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.

Fastest greens ever

This was my 3rd time this year playing this great course. Although I don't like the first hole (it's to difficult right out of a 1 hour drive) the other 17 are absolutely wonderful. I'm not kidding when I say the greens were the fastest I ever played in 35 years. They were so true that if you just got the ball rolling on a straight line you could make a 25 footer with only a three inch back stroke. I made a bunch of good putts during the day. The conditions were second to none. I thought I was on tour all the sudden. I will go back soon and if I could just score well on one I'm sure I could shoot in the mid seventies. One just kills me all the time. Revenge shall be mine.

Beware becoming a member

This course is excellent. However the management is extremely dysfunctional. In the last 2 yrs, they have lost over 100 members and have had a revolving door with the head chefs. I know of a member who was banned from the course for writing a negative comment on a customer survey card from the restaurant. Play the course and enjoy. Become a member at your own risk as it was not uncommon for management to cancel memberships with no refunds.

The course was very well maintained. We have not had rain in over 6 weeks and the greens were fantastic. The large rocks placed throughout the course were absolutely beautiful.

still an excellent choice

Golden Oaks has maintained itself well over the years. The staff is excellent and the course has a wonderful layout. The greens had been aerated 10 days previous to playing here on 8/30 and a little bumpy but not terrible. The back 9 is certainly the better of the 2 nines and the last few holes are real gems. Will definetly be back soon and really enjoyed the round.

A Must Play

The staff was friendly and they have a new chef and menu. The course was in excellent shape and the greens were great. From check-in to the end the staff was friendly and despite some other reviews, the pace of play was not an issue, even on a busy day. Dinner afterwards was great. I also play Reading CC nearby, and the separate operators of that restaurant practically chase you away after golf to flip the tables to new customers.

Nice Track

Play this course for the first time. Course was well maintained. The greens were in excellent shape and rolled true. Course design was rather open. I like the elevation changes on your approach into some of the greens. I did find the pro shop staff a bit cold. Starter was fairly friendly. I will be back for sure.

Great conditions

Not and overly difficult course. It has wide fairways, fairly large greens and not too much tree trouble. The fairways were in great shape and the rough was not extremely deep. The greens were rolling decently quick and very true. Some greens had a decent amount of slope to them but held shots very nicely. There are a few holes where water comes into play. The sand traps were raked nicely as a found a few that day. it was a hot day and we saw the beverage cart a few times which was nice. They also provided water on the course. I would rate the course as a very comfortable course to play and would recommend the trip there for the great conditions.

What happening to the course

Was a very hot Saturday and no beverage cart and the only snack shack was closed. No ranger to keep the pace of play reasonable. We arrived at the course 15 minutes early and are bags were not place on a cart until 15 minutes after our tee time. I believe the starter had a problem with women golfers. As I saw him send several men golfers before he sent us out. The new owners need to be friendlier and respect the women golfers.

Golden Oaks gets the gold

Good course.

Bent grass tees and greens were cut low and in good condition, although many greens had a lot of ball marks. Rough was also cut low and quite manageable.

Enjoyable and challenging layout.

I’d give it 4.5 stars but will round up to 5.

Good clubhouse.
Good value at my Hot Deal of ~$34.
