natural contours of the property. Valley Green serves as a public facility, providing accessible golf to residents of the Harrisburg metropolitan area and visitors traveling through the region. The course operates within the tradition of community golf venues that prioritize steady play and local membership rather than tournament hosting or national recognition. Its design reflects the practical approach common to many Hassenplug projects, where strategic interest comes from thoughtful use of existing topography rather than dramatic earthmoving or water features. The facility continues to serve golfers seeking a straightforward round in a quiet, tree-lined setting typical of south-central Pennsylvania's golf landscape.
