Rating Snapshot
About
Opened in 1923, Reading Country Club is one of the area's oldest golf courses. Located less than a half hour from King of Prussia, the course is easily accessible from anywhere in the greater Berks County area. Though it has a traditional layout that doesn't have the length that most modern courses do, that hasn't stopped it from being one of the most challenging public golf courses in Berks County. The rolling terrain provides a variety of elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. The course will test you with lightning fast, undulating greens that are protected by sand traps and there is punishing rough bordering the narrow, tree-lined fairways. Be prepared for uphill shots and blind approaches throughout the golf course. Reading Country Club's par 3s are especially notable for their difficulty.

Phenomenal value
This course offers a tremendous value. Will you find world class conditions? No, but you will find solid conditions paired with a great classic layout.
The previous reviewer is a moron. This is a classic layout that requires you strategically move yourself around the course. The greens are always in good shape and roll true. The rough and bunkers could use some work, but in general this is one of my favorite courses in the area. Highly recommend!
Wouldn’t recommend to friends
I live in montco county and play everywhere, decided to take a little drive out of my way to play a different course, boy was that a mistake. Layout is horrible, you hit a fairway and you’re hitting on some sort of angle half the time, course is short and conditions are sub par for this time of year. if you live next to this place and everywhere else is booked, then yeah, play it, if not, go somewhere else
Tough challenge as usual..conditions SUPERB!!!
Get all the clubs in the bag (You will need them)...beginners stay away as balls will be lost. This course demands many plays until you know where to place the ball, hit the greens and PLEASE THROW AWAY ALL THOSE YARDAGE GIZMOS AS THEY ARE WORTHLESS! The par 3's each pose a tremendous challenge from the back tees, and go ahead, use that yardage toy and see where you wnd up, Out of Bounds, In a creek, trap, or under a tree. Wind can play a massive factor too. Anyway, greens are easily the fastest and best in the area...fairways are plush and nice, tees pretty good too..rough is just ROUGH. I am going back tomorrow and Sunday ...can't wait!
Where is everyone?
Played Monday afternoon,deserted, but course in nice shape.
awesome grens
If you want firm fast greens Reading is the place to play. There are no ball marks or any flaws in the greens. The course plays fast and everything is in good shape. The par 3s are a tremendous collection of holes.
gr8 old style course
I've played many times over the years and still enjoy as if it was the first time........each hole is different and interesting..........you need every club in your bag.......very nice when greens are fast...........would be nice when they finally take care of the bunkers, the best bet is to drop out of.............will always come back as long as I am able to play
Firm Greens
Fun course to play. Well maintained. Particularly the greens that are firm and fast. Downside is that one has to cross a busy street twice that feels dangerous.
Pace of play is the worst
Pace of play was especially bad today. There was a backup at every hole and on the back nine it was the worst with about a 15 minute wait time each hole. And then you still had to stand there and wait for each shot you took.
It was a beautiful day, and being the weekend, I expected some wait time but today was ridiculous.
Reading Country Club
Beautiful course!!!! You will enjoy the course layout and the challenge provided by this course in many ways. It’s very conveniently located right next to Route 422.
Great time. Course was playing tuff but overall this will be on our list next year to play a few times!!
great shape for this time of year
You'd be hard pressed to find nicer greens that are in super shape right now as Reading has. This course has always been a great value and don't let the short listed yardage fool you into thinking that you'll be playing wedge into all the greens. There is not a ton of roll in the fairways right now making the course play longer. We had little problem finding balls on this sunny day which is rare at this time of year. Go play Reading now before winter comes. and thank me later
Slow today
Course should combine twosomes when there are foursomes in front. On one hole there was one foursome on the green and three twosomes waiting. Course in good shape
