BERKLEIGH GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 Kutztown, PA, USA
Designed by Robert White


Berkleigh Golf Club sits in the rolling farmland of Berks County near Kutztown, Pennsylvania, approximately an hour northwest of Philadelphia. The course was designed by Robert White, a Scottish-born professional who served as the first president of the PGA of America and worked as head professional at Ravisloe Country Club outside Chicago before turning to course design in the early twentieth century. White's architectural work, while less documented than his contemporaries, reflected the practical sensibilities of a career club professional who understood playability and maintenance considerations.
The layout occupies terrain characteristic of southeastern Pennsylvania, with gentle elevation changes and open agricultural land that has been shaped into a parkland-style course. The property features mature tree-lined fairways and traditional green complexes that reflect the design principles of White's era, emphasizing strategic shot placement over penal hazards. As a regional facility in Pennsylvania's golf-rich Lehigh Valley area, Berkleigh serves the local golfing community with a course that balances challenge and accessibility.
The club operates within the tradition of smaller Pennsylvania golf clubs that have maintained their courses through decades of changing architectural trends. While Berkleigh does not host major championships or appear on national rankings, it represents the type of community-oriented facility that forms the backbone of American golf, offering members and guests a straightforward test of the game in a rural Pennsylvania setting.
Reviews
You get what you pay for here. If you get it under 60$ great deal if you are paying more than that it’s not worth it. It’s a nice course with usually a friendly staff. Good practice area and quick rounds.
