Reading Country Club

Today started cold but warmed a bit during the round. My regular playing partner bailed out because it was cold. I joined up with a much younger golf than me. ( I'm 77 he was approximately 35ish) He was really good vs my game is fair at best. We enjoyed each other's company. Hole 8, par 3, across water and uphill - I watched his hole-in-one. I was excited. And was very pleased with himself. Then went birdie, birdie to back that up. I can't say it gives me hope, but that's not why I play golf.

Packed with threesomes and foursomes moving slowly. Maybe it’s because a lot of people had off from work today which is the Monday after Easter.

Honestly was looking forward to playing this course. When we arrived we were told we were playing with another random pair. I asked if this was on their website to which the gentleman said it definitely was. I’ve checked both their website and GOLFNOW app and haven’t seen that rule. If it’s there they certainly don’t make it obvious or clear when booking. As a first time golfer it’s extremely uncomfortable playing with random people. I personally find it very rude and inconsiderate to not allow people to play alone or in pairs. Seems they don’t care if their customers are uncomfortable they just want the money. Poor communication and poor customer service. Wouldn’t recommend this place for that alone.

Not long but challenging. Well taken care of but lingering obstacles of older courses.

Great Fall visit.

Old, established course requiring target skills. Course is in great shape, fairways and greens. Hope to play there again next summer.

course in really ngood shape...a little wet from days of rain but still very playable...freindly staff and not too crowded for a sunday noon tee time....excellent example of old school golf!

This is my favorite course in eastern pa. 18 great greens, nice fairways, and most tees in good condition. A tremendous set of par 3s. The rough was a bit high but it was nice seeing the definition with the fairway. You don't see that a lot with most public courses. The layout is a classic, not long, but very demanding. The staff is both friendly and accommodating. If I lived closer I would play here three times a week.

Maybe it’s my fault for expecting more, Greens were coming back from aeration, the tee boxes are in need of water and grass. Lot of blind shots. The layout seems like it was squeezed in. The range was like hitting out of the rough. The whole experience was more like an average muni. Which in this case felt well below average for a country club. For 80 bux, I’d say play somewhere else.
