Four Seasons Golf Club History
Designed by Dick Funk, the East Hempfield Township golf course opened in 1962. It wasn’t until 1983 that the course adopted the name Four Seasons Golf Course. In November 1989, East Hempfield Township purchased the golf course and continually improved the golf course. In the last couple of years there has been uncertainty about the course staying open or being sold to a developer. Thankfully Four Seasons seems to be in a good place right now!
Four Seasons Golf Club Features
Four Seasons Golf Club has a tiny pro shop, putting green, and 1 driving range but unfortunately it isn’t usable. In 2020 the Blue Collar Restaurant, Bar & Catering was added, a perfect spot for an after-round meal!

Four Seasons Golf Club Rating
Although Four Seasons is a local course for me, I don’t play it as much as I would like. That being said, it is a charming municipal course. It always makes my heart happy when municipal courses are kept in great shape. We have too many that just get left for dead in this country.
Course Design – ★★½
Four Seasons has a very well similar design to other courses in America. You play a hole out and then turn around and play a hole coming back. However, this course does have great par 5 holes that break up that pattern.
Par-3’s: Have fun! These holes will be a struggle to score on. They are 3 longer par 3’s and one medium length par 3. These were great holes that really tested your iron ball-striking.
Par-4’s: The Par 4’s can get a little stale after multiple rounds. The variety isn’t exciting. Hole #15 will be the most unique par 4 hole. Most of the other hole are straight out and doesn’t have much elevation change.
Par-5’s: This is where I think Four Seasons really comes alive. The Par 5’s are fantastic. You start with #3, the “warm-up” par 5 hole, that plays very straight. At the MONSTER Hole #14 at 569 yards, you have an elevated tee shot down to the fairway, and then you will have an uphill approach to the green, which is very unique. Then don’t forget about #17, the closing par 5 with a creek that splits the fairway and is a beautiful hole.
Course Difficulty – ★★★
The course has an average difficulty level. We discussed the lack of Par 4 hole variety, making it more accessible. Some of the par 4 holes are easy-scoring holes. The most challenging thing about playing Four Seasons is the rough. It is very thick, and if you are not careful, you will lose a ball just off the fairway or catch one fat. Make sure to try to keep that ball in the fairway!
Course Amenities & Price – ★★★
Pricing is average for Lancaster County and the surrounding areas. You can check the current Tee Times here! Course Amenities are lacking a bit, they have a tiny putting green, and they don’t allow chipping. From what I hear, they have a driving range, but it isn’t very useful if usable at all.
Above the pro shop, there is a restaurant/bar that opened in 2020! We found the Blue Collar Restaurant on Instagram and they are very active and make it look like a great place to go for dinner or after a round of 18! I would say a 4.5-star rating on Google warrants a visit very soon!
That space above the pro shop used to be empty so good on them for adding something to the building. Golf courses that have restaurants on site are a huge perk, and that’s something that you don’t see too much with a municipal golf course.
Course Conditions- ★★
Course conditions are usually good. The tee boxes and greens are really nice. The greens tend to be slower, but that is to be expected of a muni course. The rough is the concerning part for me. It felt a little long. I played multiple times in the spring, so the grass was thick, and it was tough to find my ball. If I did find my ball, it was DEEP and hard to get out.
I know it’s called rough and meant to punish you… However, this is a muni course, and there are a lot of beginners out there. That rough makes it very hard for them to find the love for the game because it can become a little frustrating.
