Pennsylvania Golf Courses : Berks County
Created on March 11, 1752, from parts of Philadelphia, Chester, and Lancaster Counties, and was named for Berkshire in England. Reading, the county seat, was named for Berkshire’s county town. It was incorporated as a borough on September 12, 1783 and as a city on March 16, 1847. The fertile Lebanon and Oley Valleys and the presence of iron ore attracted settlers by the 1730s. Thomas Penn worked to create Reading in 1748, which was connected by roads to Lancaster and Lebanon to the west. Conrad Weiser was an important colonial leader, and the Pennsylvania German element that he led has always prevailed in the county. The formation of Schuylkill County from Berks in 1811 left Berks without coal but having begun an iron industry early, Reading grew to be Pennsylvania’s third largest manufacturing city by 1900. It boasted steel mills and turned out heavy metal products such as locomotives and autos. Textiles, hats, and beer are Berks County traditions. Many small factory workers’ homes gradually enlarged Reading until a period of extreme deindustrialization began in the 1960s. Agriculture has always been strong and today features fruit, wheat, corn, mushrooms, and dairy products. Farms cover 44 percent of the county’s area. Let’s see the many great Pennsylvania golf courses in Berks County.

This facility has an eighteen hole regulation course and a nine hole regulation course. Both of these courses have pine trees lining their fairways. The Red/White Course's terrain varies from flat to hilly, and its greens are fast. There are water hazards that come into play on five holes. The signature hole is 8, a 371-yard, par 4, requiring an approach shot over water. The Blue Course (the nine hole layout) is easier because there are no water hazards. You can play nine holes on the Red/White Course, but you'll still have to pay the eighteen hole green fee.

This scenic course has tree-lined fairways, but they are typically wide open. The greens are large and have medium speed. There is water that comes into play on three holes. The first six holes run close together, so beware of other player's errant shots.

This course was built on rolling terrain, so you can expect some uneven lies. Water hazards come into play on a few holes, and a scattering of large trees can affect your shots. The fairways are wide, but tree lined, and the small greens are fast and well bunkered. The signature hole is 6, a scenic 350-yard, par 4, with a narrow fairway and a water hazard that comes into play down the entire length of the hole.

This quaint Pennsylvania course features average-sized greens that, for the most part, are flat; however, a couple of greens are undulating. There is also a two-tiered green, and one that is moderately sloped. The fairways are open. Foliage is limited to newly-planted trees that, once mature, will skirt and protect the fairways.

This course was built on rolling hills, so expect many uneven lies. Some of the fairways were carved out of a wooded area. The greens are larger than average and some of them are multi-tiered. Water hazards (four ponds) come into play on four holes. The most difficult hole is 17, a 469-yard, par 4, featuring a slight dogleg left fairway, out-of-bounds stakes on the left, trees on the right, and a green that is well-bunkered.

Pennsylvania Golf Courses Comments:
Although some of this course plays through tall pines, much of the course is very open. There are small, sloping greens that are generally open in front, allowing run-up shots that, in fact, become necessary as the fairways firm up in the summer. Although there are flat lies on every hole, only a well-planned and executed shot can avoid the downhill, uphill or side hill lies that influence the play on every hole. There are water hazards coming into play on three holes.

This long and difficult course has fast greens and narrow fairways. There are seven lakes and a few small ponds that come into play on the course. Numerous sand bunkers protect the fairways and greens. The golf professional stated, (the course is challenging, absolutely deserving of its rating of a ten, it's very hard).
