Tips for Playing Hershey Country Club - West Course
When playing the West Course, pay close attention to the elevation changes, as they significantly impact club selection. Many holes play uphill or downhill, so adjust your yardage accordingly. It's also wise to favor the center or safe side of the fairways, as the tree lines can be unforgiving, and strategically placed bunkers await errant shots. The greens are known for their subtle breaks and speed, so spend extra time on the practice green to get a feel for their nuances. Consider walking the course if you're up for the challenge, as it offers a great workout and allows you to appreciate the scenic beauty more intimately. However, carts are available and often recommended due to the hilly terrain. After your round, take advantage of the excellent dining and practice facilities at Hershey Country Club to complete your golf experience.
