Berkleigh Golf Club

Berkleigh is in fantastic shape now and my round on 9/30 was really enjoyable.. The tees, fairways and greens are well kept and the bunkers are all raked and in fine shape.. I played from the back tees which have a 137 slope and its a fine test of golf.. Only 1 par 3 is less than 200 from the tips and they are toughies.. The front nine boasts 3 par 5s and 2 of them run parallel and are severely uphill.... The par 4's are a mix of long and short... and the course ends on 3 fairly easy short par 4 holes.. If you live in the Philly burbs as I do.. its an hour and 15 min drive and well worth it.The prices on golfnow are great and give the good golfer a value thats hard to beat..

I've played every public course in Berks County and this is the best blend of challenge and overall enjoyment.

I had seen this course as one of the top 15 best public courses in PA, but I do not see it. I have played some other courses that are much better than this in the state of PA. It was a very nice course but definitely not in the top 15 and possibly not even the top 30. The greens were difficult but I had no problem hitting driver on all the holes and being less than 100 yards from the green on most of them. It basically turned into a pitch and putt course but some of the greens did not allow some birdies even though I managed to make 5 including 3 of the par 5s that I reached in 2 shots with a 5 iron or less. The greens kept the course difficult but still not the best course that I have played in the past month.

I booked a 11:56 tee time as a single and on the fourth hole joined up with three nice guys. We were finished by 3:15 and that's after eating a hotdog on the turn.

Nice course overall. Very well kept, and clean. Tough greens. I'm coming back next week for a rematch.

course is in great shape, has old style design, looks and plays like country club

The course overall was in great shape, pace of play was even. Lack of beverage cart was disappointing. Rough was difficult to deal with, but still given the openness of the course it needs to be. I'd go back if I were down that way again.

This year has been great for golf courses and this one had good conditions on greens and fairways. Greens are tricky, fairways are hilly, very interesting lay out. Would like to play again.

I specifically chose Berkleigh because of the challenge of the layout and the course conditions. I've never been disappointed. The pace of play, however, was quite slow. This is in large part due to a threesome in front of us on the front nine. The one golfer has no business being on a course like this and they never offered to let us play through, although we were constantly waiting. We skipped the ninth hole just to get past them. When we arrived at the tenth tee, there was a foursome on the tee box. They were obviously starting on #10. We were going to play the front nine again, but it was backed up. Overall, I enjoyed the golf course. I just got frustrated with the pace of play. There was no martial to enforce this.

Excellent old style layout. Course well maintained except for bunkers which had not been raked in a long time. Greens healthy and true but slow. Great course for $23.

Real nice, need to get back there ASAP! Tee boxes nice, fairways great and greens run true, overall very plush.

This course is well kept and beautiful. It's the reflect amount of difficult. It was frustrating but very fun to play. I will definitely play again and be spreading the word of how great this course is.

Former private club. Beautiful, mature course. Well maintained. Facilities are a bit outdated but if you're here to play golf, you can't go wrong.

I wanted to play this course for years and just never found the time. I played it yesterday and totally enjoyed the experience. The course was in great shape and challenging.

Course is in much better condition than when I played earlier in the season. Rough is just that and very penal so stay out of there. Clubhouse guy was rude, had me standing there waiting while he spoke on the phone to a friend, not a golfer. Hot dog I purchased in the club house was awful. Aside of those two negatives, it was a great day and a great round. Pace of play was the best I had all year at various courses.

Fairly straight forward course with lots of gentle uphill and downhill shots. Wide fairways and huge greens, with trees lining up just about every fairway. Watch for the creek that cuts across a few fairways. Greens were nice - not too fast and not too slow.

It's obvious the course was once private...the layout is very good. It also obvious the course is now public as evidenced by the pace of play and the condition of the greens. The play was slow and the greens had not been cut or rolled providing a frustrating putting experience.

Good old course. Rough was deep, and no first cut. Greens were very slow probably due to recent rain. Cruised through in 3:30, which makes golf fun.

Course was in good shape. the greens were aerated
and a little bumpy.
This is the course Betsy King had her golf tournament.

This is definitely a fun, yet challenging and LONG course. Played in Autumn so we got slowed down looking for balls in the leaves. But overall, a great course and will definitely play it again in the Spring or Summer.
