Flying Hills Golf Course

Discover Flying Hills Golf Course in Reading, PA

Nestled amid the rolling hills of Reading, PA, Flying Hills Golf Course offers an engaging, budget-friendly golf experience that keeps players coming back season after season. Boasting a scenic setting with wooded fairways, gentle elevation changes and ample wildlife sightings, this member-friendly course delivers surprises at every turn — from its quirky hole designs to a charming on-site venue perfect for weddings and intimate gatherings.

A Thoughtfully Challenging Layout

Whether you’re a weekend duffer or a seasoned scratch golfer, Flying Hills presents a layout that tests your shot-making skills without feeling punitive. Golfers frequently praise its “interesting & challenging” routing, with narrow tee-to-green corridors, strategic bunkering and blind uphill approaches. “Tight course but fun to play. Some goofy holes and target golf…” perfectly captures the sense of adventure that awaits on each nine. From a demanding par-3 through the woods to a risk-reward par-5 that tees off over a pond, the course rewards accuracy and imagination in equal measure.

Course Condition & Value: Consistency in Progress

Green fees at Flying Hills Golf Course are widely regarded as a standout value — especially when compared to private clubs and high-end daily-fee tracks in the region. Reviewers note that “for March the course was in very good shape, can beat the price,” and “we also appreciated the winter rate and clubhouse hospitality.” While seasonal fluctuations in turf health and bunker conditions occur, the grounds crew actively addresses golfer feedback. Maintenance improvements in recent years have focused on fairway grooming and bunker drainage, demonstrating the course’s commitment to delivering quality playing surfaces that reflect its competitive pricing.

Warm Hospitality, With Room to Grow

From the moment you step into the pro shop to the final putt, Flying Hills staff strive to make your visit seamless. Many golfers highlight “friendly, helpful” counter attendants who expedite check-in, offer tee-time advice and share pointers about hidden yardages. At the same time, occasional reports of strict policies and early closures suggest that the clubhouse team is fine-tuning its approach to match the laid-back spirit of the course. As Flying Hills continues to refine staff training and communication, guests can expect a consistently welcoming environment both on the fairways and in the clubhouse.

Navigate with Confidence

Flying Hills’ tree-lined pathways and winding cart trails create a serene backdrop, but finding your way around the front nine can feel like a mini-adventure in itself. Some guests mention “confusing to navigate the golf course,” particularly on the first holes, where signage is less intuitive. In response, management is rolling out clearer directional markers and updated course maps to ensure that all players can focus on their game rather than their GPS. Once you get your bearings, though, each hole unfolds beautifully, revealing panoramic views of wooded hollows and distant ridges.

Amenities & On-Course Dining Delights

Beyond its twenty-seven holes of golf, Flying Hills offers a selection of amenities that enhance any visit. Divots Bar & Grille whips up a “great Cuban sandwich at a fairly good price” and stocks a full bar, perfect for toasting birdies or commiserating with friends after a tough round. Meanwhile, the adjacent Village Center has earned cult-favorite status with its pizza shop — “the best pizza shop” according to multiple reviews — making it the go-to spot for post-round slices and cold beverages. And don’t skip Louie’s Big Breakfast; patrons rave that the French toast is “best ever,” ensuring fuel for early tee times or a celebratory brunch.

The Wedding Barn: Picture-Perfect Gatherings

What began as a hidden gem for local golfers has blossomed into a picturesque event destination. The on-site wedding barn at Flying Hills Golf Course provides a rustic, intimate backdrop for nuptials, showers and milestone celebrations. Guests describe the setting as “lovely country” and “perfect for small weddings or parties,” with barn doors that open to pastoral vistas and twinkling lights creating an atmosphere that’s as romantic as it is relaxed. Whether you’re popping a champagne toast on the terrace or dancing under the rafters, this charming venue adds a memorable layer of hospitality to the Flying Hills experience.

Why Flying Hills Stands Out

• Scenic Variety: From creek-lined holes to tree-shaded par-3s, the course delivers visual appeal and shot flexibility.
• Outstanding Value: Competitive green fees and season-specific rates make quality golf accessible to all.
• Foodie Favorites: Pizza, Cuban sandwiches, a full bar and gourmet breakfasts keep everyone smiling, on and off the course.

• Continuous Improvement: Ongoing investments in signage, course maintenance and staff training signal commitment to guest satisfaction.
