Golden Oaks Golf Club in Fleetwood, Pa. is considered one of Berks County's finest courses with a four-star rating from Golf Digest, which also named it as one of the top "Places to Play." It was voted the "Best Public Course" by readers of Berks County Magazine. Designed by local architect Jim Blaukovitch, the golf course has a classic design that appeals to players of all skill levels. The course has wide, inviting fairways but there are also some challenges provided by the rolling terrain, featuring elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. Be prepared for a variety of uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies. Trees line Golden Oaks Golf Club's fairways and strategically placed bunkers protect the greensides. The golf course has some tricky holes but it's not overly punishing for the high handicapper.

Great Day @ Golden Oaks

Have played here several times in past 2 years. Drove hour and fifteen from New Jersey for the strong layout and conditions...particularly the greens. Didn't disappoint. Only observation is bunkers need some sand. Otherwise teeboxes, fairways, and greens in great shape. Course is right in front of you, no gimmicks, fair test of golf. Staff is great and seems to attract a chill crowd. I walked as the elevation changes are subtle and it's very pretty with essentially no houses etc. to distract. Really nice layout...if you haven't played here give it a shot and I guarantee it will be in your rotation.

Unplayable Bunkers

At first glance the bunkers look decent, raked but the sand under the surface has not been maintained! Like hitting off a sandy cart path.

Before you think this guy doesn’t know the correct technique, up until last year I played 125+ rounds of golf per year, maintaining a 7 hdcp with 45 yrs of experience. I played out of a lot of bunkers!

Either work to release the compaction of the sand or add more sand.

Basically ruined a decent score.

Other than the lousy bunkers, I know just don’t hit into them, it a great course and worth the price of admission.

Great Day on a Great Course

My wife and I can see why this has been ranked highly among public courses. Maybe a hair slow but finished in under four hours. Great layout with nice elevation changes true greens and appropriate variety. Love the “Tin Cup” finishing par 5! Definitely will play again

Love the layout

One of my favorites. Greens are true and roll out, even after rain the night before. Did not wait at any hole or for any shot. My one criticism is the bunkers. Although some were a product of the rain the night before some are in need of improvement regardless of weather. All the staff from the pro shop to the starter were friendly and courteous. Greens fees compared to other courses are fair. They stack up well. I've paid more for less. I love the layout of the course. There isn't a single hole that i dislike.

The only off course amenity that I experienced is the snack shack at the turn. The hot dogs are great!!

Hidden Gem

Course is a hidden gem. Not too many people know about it, which makes it special. As you pull up to the bagdrop you think your pulling up to a ski lodge. They have a range, and huge putting green to get warmed up before your round. The course itself is a treat, each hole has a unique feature that you can remember after your round. Greens were firm,fast,and true. Pace of play was good for a Saturday morning, and on course amenities included a bathroom for my way in the middle of each 9, as well as a beer cart, and fully stocked halfway house. The pro shop had a good selection of clothes from different manufactures and were a fair price. After our round we had dinner, which was fantastic with a good drink selection. Definitely worth the drive if you live further away.

First Time Playing

Nice course but imrovements can be made.

I want to start by saying this course is definitely more difficult than others I have played. One of the biggest things I was disappointed about playing here was the sand...of course the sand was still saturated from rain the previous day but for the cost of playing here I would hope the grounds crew would have at least turned the sand over. It was impossible to play out of...I know...just take relief from it, but I honestly try to play my ball as it lies as much as possible. The course designer is the same as Foxchase but the sand in the bunkers very different. Please rake the bunkers...

On another note we played at 7:10am and there was not any real food options for us even at the turn. The girl working the snack shack was very kind but I had to convince her to sell me a partially cooked hot dog and she wasn't too happy but I compensated her for letting me buy it, the other guys I played with went hungry. No breakfast burritos or sandwich options so eat before you come or stop at Wawa.

The greens were the highlight of this course as they are huge and in excellent condition and very firm I even was able to get backspin action on some of my approach shots which was really cool to experience. They are difficult and I did have way too many 3 putts but I also sank some long putts because the greens do roll true. Also the cup is cut very sharp so we had a few go full circle and back out...ouch.

Okay, last thing I will mention is that the tee box colors are definitely different but I just wondered as to why?? The starter recommended we play from the black tees which were really the "whites"... well why don't you just make them white? Lol small thing but I guess it's an asthetic thing idk. Come here and play. It's definitely a challenge. I hope to score much better next time I play here.

Unbeatable value

I happily make the 1 hour 15 minute drive from Philly to play this course all the time. If you're in the area and haven't played this course then you're seriously missing out. Course is in unbelievable condition and the greens roll true. Feels like you're playing a private course. Hands down has been my favorite course to play in PA thus far. Very friendly service. Range is great. Food is also awesome. Get a cheeseburger from the halfway house at the turn. You're welcome

Great Course

I love this course. This was the 4th time this week I drove 1 hour and 30’minutes to play this course. 100% worth it. My son and I played and we had a blast. We got caught behind 2 hackers but it was ok. Didn’t stop us from throwing darts on the course and hitting bombs. We had a good time. It’s a great course.
