Reading Golf Club - Berkshire

Reading is very pleasing on the eye, the fairways are great and the greens look good, with changes in elevation on quite a few of the holes, the course plays great too. I was made very welcome by the staff and members, a three ball on the first tee even allowed my group in front of them as they thought we would probably play faster than them.

Overall a great days golf, one word of warning, in hot, dry weather this course can be really tricky. The humps & bumps on this course can easily catch you out on your first time round, especially the ones just in front of the greens. You can hit what you think is a great shot going right for the pin only to see it suddenly bounce sideways as it pitches just before the green.

This is a hole where you just cannot take your biggest club and smack it down the fairway, club selection from the tee is vital and with the viscous right to left slope of the fairway you either have to hit a left to right shot or aim at the right hand edge of the fairway.
