HERSHEY, Pa. -- When spring is in full bloom, the family might be looking for a weekend getaway to play golf and spend some quality time together. Is there a better choice than Hershey Resorts, one of the nation’s most popular family vacation destinations?
During weekends in April, Hershey Resorts — ranked first on the list of “Best Resort for Family Trips” in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic region by Travel + Leisure Golf Magazine — is offering the “Family Golf Package.”
Here’s a closer look at the package components:
* Deluxe double accommodations at either The Hotel Hershey or Hershey Lodge
* Nine holes of golf at Spring Creek Golf Course, including push cart and club rental
* Family golf tournament
* Admission to Hershey Gardens and Hershey Museum
The package is available to families for all four weekends in April beginning Friday, April 4. For accommodations at Hershey Lodge, rates start at $224 per night; for accommodations at The Hotel Hershey, rates start at $348 per night. (Rates are based on double adult occupancy and availability. Tax and gratuity are not included. Single adult, youth and child prices also are available.)
Spring Creek Golf Course is an extraordinary family-friendly, nine-hole layout that features enhanced course routing to improve pace of play. Though “beginner-friendly,” Spring Creek plays to 2,200 yards and features two sets of tees to create an 18-hole experience as well. The second nine is 2,416 yards, for an 18-hole, par-66 layout playing to 4,616 yards.
Spring Creek complements Hershey Country Club, which is for more experienced golfers. Hershey Country Club extends playing privileges to resort guests on both the East and West courses, as well as nearby Hershey Links (formerly Wren Dale Golf Club), but green fees are not a part of this package.

Besides golf, families can enjoy Hershey Gardens, Hershey Museum and Hersheypark, which are all within a short distance from The Hotel Hershey and Hershey Lodge.
Known the world over as The Sweetest Place On Earth, Hershey is located in central Pennsylvania, three hours from New York City, two hours from Philadelphia, and 90 minutes from the Washington/Baltimore metro area.
