Berkleigh Golf Club

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.

I have played Berkleigh six times this year and it has been in good to very good condition each time. It is an old-style course which, I believe, opened in the 1920's. It was a private club until seven or so years ago. There is a good variety of holes, some short, a few long, especially from the blue tees. The two par threes on the back nine are very good - the first about 200 yards from the white tee to a well protected green and the second 185 yards over a pond from an elevated tee. The greens are well bunkered and have interesting, but not ridiculous, contours. I got an incredibly good price through GolfNow. I also played there the next day at the regular price, and it was still a bargain.

Classic golf course with lots of elevation changes and high rough. A number of blind shots but fairways are wide and fair, Fast and tricky greens. Long drive from Philadelphia but well worth the trip.

Really well-maintained course. Not a lot of variety from hole to hole, but very long and tough pin placements. No water, but plenty of sand traps. Best value for the experience I have found near the Lehigh Valley!

Fairways could use some work. Cart paths are not well marked.

I think they over act and react toward the customer. It's a nice course, but NOT that elite. The pro shop staff was pushy and snotty. I also don't like when someone comes and takes our clubs and is not as careful with them as they should be. Except for no marshal any where to be found, which was surprising since they were so pushy earlier and the pace of play extremely slow, NOT BAD!

The course was in really great shape Tee to Green. The fairways were very nice, rough was moderately thick, and the greens were very good (great). The layout is reasonably accepting to errant drives with a limit, with the limit usually being the tree line. There are several creek crossings in the landing area of your drive so caution on some holes is warranted. The staff was very accommodating but I thought the snack shop closed a little early. One of the nicest courses in the area and overall a great day.

This course is challenging yet playable. Fairways and greens are kept exceptionally well along with the tee boxes. Employees, specifically the lady I dealt with was rude and made us feel unwelcome but once on the course I can say that this is one of the nicer courses of berks county.

Rough was extra high as it has rained a lot recently.
Pace of play was slow and there was no ranger to speed play.
Greens were not in good shape
GolfNow.com's green fees are the same as what they charge at pro-shop.

Just love this course. Kind of feels like a Pocono Course without having to drive that far. Wide open yet challenging. I don't think there is a hole there I don't like. Staff are very accommodating and friendly.

This course has plenty of challenges, from the hilly lies in the fairways to the up and down hill tee shots. A good test for everyone.

Our tee time was 3:30 pm. We did not wait for any one in front of us, and the only players behind us that we saw was a twosome who we let play through. Course was in excellent shape with exceptions of the bunkers which because of the heavy rain the day before were for the most part unplayable. Either they still had standing water or were "washed" out. The rest of the course was pristine. Really enjoyed playing a course where the LPGA used to play. Great value for the cost.

This course was challenging, (6800 yards from the tips) with blind tee shots and tough layup areas. The course was in very good condition except for the bunkers which tended to be very hard in some areas. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. If you can find a good deal this course is definitely worth playing.

I have played Berkleigh twice this year.. First time on Memorial Day and also again in June... Some major golf magazines had rated Berkleigh in the top 10 of Pennsylvania public courses and after playing twice... I agree.. Berkleigh is well maintained and has very good greens.. The course plays longer than listed due to the elevation changes.. The teeth of the course is from holes 11-15 and if you can get past those holes without blowing your round, you are a fine player.. From the burbs of Philly, its an hour and 10 min ride and well worth the trip.. If you put a course like this close to Philly, the price would be double what they charge..

ist. time playing the course and it will not be the last. of all the courses I have played in this area, yours, by far, is the best.july 11th.

Very friendly staff, course is well maintained, pace of play was awesome, I have nothing but great things to say about the course!

Enjoyed the layout, speed of the greens (fast for a public course), and slope of the greens without going overboard (though some pin placements were a little close to decent size breaks). All in all a good course where I felt it was worth the hour long drive to get to. Nice elevation changes, nice size greens and in good condition.

I would have loved this course if not for some of the sand traps. One par 5 they had soft, white, fluffy sand in the fairway bunkers. I hit a shot that had enough steam to roll to top of trap, get caught by the lip at top and then roll back down to the center of the trap. Not a problem until I realized I had a semi-fried egg from rolling back down the trap. Up at the green they had courser sand but so little in the traps you would bounce off the dirt underneath. In fact the first hole the trap had the black lining underneath the sand sticking out due to so little sand. Also some holes one greenside bunker would have a very thin layer of the heavier sand but on the other side of the green a trap would have the white, fluffy beach sand.
