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.

Classic course

The course topography stood out, this being my first playing of Reading. The sloping fairways were the highlight of the round. Definitely some interesting holes that make you think. The corridors are a bit narrow on some of the holes, but it seems like they are constantly improving the course. Solid course overall.

In very poor condition right now

Unfortunately, Reading CC is in poor condition relative to last year. Grass wasn’t cut on tee boxes, fairways or rough. There was no sand…I mean none in the bunkers. Looked like there were no maintenance crew out in a week.

Lots of changes

The upgrades here are great. New bar, dining, pool table, and simulators added..

As far as golfing,, the greens were aerated recently so putting was disappointing. Other than that, they are really working on maintaining this course. I hope the price remains reasonable though as this is my favorite course to play.

Good Golfing

Matched up with a group of three to make a foursome. Great group of guys. I had a fantastic time. Seems like RCC golfers have great golf etiquette. Third time I was matched up and third time it has been a pleasant experience.

RCC is one of the better, as well as more challenging, courses around.

Look forward to getting back out there.

Always Enjoyable

Drove an hour to play this course and it was well worth it. If it were geographically closer to Philly it would cost almost double the price.

It never fails that you meet the nicest people to play with. The staff treats you like you are old friends.

Course conditions were very good although their bunkers could use some TLC

Love playing here.
