Berkleigh Golf Club

Major improvements in course condition and clubhouse. Will be playing here again

Berkleigh is an older mature course with a great layout requiring players to hit every type of shot. The rolling hills of many of the fairways require down hill, up hill, and side hill lies which can be very challenging to those unfamiliar with the course. The roughs on many of the holes are what their namesake denotes. The greens are a true pleasure to be able to play. They are not for the beginner who has yet learn how to read them or acquired the touch needed. However, if you play the game for challenge and the positive feedback, and not to just try and feed your ego, you will have a great day and look forward to returning. My only criticism is that the greens are on the smaller size, but that is typical for the age of the course. The one other criticism is the Tees., They are small and have been ignored, while other work takes place on the course. Hopefully, they next up.

Here's the quick and easy...rough WAYYYY to high. Impossible to play from. Takes forever to find the ball. Can't hit it even if you find it. This course doesn't need the rough to be so high. Very bad business model. I live 10 minutes from there but won't play it. It's a great and challenging layout that makes you think however if you don't end up in the fairway you're screwed. Game over!!! Greens way to fast as well. The course would be hard even if there was no rough and moderate green speeds but the way it is tricked out makes it 4-5 hours of misery. Mow the grass on either side of the fairway and grow the grass on the greens then you'll get more customers back. The pros don't play here anymore so us duffers need to be catered to a bit. I'd rather shoot high scores because I suck not because the conditions do

This course is very nice. They just built a new club house. Conditions are good. My only complaint are the greens. They are too difficult to read. It is very frustrating to go Fairway to green on every hole only to 3 putt. This isn't just a disgruntled putter, my whole group had the same problem. Greens shouldn't be this hard. This will be the reason I would choose somewhere else to play. PS I 4 putted 9.

Awful service. I left my expensive GPS on my golf cart (magnetically attaches to the cart pole). Called the pro shop within an hour of finishing. Said they’d look for it and call back. Never did. I called again the next day they said they’d check for it and talk to the cart folks. Never got a call back. Never playing this place again just awful for that reason alone. At least have the decency to reach back out honestly. Do a better job.

Place is up to date facilities, well maintained and challenging.

Love this course but the cart paths are so bad you can barely keep control of the cart. It’s still worth going there compared to other courses. Traps are good in some cases and bad in others.

There's still plenty of country club feel left from the first tee to the last green of this course. Fairway, rough, greens, bunkers (especially bunkers!) were all in consistently strong condition. The fairways were a bit shaggy - not surprising given how early it is in the season. Greens were a bit on the slow slide for the same reason, but rolled as true as any I've played on recently. Great mix of hole types, and some wonderful views of what must be an old farmhouse on the property. I'm from out of state, so won't be able to play here again soon, but definitely wish I could!

New management made some decent improvements on the course; bunkers were nice, greens rolled decent, took trees down to promote growth on tee boxes. Club house is very nice but no mixers are sold in bar. Dislikes- became way to expensive under new management, taking advantage of COVID rates. The starter is miserable and will rush you off the range to the tee box when no golfers are behind you.

I like the course itself as it has a nice balance of holes. Some straight forward holes and some difficult shot making holes too. Not hitting driver is a good choice on many holes to favor placement over distance. The guy working inside the pro shop is always friendly and a joy to deal with. The starter/ranger was one of the rudest and grumpiest persons I’ve ever come across on a golf course. Didn’t get the 12 person group of players going off the first tee in a timely fashion. Being the 4 ball right behind this group we got to see it all happen. Then he drives up to my group teeing off on 7 telling us there’s multiple groups waiting on the tee behind us and we need to play faster. We waiting on that very tee box for two groups in front of us as well and had to wait on 7 too. Being a shortish par for 7th we were teeing off with the group in front of us not yet on the green, so we were not out of position in the least. To make matters worse he told us as he pulled up to “hurry up you’re behind” in the middle of a back swing from our group. My group waited on literally every tee box from the first hole and forever for every green to clear in front of us. He started the problems not doing his job on the first tee then yells at the groups not being the slow group problems. 5 plus hour rounds should never happen on a course that’s not that challenging.

Always enjoyed this course since it was a Private. Betsy King, Anika Sorenstem have walked these fairways! Challenging layout, and the greens are better than most public course offerings.

This one is walkable. Don’t pass this one up, we’ll worth the public course rate.

I've played this course a handful of times. I don't mind playing it occasionally to mix things up occasionally. Some of the staff is not friendly. Once, I popped my head in the pro shop and asked about buying something, and the guy rudely snapped at me that I didn't have time and needed to go tee off in 3 mins. It was true that it was nearly my tee time but the place was empty. I didn't see any other golfers in the pro shop, on the practice green, or at the first tee. That brief interaction left a bad taste in my mouth.

This course is very overpriced though. 10 mins away is Golden Oaks. Golden is considerably nicer, and it's about $10 or so cheaper! Play Golden first. Use Berkleigh as a backup.

Have played Berkleigh many, many times over the years. Great course. New building looks great. Played there with 8 of us in September, paid for green fees( which have gone up substantially with new ownership) about 30 minutes prior to tee time and asked about a tokens for range balls. Girl behind counter was nice, but guy off to side flies over and rudely starts yelling that I don't have time to hit balls, but I was allowed to putt. The range is a short wedge from pro shop and a small bag is about 20 balls. I mentioned that and he got nastier.

After 9 holes we stop for a six pack and ask if they have a bag of ice. Same guy comes flying over yelling no ice and states " Didn't you ever hear of COVID". Again, totally rude.

Honestly never seen worse customer service in all my life.

Berkleigh is not as well kept as it once was but it still is a fine course at a good value. We've played here many times and always enjoyed it. The elevation changes make the course play much longer than the listed yardages. The par 5 holes are very interesting and challenging on this course .

The course is a good value for a layout that is different every hole. Some holes are easy but overall it is a good test of your skills. They have various tees so you can play from where you want. . Almost every hole is different which adds to the overall enjoyment

And I Donely is the course extremely player friendly yet challenging… But more importantly, the PGA professional and his staff are definitely five star! I highly recommend anyone in the area to stop by and try Berkleigh country club… You’ll thank me

I love this course...the creeks make you think...if you can stay out of trouble, you'll have a good round. Can't wait to play in 20211

The person at the pro shop is very rude . And not just on occasion but multiple times. He has no business being in a position that has to deal with people. Maybe he should find another job. I don’t tolerate foolishness and won’t hurry back here to play again. I like to spend my time and money where I feel welcomed and comfortable. I was in a bad mood for the whole round because of him !
