Reading Country Club

Been a few years, and the hot deal was toooo good, I couldn’t afford NOT to come an hour + to play. Put up a nice 42/43 with 29 putts .

Greens were fast, and in different levels of condition throughout the course. Can only remember 2or 3 rough ones, but the pin was in a good spot on those greens . Tee boxes were getting worked on. Noticed workers raking, dragging and blowing tee boxes off from remnants of what appears to be aeration. Some tees had all tee markers together almost boxes were open. . New growth gives hope they are getting better.

Elevation changes and un even lies make it interesting. Some rough spots around. Nothing horrendous.

Thank you to the starter!! Got me out a little early and by myself. Passed a 2 some on 5 and skipped over another one at the turn. Had no one in front of me on the back and finished the round in less then 2.5 hours!! Made a good day better for my 80 minute ride home.

I recommend this course. Get a GPS, will definitely help here.

Terrific layout new owners working on course but some holes on the back 9 are very burnt out. Biggest issue was the 3 groups ahead of us by the end of the day the first of the 3 was 2 full holes behind and despite this the group directly in front of us had a full hole open inns front of them very slow back 9 and a ranger could have certainly helped the delay

The course is in good shape. They’re spending some money to bring it up to par

the course conditions were great now that Brian is back...the work on No 5 is outstanding the only problem was the pace....the idiot 4sum in front did not let us play thru, we were 2, so we skipped No 4 then ran into a 2sum that thought they owned the course...extra balls waiting for green to clear than coming up 50 yards short....we had enough and only played 9.......nobody's fault just how people are in todays world......we will be back because it is too nice not to play......maybe a ranger would help???????

I always make sure I get back to play this course at least once a year because it is one of my favorite public courses. A great traditional layout that makes you hit many different shots and an outstanding set of greens. This isn't a course that you can just bomb away so you have to use a little strategy and think your way around. A couple of holes are under construction and that's OK because it shows the new owners are putting money into the course. The rough was up so it made for a tough test of golf if you missed the fairway. It also made the time to play the round longer because it was a little hard finding your ball. But, I wouldn't have it any other way. When you can play a public course rich in history with a truly spectacular set of greens you have to give it a try. I would play here every week if I lived closer.

Staff and patrons were grumpy and rude conditions were overhyped

After two days of rain, the course played well. To be a holiday, it was not packed and the value through GolfNow was fantastic.

Nice course that is under new management. Beautiful building and facilities, and very friendly staff.
