About Hershey Country Club - West Course

The West Course at Hershey Country Club offers a distinctly different challenge from its East Course counterpart, providing a more modern and strategic golf experience. Designed by Maurice McCarthy and opened in 1969, this championship layout is characterized by its dramatic elevation changes, tree-lined fairways, and impeccably maintained bentgrass greens. The course seamlessly integrates with the natural contours of the Pennsylvania landscape, demanding precision and thoughtful shot-making from golfers of all skill levels.

Known for its challenging yet fair design, the West Course features a variety of hole types that keep players engaged from start to finish. Water hazards come into play on several holes, adding both beauty and strategic complexity, while strategically placed bunkers guard greens and fairways. The course's undulating terrain requires players to master uneven lies and adapt to varying distances, making each round a true test of golf acumen.

Playing the West Course is an immersive experience, offering stunning views and a tranquil escape. The course's pristine conditions and thoughtful routing ensure a memorable round, whether you're a seasoned competitor or enjoying a leisurely game. Its reputation for excellent conditioning and a challenging design makes it a favorite among members and a significant draw for golf enthusiasts visiting the Hershey area.
