After making his fortune in a chocolate enterprise that is world renown, Milton Hersey founded Hershey Country Club in 1930, giving up the first floor in his High Point Mansion to serve as the clubhouse. Maurice McCarthy designed the original course, which now is the West Course and the venue for the 2012 USGA Senior Women’s Amateur. The course’s par-3 fifth hole features Hershey’s former home as a backdrop.
Thirty-nine years later, George Fazio designed the East Course, which was the site of a Nationwide Tour event.
The facility also includes Hershey Links, a par-72 layout with five sets of tees to accomodate all skill levels. And in 1932, Hershey created Spring Creek Golf Course, a nine-hole layout that was the first in the U.S. open to players under the age of 18. It was completely renovated in 2006, but is still dedicated to beginning players.
