Tips for Playing Hershey Country Club - East Course
When playing the East Course, pay close attention to the pin positions, especially on the undulating greens. Many greens have subtle breaks that can be deceiving, so a good read and a confident stroke are essential. Also, be prepared for elevation changes; club selection on uphill and downhill shots will be crucial for success. Given the tree-lined fairways, accuracy off the tee is paramount. While some holes offer a bit more room, straying too far can lead to difficult recovery shots or lost balls. Consider leaving the driver in the bag on tighter holes if it means finding the fairway, and always aim for the fat part of the green to avoid the demanding bunkers.
