Chapel Hill Golf Course

About
Chapel Hill Golf Course in Reading enjoys a scenic backdrop of mature forests. The tucked away locale provides a peacefully secluded setting that is ideal for a round of golf. While it may not seem like a long layout at just under 6,150 yards, you'll soon forget about any lack of length once you get on the golf course. From the very first hole you're confronted with a water hazard, a stream that weaves around five other holes. The layout forces you to think through each hole, making the tough decision between going for it or laying up. Accurate shot placement is crucial throughout the golf course, especially on the back nine where there are several tricky doglegs and tough uneven lies. Mature trees tightly line the fairways at Chapel Hill Golf Course, and the greens are framed with strategically placed bunkers.

Needs Upgrades Immediately
Area has been in a drought for several weeks so some of the dirt tee boxes and such can be excused. The greens were good generally speaking. Every cart was damaged in some way and their suspensions were blown because the cart paths were a disaster.On holes 9-13 the cart path was so bad it did not seem to exist any longer. You were "off roading" on a steep grade in a cart that had no suspension left, it was precarious.
Pace and Conditions Not Worth the Price to Play
Been playing Chapel for over 20 years and it’s now a place a I won’t go back. The cart paths are literally dangerous. And for how poor this place drains after rain and the amount you are cart path only makes it a punishment. The fairways are so thin now that half your lies are 50% dirt in the middle of the fairway. The #1 most inconsistent rolling greens in Berks county bar none. Now, today after playing a 2 hour and 40 minute front and getting attitude from Todd about questioning the pace of play is enough for me. I know it’s a Sunday and it will be slow, but told them about two groups being behind over 2 holes and what I get is what can you expect it’s a Sunday. How about get the guy sitting behind number 7 green on his phone to go have them pick it up a bit and you can turn the round into a 4 hour round of golf. But that is not received well and a patron for 20 years is now no more. The lack of care for the course and the people that play there is now to much for me. Like I said on the way out, there are plenty of courses in this area and I intend to take my business to them instead. Just a shame that’s all.
Challenging greens
The holes were relatively short and not overly difficult but add in the speed and undulation of the greens and this course makes for a challenging round. A couple holes are a little tricky to navigate if you’re new to the course. The only downside is the terrible condition of the cart paths and the age of the carts. The last time I was there one of our carts stopped running and had to be pushed back to the clubhouse. This outing, there was an abandoned cart on the first fairway. I am guessing also broke down. My cart, I noticed partway into the round had a chunk of rusted metal hanging from underneath. Made it through 18 though. I got a good price through Golfnow and if I can get another good price in the future will be back.
Very nice!
In great shape, greens were excellant and a nice variety of holes
In great shape!
Greens were in fantastic shape, bunkers too. Very rare for courses with similar price ranges. Played as a single on Sunday. Expected to get paired up but didn’t. Two foursomes let me play through. Quick fun round at Chapel Hill.
Great conditions
I only get to play this course about once a year and every year it is in excellent condition. See you next year!!
Great conditions (especially greens)
I haven’t been here in about a year but the course is great. Greens are pretty quick but rolling true. They were holding most approach shots, except #1 & #16, which always run off the back (you gotta hit it as high as a tour pro to make some of these greens hold lol)
Kudos to the Greenskeepers! Keep up the great work!
Respectful. Nice course to tune your skills.
The course overall was in great shape! The bunker were had real soft sand in them. Made for good practice for getting out of sand bunkers. Tee boxes were nicely mowed and green! The greens were tight and fast! Some tight fairways and water hazards throughout the course. I had a fun time working on all types of situations you run into learning this great game! It’s a very challenging course for beginners to learn on. The pace was great I don’t know if it was because of the holiday, but I was around the course in no time. I highly recommend it!!
Awesome Value
Chapel Hill is a great course and the best value I have found yet. Course was in great condition and had a mix of open holes and challenging, tighter holes.
Hidden Gem
Excellent course with tricky greens and some tight fairways. Great challenge from the back tees with a couple of hidden landing areas. Not a”Driver” on every hole unless you like searching for golf balls in the water. Play smart tactical golf.
