Hershey Renovates Kids' Course Spring Creek, the scenic nine-hole children's course that opened here in 1934 and is believed to be the oldest of its kind in the country, has been redesigned. Holes have been rerouted to make them easier to walk and to minimize the risk of shots flying onto adjacent fairways. The course lies along Chocolate Avenue, near Hershey Country Club and Hersheypark. Call 717-533-2847 or visit hersheygolf.com.
