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.

I love this course the lay out is outstanding although hole 3 and 5 can be very dangerous to beginners due to the highway being to the right of the trees the biggest issue I had was that I like to bring my wife with me when golfing usually I let the people at the front know and get charged about $5 for a Ride Along however this location charges $15 which is a bit expensive for someone just to watch you play just a heads up

Hope to do better next time

This course is over an hour away, and finally got my chance, and hopefully play better when I return. Hills, trees a little water thrown in. Elevation changes!! Fun track. A little under 6200 yards from tips. Every thing was in very nice shape. Not perfect, but well worth the hot deal from golf now. All the par 3s are very worthy!! As Arnold said, " I'll be back!!!"

Good public Course.

This is not a Country Club. It is however a good public Course. Greens were a little slow but nice. Rough was to long. Fairways were mostly good. Good layout. Tough for ladies. Good , challenging Course.

Old-fashioned gem

We really enjoyed this scenic, moderately-hilly course. It is a great example of 1920's-era golf design aesthetic. The wholes are not very long (many short par-4's), and the greens have very subtle slopes.

Friendly staff, great course with interesting variations

2nd time that I played Reading CC, staff was very accommodating since I was a single. For me, the course is challenging and it requires shot placement; looking forward to a tournament I am organizing later this year at Reading.

old style

This is a wonderful old style layout. It is dripping with history as well. It isn't long but it plays longer than the yardage on paper and there is a premium on accuracy. Fairways are contoured with the hilly terrain and greens are sloped with subtle breaks as they were built when the course was designed. There isn't much I didn't like. The 11th hole is quirky but I understand it isn't an original hole. The par 3's are challenging and while three of them were different yardages I played the same club from the tee on It's not particularly close to where I live but I definitively will be returning to play there.

Reading CC a nice surprise.

Played yesterday at Reading Country Club, a bargain price to ride with the GolfNow discount. The course was in excellent condition. Greens are extremely fast but true. Fairways are narrow and the first cut is quite thick. We played the blue tees since the length is only 6150 yards but a slope rating of 131 lets you know there will be a few long holes. Great course for a great price. We'd come back.

RCC is on point

Yesterday had to be the 20th time I've played at Reading country club. Staff is unbelievably friendly, course is challenging, yet manageable for all skill levels. Well taken care of, with the exception of the Berks county residents who don't like bending down to fix their divots. I probably fixed 8 divots yesterday that were not from my ball. Also played behind a threesome of good golfers for 17 holes. But when you see a Gentleman waiting on the tee box at every single hole, you should probably just let him play through. I played by myself yesterday, and couldn't believe that these jabronis didn't let me play through. So the round that should have probably taken me 2 hours to get through, took 3 and a half. It's called pace of play fellas. Don't be inconsiderate. Even if you are the playing well. I would highly recommend RCC.

Worth a visit

Old fashioned course with lots of tree lined fairways and doglegs. It was in excellent condition. The greens were smallish and fast. My only complaint would be the " blind shots " that occur on a few holes. Being a " first time course player ", these shots caused some concerns. This course is certainly worth another visit because of the conditions and design. Last but not least is the magnificent Tudor styled clubhouse that houses a pro shop, food and beverages, locker rooms and is visible from almost every hole during the round.

In great shape

I have been playing Reading CC probably twice a year for 5 years now and I think this was the best shape that I have seen it in. The greens really rolled well, and had very few trouble spots.

We were lucky to get out in a gap of time with no one in front or behind, which made it better - always good to play in 3.5 hours.

Has some very scorable holes if you are playing well - if you drive it well you will have a lot of good scores.

some elevation changes and other hazards to make sure you think about your club selection.

Nice bar attached.

Fantastic Course!!

Can't say enough good things about this course and the staff. First time playing here, so I didn't know what to expect. We played as a foursome on a Sunday morning that we purchased on GolfNow, so I was initially leery about the pace of play, but those concerns were soon put to rest.

The drive up to the old style clubchouse is breathtaking. The architecture of the building is something you have to see. I arrived about 45 minutes before our tee time and was greeted by the starter and a very friendly gentleman working the pro shop. They could not have been more helpful; rolled some putts and we were off.

The course is absolutely beautiful. Quite a variety of holes, and not crazy long from the white tees, but you need to be accurate. I think I hit driver 5 times all day. I relied on my 3 wood and 5 wood to get me around this challenging layout. All the Par 3s had great character and I loved them all. The stream that runs through the course really can mess with your mind on a few holes and make you think, which is great. I scored a little higher than average, quite a few 3 putts and some difficult chips.

Everyone in our foursome loved the course and will definitely play it again. After our round we had some food and beer on their new open patio. View and beer were awesome, as was the food.

3 of the 4 guys live about 20 minutes from this course. I, however, drove 2.5 hours each way to play this course, and quite honestly, I would do it again, I loved it that much. Great job RCC!!
