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.

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.

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.

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.

Decent track

Good course condition. Layout is on the short side, although a couple par-3s are lengthy from the back tees. Overall, nothing great but not bad. Great value at the $16 I paid!

Nice traditional holes

Reading country club was in moderate condition and provided an enjoyable day of golf. Pro shop people were friendly and we had no problem with our golf now time. The course has some really nice holes and was in pretty good shape. Bunkers were sparce, but being worked on. The sand based bent grass greens putted very true with better than average speed. First time out on this course and I would go back.

Reading CC is a great place to play

Tree lined fairways, variety of holes, slope from the whites is 125 so it's a good test of skills, some blind shots on hills, creek running through 7 holes, well maintained throughout, and lightning fast greens with subtle breaks.

still one of the best deals around

Played here in April and the greens were lightning speed.. This is a real shotmaker's course and you need to know the course well to score well here... The elevation changes and slopes on the greens will eat your lunch the first few times you play here.. This course is great practice for teaching control of your game.. We got a deal for 15 dollars mid week and you just cant beat it.. The staff here is super as well.
