Pennsylvania Golf Courses Dauphin County Created on March 4, 1785, from part of Lancaster County, and named for the Dauphin, the title of nobility given to the eldest sons of kings of France. Harrisburg, the county seat, was named for its founder, John Harris, and was incorporated as a borough on April 13, 1791. It was chartered as a city on March 19, 1860. John Harris’s trading post stood on the Susquehanna as early as 1720. Presbyterian groups at Paxton and Manada Gap were the earliest settlers, but German Lutherans formed the Hummelstown and Middletown communities in the 1760s. The Paxton Boys movement of 1763-1764 slaughtered helpless Indians and tried to intimidate the provincial government into providing more defense on the frontier and more legislative representation. The State’s capitol was moved from Lancaster to Harrisburg in 1812, and the next year Lebanon County was created from Dauphin’s eastern townships. In the mid-nineteenth century Dauphin was a canal and railroad center. Later, steel mills went up in Steelton. In Middletown, American Tube and Iron Co. flourished, and railroad cars were made there. Today, Milton Hershey’s industrial legacy is still apparent and AMP is a national leader. Thirty percent of the land is farmed, and this is a leading county in sheep and poultry. In total value its farm products rank twenty-fifth among the state’s sixty-seven counties. Let’s see the Pennsylvania golf courses in Dauphin County.

Holes: 18
Par: 54
Rating: N/A

Pennsylvania Golf Courses Comments:
This par 3 course will be difficult if you're not a confident putter. The greens are undulating and full of hidden breaks. The longest hole on the course is 9, measuring 78 yards. If you overshoot the pin on the tee shot, it's a tough downhill putt coming back.

This course, built on rolling terrain, is in excellent condition. The fairways are tree lined and well bunkered. The greens are large, undulating, and very fast. Most of the greens are well protected by sand bunkers, but there are no water hazards on the course.

This mountainous course overlooks the Susquehanna River. There are several trees throughout the layout of the course. The terrain is hilly, so you can expect many uneven lies. This course was renovated in 1998, during which time three new green complexes were constructed, nearly 75 percent of the tee boxes were rebuilt, new fairways bunkers were added to a few holes, and the fairways on holes 5 and 6 were re-contoured.

Pennsylvania Golf Courses Comments:
The course has a variety of different holes, so plan on using every club in your bag. The undulating greens have plenty of slope and hidden breaks, so expect some slick putts. The fairways are wide open and some are tree lined. The toughest hole is 18, a 446-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot onto a fairway with six sand bunkers in the landing area. Water hazards come into play on five holes.

Pennsylvania Golf Courses Comments:
Designed by Harlan Wills and built in 1960, Harrisburg North has made solid improvements in the last decade. An irrigation system was installed in 1994 followed by the planting of trees and the construction of a continuous cart path. A new clubhouse opened in 2000. But some things haven't changed over the years. The greens at Harrisburg North still will challenge you and you must demonstrate skill with the flat stick to score well.

This club has three eighteen hole regulation courses, the nine hole Hotel Hershey Executive Course, and the nine hole Spring Creek Golf Course for children and teens.

This hilly course has water hazards coming into play on some holes, and the trees which line the fairways can alter your shots. The course's signature hole is 18, a 392-yard, par 5, requiring an uphill tee shot to a dogleg left fairway, then an approach shot over a lake to the green. This hole is considered the most scenic hole on the course.
