Golden Oaks Golf Club

Great layout, greens roll amazingly well, good pace of play, all around great spot. I wish it was closer, but then I am glad that it’s not, because it would be more money, and be mobbed.

We have played Golden Oaks numerous times and have always had a great experiences; however, our most recent visit was extremely disappointing. Our foursome was on a tee box waiting to tee off when two balls were hit into us one striking one of our party. When the foursome approached us they admitted to not saying FOUR. When we reminded them of golfer etiquette they became verbally abusive and combative threatening members of our party. They told us to go play at another local course. The foursome at fault included a Golden Oaks employee as well as Berks County junior golf champions. This type of behavior is not what you should expect on this caliber of course.

The thing that amazed our group the most, was how fast the greens are.The staff was excellent ,along with the course, restaurant, etc. We will definitely come back to enjoy this great course again.

Played on a Wednesday afternoon. Nice wide fairways. Pretty large greens that were lightning fast but consistent. Some of the holes seemed repetitive but still an interesting layout. The bunkers were not good. Wet, muddy, and gravely sand. They could all use a redo with fine, beach sand. Conditions on the rest of the course were pretty good. A few bare spots in some fairways but nothing terrible. I enjoyed the round and would have no problems playing it again. Pace of play was a bit slow but the weather was really nice and the place was packed so not a lot that could be done to help that.

I recently played here on a Friday and really enjoyed myself. My tee time was at 12:30 and got out on time. I thankfully was paired up with another guy who’d played the course before and he gave me some good tips. The course was in great shape, and since it’s been a dry fall the greens were hard and fast. My only issue was that we started to wait on the tees at 6, and it only got worse as the round went further on. By the time we got to the turn we stopped and grabbed food and drinks at the turn that were well priced and decent shack food instead of going into the restaurant. While waiting for our order we realized that there was a threesome, a foursome, and a twosome all on the tenth hole. My new friend asked if I would be willing to go back and play the front again. I reluctantly said yes, because I am not a fan of waiting over every shot. We asked the starter and he accommodated our request and said we should be clear for the front again. Well, he was wrong almost instantly. We were waiting again on the second tee for the second time for the day. End of story I only got to play the front nine, (twice) and our round took over 4 and a half hours. When packing up my bag a group came to the car next to me, and when asked their starting time was a full hour before mine. I guess it worked out, but a 5 and a half hour round on a fall afternoon is unacceptable. Not once did we see a ranger and obviously this course is overbooking itself without regards to the time of the player. I will play here again, because the nine o played were in great shape And the price was great and I’ve heard the back was even better. I just wish I would’ve have had a chance to play it.

The course is really beautiful and in great shape. Greens really too fast for my taste, but in good shape unlike many others we have played. Would have given 5 stars total except for the really slow pace on the back nine. Took 3 hours which is way too long on a weekday. Could have used a Marshall.

So with pending tropical storm you can not change your date or tee times you are stuck. After this I would never book through this website!

The course was in excellent shape the greens and tees were perfect.

The only reason why I did not give this 5 stars is because the bunkers have not been raked in a while. There's no rakes either due to covid-19. Other than that, the course conditions are outstanding! Especially the greens, which are running probably around a 12. The halfway house food is delicious as well. Can't wait for a week or two when the leaves turn. If you get a chance to play this gem, don't let it pass you by. If this course was any closer to Philadelphia you would be paying $100+ a round. I drive over an hour play this course and I'll do it any chance I get

Play this course several time every season and it has never disappointed. Best conditions for the value in the area.

Golden Oaks is in great shape. Greens are fast but very fair.

Over all it was a great experience and a fun course to play. We played from the back tees which made for a few challenging holes. The only downside we found was pace of play and waiting for most tee boxes. That being said our round was played mid day Sunday. The greens were fast but receptive and could use a little more care. Very few thin/bare lies which was nice.

Black flies were very bad. Little sand in traps. Black flies were very bad.

The course was in great condition. Greens rolled fast and true. Nice and friendly staff.
