Type Municipal/Public
Par 70
Length 6162 yards
Slope 133
Rating 70.0

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.

better than ever

For those who want fast undulating greens that are in beautiful shape, go no further than Reading CC.. This course is maintained beautifully and has gotten better than ever.. The sand traps and tees are in fine shape and the rough is plentiful if you miss the narrow fairways. People pay 75-100 dollars to play a course as nice as this.. We paid 18 dollars with our discount.. The par 3's are outstanding and difficult on this course.. You must put this on your list if you have not tried it yet..

Good Old Style Course

Many mature trees line most fairways. Numerous
elevation changes make the course length a little
deceptive. Many up hill shots require a extra club or two. All in all an enjoyable round.

Historic, mature course

Always enjoy playing Reading Country Club. The course is in great condition. Bonus of seeing some classic Ferrari's , there was a car show set up on the driving range. I would recommend playing this course any time.

Reading in great shape early this season

I have played Reading many times since it went from Private to Public.. It was always in good shape and very challenging. However, the new Pro and Superintendent have done an excellent job in bring this old course back to top form, as it was before going public... Not overly long, which is perfect for me, it challenges you to make good straight tee shots and good approach shots as the greens are very challenging, somewhat small however very fast.. always a treat to play

cold windy day

course has a lot of elevation changes and awkward
lies, course not long but narrow fairways protect the course. greens ran fast and bunkers will need to be attended to ( were mostly made of dirt). would recommend for the hot deal only. I wouldn't pay full price. it's a nice course but its layout is average.

March Golf

Typical March day in eastern PA, windy and colder than the forecast. Course was in great shape, most surprisingly the condition of the greens, they were outstanding for this time of year!

1st day open

It was the first day of the season for the course. The course was soaking wet, but I didnt care, just wanted to get out. I will defiantely play here again in-season. The course was still good given the amount of water that was on it.

continues to improve

The course continues to improve and played nicely for a late autumn round. Greens could be just a bit smoother but overall very good conditions.

The greens are fast!

This course will play easy until you hit the last four holes only if you know your exact club yardages. The last holes are high handicap but if you never played them before good luck. A beautiful clubhouse and building surrounded by a historical gem of a course. Well maintained course.
