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.

Great course slow play traps need work need of Ranger

Like the course traps need work pay play was terrible. They need to get arranger to speed the player up the players that are out there. Don’t understand that they back up. The course is not acceptable in place.

Old School gem

Played Reading on a Tuesday Afternoon. Course was not crowded and times are more available than most with reasonable rates. The new EZ GO carts were nice.The greens were excellent! Fairways very good but starting to brown some from recent hot, dry weather. Tees were good and rough had some clover, but I'm ok with that. The only real issue was bunkers. They definitely need some work. ( I was fortunate enough to avoid them but they were visibly bad). Overall an interesting course that's a good value. Course has hills and many shade trees which is nice on a hot summer day.

Eastern Pa Gem

This course has a traditional layout and a great set of greens. Definitely the best conditioned greens I've played all year. Not a long course but one where you have to play smart and hit many different shots. Three of the par 3s are truly outstanding. If you want an enjoyable round give this course a try. You won't be disappointed. Only disappointing item was snack bar really didnt have much to offer after the round.

Courses in very good shape, greens were smooth and holding well. Not super fast but not slow either.

Course is playing great

Probably the best condition I've seen this course.

Greens were rolling pretty smooth but receiving shots well.

Fairways we're in very nice condition (I'm sure the grounds crew is happy for a break in the wet weather).

Rough, truely a test and a penalty for being out of position.

Only thing are the bunkers, some have been renovated and are good, others are awaiting their facelifts.

Overall a very nice course and layout.
