The Berkshire Golf Club
Visitor Information
The Berkshire Experience
Only 20 minutes from Heathrow and just off the M3 junction 3, The Berkshire Golf Club offers two stunning world class golf courses. Opening in 1928, the Red and Blue courses sit on 372 acres of Crown Estate heathland and were designed by well respected course architect, Herbert Fowler . Both courses offer a wonderful contrast and variety of the highest quality.
The Red course with its unique six par 5's, par 3's and par 4's offers an excellent opportunity for birdies but beware the par 3's.
The Blue course is an undulating delightful course which is slighty tighter from the tee and starts with a demanding par 3 across a valley of heather.
