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.

The manager/owner who took care of us was really freindly. My wife and I played a quick 9 here and had a great date night. No one was on the course and it was beautiful out. Will come back.
Nice layout and greens.
Rain caused course to be cart path only but greens were smooth and quick after being punched and the rain helping.
Carts and cart paths need repair
Fun course, friendly staff, but the carts are falling apart and the cart paths are in need of repair.
Great value course
Overall it’s a great value for the money. The carts are a bit dated and the paths are mostly horrific, but the course itself is well taken care of. Staff is always friendly. Decent bar for those turn/post round beverages and glizzies.
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!!
