Golden Oaks Golf Club in Fleetwood, Pa. is considered one of Berks County's finest courses with a four-star rating from Golf Digest, which also named it as one of the top "Places to Play." It was voted the "Best Public Course" by readers of Berks County Magazine. Designed by local architect Jim Blaukovitch, the golf course has a classic design that appeals to players of all skill levels. The course has wide, inviting fairways but there are also some challenges provided by the rolling terrain, featuring elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. Be prepared for a variety of uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies. Trees line Golden Oaks Golf Club's fairways and strategically placed bunkers protect the greensides. The golf course has some tricky holes but it's not overly punishing for the high handicapper.

Good Layout but Greens Needed Watering

Course was fun and in good shape, but the greens desperately needed to be watered. Didn’t know I was signing up to play a US Open level course.

Great layout.needs TLC. Traps terrible.

Have been playing here off and on for 30 years. Conditionhas deteriorated. Bathrooms disgusting and near dysfunctional. Clearly a lack of management attention and/ot no money to keep up in approprate shape.

Love the layout and pub and the staff is always friendly and helpful. The conditions were not up to their usual standards with a lot of weeds in the rough and very little sand in the bunkers, but still very playable. Pace of play seemed slow during the round but was actually not terrible (about 4:20). Food and beer great as always.

Among the nicer public courses in Berks

Paid a modest few extra dollars to extend a twilight nine holes into 'as many as can be played before dark'. In this case cart curfew was set to 8:30. That was quite reasonable versus the curfews recently given to me by other courses nearby. I don't think I'd still be able to see the ball ant 8:30, but the flexibility was appreciated.

Conditions are great on the fairways and greens, in particular. The green roll at a good speed and your putts will hold the lines you put them on.

I've generally found Golden Oaks to have better sand in their traps than other public course in Berks County, but the two traps I found myself in (on holes 12 and 13 were "Berks County Grade Hardpack")

Good Course layout.

The course layout is 5 star. Bunkers were well groomed but very little sand. A few tee boxes need help.

Course a plain Jane course

I'd would call ahead because they could be cutting the grass during play hours. For the first 7 holes they were cutting the grass. Greens were the fast almost unplayable. I'd pass on this course for the money. Dishonest golfers play this course steal your balls and clubs.
