About Hershey Country Club - East Course

The Hershey Country Club East Course, designed by renowned architect George Fazio and opened in 1969, offers a challenging and picturesque golfing experience in the heart of Hershey, Pennsylvania. Known for its demanding layout and immaculate conditioning, the East Course is a true test of skill, often hosting prestigious tournaments including the LPGA Tour's Lady Keystone Open for many years. It stands as a testament to Fazio's design philosophy, blending seamlessly with the natural rolling terrain of Central Pennsylvania.

Characterized by its tree-lined fairways, strategic bunkering, and fast, undulating greens, the East Course demands precision and thoughtful shot-making from every golfer. Water hazards come into play on several holes, adding to the strategic complexity. The course's elevation changes provide stunning views of the surrounding Hershey landscape, making for a memorable round beyond just the golf itself. Each hole presents a unique challenge, ensuring that no two shots feel quite the same.

Playing the East Course is an immersive experience that combines natural beauty with strategic design. Golfers can expect a meticulously maintained course that rewards well-executed shots and punishes errant ones. The overall playing experience is one of classic championship golf, where every club in the bag is tested, and a premium is placed on accuracy and course management. It's an ideal destination for golfers seeking a challenging yet rewarding round in a historic and beautiful setting.
