Rating 69.7

Chapel Hill Golf Course in Reading enjoys a scenic backdrop of mature forests. The tucked away locale provides a peacefully secluded setting that is ideal for a round of golf. While it may not seem like a long layout at just under 6,150 yards, you'll soon forget about any lack of length once you get on the golf course. From the very first hole you're confronted with a water hazard, a stream that weaves around five other holes. The layout forces you to think through each hole, making the tough decision between going for it or laying up. Accurate shot placement is crucial throughout the golf course, especially on the back nine where there are several tricky doglegs and tough uneven lies. Mature trees tightly line the fairways at Chapel Hill Golf Course, and the greens are framed with strategically placed bunkers.

First Time Playing

On the fence

First off, sorry to the group I buzzed with my ball while I was playing the 190+ yard uphill par 3. First time playing and ended up playing by myself. A little knowledge would of helped.

Played the first weekend available after covid restrictionists lifted. Chapel hill had 3-4 days notice they could open. The greens were the best part of the course. Almost everything was shaggy. Including the MANY area’s of dandelions.( hopefully I can figure out how to post a photo) The ones you pick up and blow into the wind. Made it very hard to find a golf ball. Frustrating. I spoke to a regular and he said it’s as if they did nothing. From what I saw, I’d agree.

I liked the elevation changes thru the course and the fair amount of water around.. mostly straight forward and a couple tight shots. a little over 6000 yards from the back tees. Some bunkers were unplayable, and not because of rain.

Chapel hill is 60 miles from my house. If I get a deal, I might goback and hope to see the course in better shape.

Made a tee time and got confirmation. Paid the $8+ for convenience. Got there and they were closed. No sign. No message on their machine. Nothing on GolfNow. Sooo... how do I get my money back? I’ve played the course and I like the layout. But come on. I’ll definitely play here again in the spring but obviously not in the winter. GolfNow or they need some information updating.

Good but challenging course

Over the years I have played this course many times . It is a nicely laid out course . It is far from an easy course . My only issue with Chapel Hills is that the sand traps are Horrible . No other sand trap i have played here in Pa. is any better or worse . This course does lack a driving range and a decent practice putting green .

Challenging, well kept and affordable.

This is a nice but challenging course with a lot of water. The course is interesting and affordable enough to play very regularly and be fun without breaking the bank. There is a lot of water so even though it’s not a long course you need to play intelligently in order to score well.

Fix Cart Paths

I really like this course and would rate it a 5 if the cart paths would be maintained. I have played this course for 14 years and I have complained about the cart paths and they never seem to get fixed. I believe more people would have tournaments there and there ratings would improve if they fixed the cart paths.

The staff are great and they have a good selection of food at the club house.

Tough course

This course is an extremely well maintained 18 hole course in Southwestern Berks County . It is one of our toughest courses in the county . It is very well maintained . The grass is cut to perfect length as to greens , fairways or the rough . I play this course as one of my must plays each year . I do enjoy its style of play . It’s not for the beginner . Unless a 130 is acceptable for one’s first round . The pro shop area is very small . The bar and lounge area is a bit larger .

What Happened???

The greens are the only positives about this course — as everything else needs work. The fairways, sand traps, tee boxes and cart paths need some serious TLC!!! I know it only $42 on the weekend but even that is too much. Sorry but I cannot lie to my fellow,golfers. Very disappointing because it wasn’t always this way.
