About
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.

Kindness goes a long way by: Jquinn
The staff at chapel hill aside from the amazing layout, got me hooked her about 8 years ago. You always feel like you are part of the family when you are greater with a smile and stellar service everywhere you look. Keep it up.
Well kept and great staff
Well manicured course. Front 9 is challenging.
Owners and staff are great people.
Bartenders and servers are also awesome!
Challenging layout
Chapel Hill offers an overall unique layout, especially for a non-private course. It tests the golfer skills as well as club selection options. One might even think of a need to add another club selection to their bag. Layout includes narrow fairways, challenging greens, multiple water hazards on one hole, par three holes with both elevated tee boxes as well as an elevated green (and not just fifteen feet elevation changes).
Nice Public Course
I play here periodically and always enjoy my experiences. This is a very fair course and well maintained. The staff is outstanding. There are a number of holes that make you really think about club selection...which makes the course a challenge. There is a simulator inside the clubhouse and the clubhouse is really nice. A great place to play...will be back this season.
Good value
Fun course with some technical sections. Great price and great value for the money. The only fault was the fairways were pretty long when I was there. Greens were very good and quite fast though.
Nice challenging course !!!
Nice course that offers a challenge for the novice golfer (I'm not that good). The course gives you a little bit of everything from hills and waterto tight fairways lined with trees. To my favorite hole #13 which is a medium length Par 3 with a serious drop off. Great course friendly staff and great price. My favorite course.
Nice Place to Play
Course has a nice layout. There are a number of holes that test your golf knowledge with club selection and shot landing location...a real challenge to gain the edge...great clubhouse...fantastic staff...
Love Late Fall Golf
Another beautiful fall day and the course was full. Everyone trying to get last round in before the cold. I started by myself but things slowed on no.4 so I joined with a two some. Course was in great shape for November. Slow play so I replayed 1 and 9 and left. 11 holes for 12 bucks is still a great deal. I had other things that needed done so I chose to not complete round.
Very nice track for the price
I live about 5 minutes away from Chapel Hill GC and play here quite often. Usually they have an affordable rate on GolfNow. But either way you look at it, paying $40 on a Saturday afternoon during the heart of the season at the counter is not bad at all either. Chapel Hill takes very good care of this course for how much foot traffic they have daily. Some of the older guys in my area while playing at chapel hill, will not let you play through their foursome. Even if you are playing by yourself. Just something I’ve noticed about this place during the 200 rounds in my life that I’ve played here. I’m guessing they’re just old, grumpy members that think the world owes them something.. Personally, i love the layout, and location of CHGC. It is a par 70 that will keep you honest at just over 6,000 yards. Hidden water hazards in the middle of fairways, and hidden sand traps. Driveable par 4’s, and very wide open fairways with a lot of tall grass. Worth the money every single time!
Good course for a good price
The staff is friendly, and the course has an interesting layout. Being out of position on this course can provide for plenty of hazards and out of bounds challenges. There are some water hazards to navigate, and some of the greens have some slope that can cause for some tricky putting. The course isn't all that long, but it can be a nice challenge. It's a fun course to play, and is also good if you like to walk. I just played it in the November, and the course does a good job keeping the greens in good shape and clear of leaves.
Tight
Tee shot critical. Tight Course that requires some shot making.
Unplayable
The fairways were cut too short and the greens would not hold a shot whether you came in high or low. Landing areas for the most part(from the back tees) were too small.
Five-some??
Staff allowed a group of five to play in prime time on a Saturday. Pace of play was ridiculously slow. Informed the staff at the turn and they did not remedy situation. Several groups behind them quit early. Very frustrating. Will not return.
Offers a challenge
I really like the feel of Chapel Hill. It reminds me of an old time golf course and although it looks straightforward enough, you need to be accurate especially off the tee or else you'll find your next shot to be tough if not impossible. It's not especially long but there are a few par 5s that will give you a run for your money. I'll definitely be back. I had a great time.
Nice opern course
Hole #9 tee directions were a little hard to find the tee. No wind shields on carts need to get updated carts or put wind shields on them.
Excellent Course Design
Excellent course design! Challenges are aplenty; from terrain to elevation differences on individual holes to tightness of holes to green play to traps and water hazard placements. You will get to know every club you have and maybe another you will want to add to your bag. Chapel Hill is perhaps the best overall public course in the area.
Chapel Hill worth 3 bells
Not bad, not great.
A couple holes on the back nine stood out, especially #12, an almost ridiculously difficult and intimidating hole from the back tees, with the added hazard of power lines which your tee shot is supposed to fly through. (The lines come into play again on a par 5, I think it was #14.) #13 was a fairly long par 3 with a drop of about a hundred feet to the green. #16 was a nice long dog leg left par 4, #17 a ~185 yard par-3 about 50 feet uphill.
Greens were in very nice shape and medium fast. Fairway grass was thin in many places, and the ground was wet.
Rains the day before meant cart path only here as the course apparently doesn’t drain well.
Speaking of cart paths, bring a kidney belt, and maybe a seat belt.
I’d give it 3 out of 5 stars, but for $17 it was a good deal.
As the course took me over an hour to get to, I doubt I’ll return.
Good old chapel
Love the layout and the staff is very friendly. Well positioned sand traps and ponds. I use every club in the bag at chapel , plenty of variety on the holes. Definitely the best public course in the area. Cart paths is the only downside.
