Hershey (West)

A number of corporations in the United States have seen fit to create golf clubs from their largesse, and few can claim to be sweeter than that of famed chocolate company Hershey. Maurice McCarthy has a rather limited portfolio as a golf course architect, but the West course at Hershey Country Club is certainly the highlight, having hosted the notable 1930 PGA Championship, where Byron Nelson defeated Sam Snead by one shot in the final match.

The club sits above the city of Hershey, however players may want to avoid the idyllic scenery and keep their eyes focused on the course. At the same time, it may be best not to focus too intensely on the many white sand bunkers that litter the green-sides here. Although the course will no longer overpower a scratch golfer with its distance (just more than 6,800 yards from its back tees), these sand hazards will provide the difference between birdie and bogey on any given hole.

The short-ish par three No. 12 stands out the most for this reason: There are five bunkers around the green, as well as three larger ones positioned out in the fairway apron. They almost look like a smiling face...satisfied after eating a local chocolate bar, no doubt.
