- Gorgeous course - this course is well manicured and fun.
Leans a littlie towards the RHBH, but definitely has balance to it (see hold 5).
- Course has the fun factor, and the "man, I wish I could bring my less/equally/more talented friends here for a betting round" look.
- The course has fairly good flow and if you look at the next tee signs, you don't need a map. The address is for the main hotel, however, and not tee 1.
- The course (as others have mentioned) has a manicured feel, like a ball golf course. Holes 1 (pin on hill), 2 (pin past a green on a second island), 5 (pin on a peninsula that will punish long LHBH shots or bad putts), and 9 (tunnel shot onto a clean green with summertime briars to punish the foolish) take advantage of the elevation of the area to create good disc golf.
- Maximize the potential of the area to make something worth visiting a time or two.
- A good mix of long and shorter holes. There are some that should essentially be par 2's (<200') but at the same time, the course balances out with longer par 3's.
- Several holes play into the trees and have completely different ground play due to the pine tree scrub vs. grass. I'm not a world traveler (yet) but it's rare to find different ground play. Coastal NJ plays like 3 and 4, but the others holes play inland without the pine scrub and simply grass.
- The terrain here is rarely flat and often present disc and strategy decisions about what directions to throw.

-Not taking off a star, but they only put nine holes in a location that supports 9. You finish and want more, but the property does not support it.
- No overall map or elevation information. Elevation plays a part of more than 4 of the holes of the nine.
- Benches, amenities, etc. Not factored into the overall, but it is also fairly hard to imagine this course as terribly busy.

- This place is not a pitch and putt - if you have a 300' arm, you will not birdie every hole. However, this adds to the attraction. You can track progress on the longer holes (including the single par four) and measure your score appropriately.
- This place is ABSOLUTELY worth the trip for a Pitch and Putt+. The views, the risk/reward "island-ish" situation of hole five, are definitely worth it. There are 1-3 disc P&P courses, but this is way better than that.
- Of the short courses in the area, I would place this one at the top of the list. The courses in W HB are run of the mill, but this one has elevation, quality pin placement, and variety -- definitely worth a trip.

+ Design takes advantage of beautifully maintained grounds of a resort. Remnants of former ball golf course are visible here and there

+ Largely open, and at ~3000' it's a bit longer than a lot of 9's recreational/park nines

+ Hole #4 was a 372' standout for me: you're on an elevated tee, throwing a late fade into a grove of towering pines, with a downward sloping green. A beautiful hole to throw, and then to walk

+ Hole #9 is a short ace run through a tree gap. Nice way to finish a rec course

- Taking this for what it is ( a recreational niner) I can only quibble about the natural teepads (but they're well marked with in-ground medallions)

~ Big parking lot near the 2nd tee. Easy to play starting there, but the first hole is way off to the right of the 9th basket

~ 3.5 rating is the highest I've gone for a niner, and it reflects how nice the place is. You really feel like a "resort golfer" walking this course

~ Found three discs while playing 9 holes. They were all clearly marked "Hotel Hershey" and I figured I'd drop them off near the #9 basket. I wasn't the only one: basket #9 had about a dozen hotel discs - your DX Leopards and your DX Sharks

~ Quick to play. Fighting darkness at the end of a long bagging day (this was our 10th course of the day!). We played it in 27 minutes...but we ran.

New baskets that catch well and are easy to spot. Tee signs on every hole. Non-trivial hotel course (which is a pleasant surprise). Grounds are beautiful. Holes are mostly open but some good basket placements make for shot shaping. No chance of disc loss.

Holes are pretty uniform - all but 3 are in the 300-400 foot range. No tee pads. Pretty easy to navigate but one or two times I had to look around to find the next tee.

I stepped up to the first tee and said "300 feet - that' s okay for a hotel course". I like the first basket placement on the hillside. Hole #2 was fairly routine though a touch longer (338'). The third hole is 372' and I thought "Hey this course is better than I would have expected at a hotel". This hole is blind with the basket behind a circular OB area and is my favorite hole on the course. Then holes 4&5 (383' and 370') have you playing under an evergreen canopy - very nice although pretty routine. Hole #6 dropped down to 238' and was the most boring hole on the course. Holes 7&8 jump up to 411' and 420' which is nice. Hole #9 is an ace run (156') but is pretty and has that one branch hanging out to knock your ace away.
I really enjoyed this course and would play again if in the area. It's not a challenge but is just plain old fun. I actually lost track of my disc twice because of the attractive grounds which distracted me.

Nice and short. (Nothing over 420 ft.) Well manicured lawns/fairways. Nice signage and starting pins. Great use of the terrain. Only 2 holes have scrub brush thick enough to lose a disc. Great for people who have never played or those of us who do not throw super hard.
Hole #1 is a nice easy intro hole with a few trees. Hole #3 was pretty nice with the basket tucked behind some hedges/bushes (I like when you have to throw around or over obstacles). #4 had some fun trees to navigate. #5 was a dogleg right that played tight at the basket due to some thick scrub brush around it. #9 is a definite ACE hole or at least an easy birdie.

No real chalenges or super long holes for pros (but then again, I'm sure it wasn't designed for pros). Although there are some trees and bushes, there are no real tough holes to "thread" the disc through. #2,6,7,& 8 were pretty strait forward and easy. The scrub brush was pretty thick to the right of #5 and to the right of #8 so you can definitely lose a disc there with an errant throw. The only missing sign issue I found was that there was nothing to tell you how to get to the #2 tee from basket #1 (you have to cross the road).

This course was obviously designed for people staying at the Hotel that might want to try some disc golf. I wish EVERY hotel had one of these courses right outside. I also think its great that the Hotel Hershey keeps their course open to the public. I love well manicured courses that don't have a lot of places to gobble up your discs, which makes this course pretty sweet to me! Although... I did not see any signs of chocolate (not even a little Hershey kiss picture on the last basket... Now THAT would be a sweet finish... along with an ace.)
