As a native resident of the area and someone who recently hosted my sister’s wedding at the Hershey Country Club, I feel compelled to share my experience to help others make an informed decision about this establishment.
First and foremost, it's important to understand that despite its name, this is not a true country club - it's a resort operation masquerading as one. This fundamental misrepresentation sets the tone for many of the issues we encountered.
The level of disorganization we experienced was staggering. We spoke with three different employees and received three different cost estimates for our event. Even more concerning, we didn't receive a finalized bill until a month after our wedding. The financial impropriety reached its peak when they charged our credit card without authorization - a serious breach of standard business practices.
When we attempted to address these issues, the situation only deteriorated. The General Manager's approach to conflict resolution was particularly troubling. Instead of working to resolve the issues professionally, we were met with condescension and threats of legal action - even though they were clearly in the wrong. The GM's dismissive attitude and unwillingness to take accountability for the club's mistakes was both surprising and disappointing.
While Hershey Entertainment and Resorts may pride themselves on their reputation, as someone born and raised in this community, I can attest that their current standards fall far short of what they claim to represent. They seem to have forgotten that their members are the ones paying their salaries.
For those considering a membership or planning an event, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. West Shore Country Club, for instance, maintains the true values and standards of what a country club should be. They understand and respect their members, maintain clear communication, and uphold the traditions and service levels that define a genuine country club experience.
Save yourself the frustration and money - choose an establishment that values transparency, respect, and proper service standards. The Hershey Country Club, unfortunately, no longer meets these basic expectations.

Worst wedding experience ever. So disorganized, I had to check in to make sure things were ordered and notated multiple times. Had to plan my wedding 3 times with 3 different people and I didn’t even know a soldified bill until a week after my wedding. We gave them a credit card to run for the total and they ended up running the card for $2500 extra a week later for things THEY forgot to bill us for. When I wanted to speak to a GM, I was met with a pompous and rude manager who didn’t care at all about my horrendous experience. Do not trust them with your wedding unless you want stress and disorganization!

The Hershey Country Club is amazing in so many ways. From the beautiful golf course to the clubhouse and friendly staff, it is a little escape from home and work. Our Wedding DJs, AV Team, and Photo Booth staff also love working here. From having your company banquet or party to having your wedding hosted here, the club will be in our top 10 list of favorite wedding and event venues to perform at.

Hershey Country Club is an absolute dream wedding/reception venue come true. From the amazing staff that serves their clients so well to the delicious food to beautiful reception hall and photo opportunities. This is a dream wedding venue!

Got an opportunity to play both the West and East courses for a fall golf trip. We all thought it was great. The older West course wraps around parts of Hershey with great views. East course has a lot of hills and the greens are all crowned. Challenging and fun! The fall colors popped on both courses. Staff was awesome and friendly. Nice restaurant and staff which helped us get some delicious lunch before we headed out.
