Notes: From an article dated October 24, 1928, in The Evening News in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania: "HERSHEY – Details of two eighteen-hole golf courses to be laid out at Hershey were announced today by Maurice J. McCarthy, golf architect and builder of more than 125 courses in the country. Thirty-six holes of the links will rank among the first ten in the country, McCarthy said, since no expense will be spared in the construction of the courses.

"The first course, to be known as Hershey Country Club, will be located immediately in the vicinity of the Hershey mansion, which was donated as a club house. A garage will be built underground in the base of the slope on which the house stands to prevent the marring of the landscape by automobiles of the players.

"Work is well advanced on these eighteen greens and conditioning of the ground is now under way for the other eighteen greens. The total length of the course of the country club is estimated at 6800 yards with a par seventy-two. There will be four water holes and five dog-legs.

"The second eighteen holes, to be known as the Hershey Golf Club, will be conducted on a 'pay as you play' basis and will be open to all townsmen and visitors. The club house, which is expected to be visited by entire families, will have a large swimming pool with a stretch of sandy beach. It will have a dance pavilion, restaurant and other attractions. The course will have a total yardage of 6540 with a par seventy."

According to Wikipedia, it appears the that the second eighteen-hole course (or East Course) was redesigned by George Fazio in 1969 and expanded to 7061 yards with a par of 71.
