The new course of nine holes ... is situated at the Blue Ridge entrance of [The Hotel Hershey] ... on a hill top 600 feet above the town, and surprising as it may seem, the fairways are level. Every hole, except one, has a par of four, the shortest hole, number seven, having a par of three. The other eight holes are each over 309 yards and the longest one is 401 yards. The total number of yards for the nine holes is 2,928. The course does not contain any sand traps. ... Some day the Hotel Hershey golf course will make the first page because pheasants, quail, squirrels and rabbits make it there [sic] accustomed sunning places and some golfer's ball is bound, sooner or later, to hit one of these birds or animals and make mere golf history, believe it or not.
