HERSHEY, Pa. -- For golfers, the only thing better than golf is ... unlimited golf! Groups of 10 or more can enjoy that and more in Hershey, Pennsylvania, where the sport has been part of the town since 1909, when Milton S. Hershey had a nine-hole course built between his chocolate factory and his home. Golf legends Henry Picard and Ben Hogan each served as golf professionals here during Mr. Hershey's lifetime.
The Hershey Golf Collection welcomes overnight groups of 10 or more to enjoy unlimited play on four distinctive courses - the prestigious East and West courses at Hershey Country Club, the challenging Hershey Links and the family-friendly Spring Creek Golf Course.
"The Hershey Golf Collection offers golf for all levels of play," said Ned Graff, director of golf. "From the beginner to the professional, our four courses fit all needs and handicaps."
Rates for the Group Golf Package are $184* April 1-30 and November 1-30 and $235* May 1-June 17 and September 6-October 31. The Group Golf Package includes the following:
