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.

Great Day
Course conditions were great. Fast greens and lush fairways. Decent challenge and great sandtrap conditions. Very mindful of Covid sanitation throughout the course.
they are trying
the course is getting better.....they are working on the bunkers ( slow bur doing something).......greens are nice but a little rough due to light punching .......they are trying and within a year should be back to being top notch .....still a joy to play and bring extra balls
Back 4 more
Always a treat, and everthing was super as usual...only negative was some of the lousy players not fixing their ball marks and not letting us play through while they held up the back nine. Other than that, we still played in 4 hours.
Play it again, Stan
What else to say that I haven't before...one of the best/hardest courses around...I am playing there again TODAY!
Always GREAT
I have written other reviews but I'll just be brief... the course is in great shape , and a blast to play... you better hit the ball good and straight in order to score as it is very challenging and requires several plays before you finally figure out where to spot the ball and how the greens roll but you're in for a treat cuz this is a great Golf Course
What a great layout! Greens were amazing! Lovely course with great views!!!
This is a challenging "old school" course. I enjoy playing the course although my skill level is not always up to par. I would recommend it for the play and wonderful feel to the grounds.
Wow. Great hidden gem.
Wanted to golf for Father’s Day. Got on finding a course late. Most were booked. Found Reading CC online. Read about the history of the course. Amazing story. The course was is great shape, great for any level player. Carts are brand new. The club house is a castle. And green fees are very reasonable. I will be back! So glad I found this course! I live about 40 mins away in Chester country. Check out their site and the about section!
Thunderstorm , eh?
All is wonderful as usual at this high profile, challenging golf course. My only gripe this time was that by hole 4 there was a few claps of thunder. Then we played on and then they blew the evacuate the course horn by hole 11, for 1 bolt of lightning. After a 45 minute delay, and maybe 2 minor rumbles of thunder, we were allowed to return and finish, but 2 old coots and their fat wives played like snails the rest of the way, holding up the course to the point we were screaming for them to MOVE IT. Seriously, these people took 15 minutes to putt out a hole and they were all shooting about 150 for the round. Please, deadbeats , take your wives to Willow Hollow where all hacks belong. The holes their are short and you can break 120 there.
Great course..playing there again tomorrow.'nuff said?
Good weather
Reading Country Club was in good condition. A few traps being worked upon but over just a really nice course.
Worth the Drive
All good at Reading CC. Friendly staff, ground crew and golfers. A welcomed Grass driving range.
Historic Course with a layout that keeps you interested and on your toes. Rewarding for accurate drivers or 3-wood.
While Not long by today’s standards it’s a challenging course no doubt.
Greens and fairways are in top shape.
Tees boxes a bit hard with the summer season. But flat and mowed.
Worth the drive
great day for bad golf
the course was great but the golf was not but it was a perfect day and it was golf........the course is getting better....they are trying
