#12 West Shore Country Club: Camp Hill, PA

+1 on West Shore's 12th


Other good ones fairly close to West Shore:


Hershey CC - West #13 (Beautiful natural terrain for a very good golf hole)
CC York #14 (Crazy downhill sweeping hole that can easily produce anything from 3 to X)
Baltimore CC - Five Farms #14 (Classic Tillinghast Great Hazard hole on a wonderful course)
French Creek #6 (All uphill that requires a lot of good golf to par - green might be a little too severe for how tough the rest is)
