Men's and Seniors' Sections

East Berkshire Golf Club is a Club steeped in tradition but with a very inclusive attitude to members.  There is a regular roll up that takes place  on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  Saturday is very much a day for social golf in the morning with regular roll ups coming along and the afternoon is when our teams take to the course.  Men’s competitions are played on a Sunday.

We have a long tradition of team golf, and matches are played both home and away against other local golf clubs.  Many matches either have a brunch beforehand or a meal afterwards.

A Team: (also known as the First Team): Gentlemen category 1 players (generally handicap 5 and below)

B Team: Gentlemen with handicaps ranging from 6 to 12

C Team: Gentlemen with handicaps ranging from 13 to 18

19+: Gentlemen with handicaps above 19 

The Seniors' Section at East Berkshire is one of the biggest sections.  They play in the Reading and District Over 60's League and in 2018 won the league title.  In addition they also play many friendly fixtures, home and away; these friendly matches are for all gentlemen over the age of 55.

Ladies' Section

The Ladies' section offers a varied programme of activities at the Club for both 18 Hole, 9 Hole, and social activities.

The Ladies can play their golf on any day withTuesday mornings are reserved for their Competitions; those ladies who cannot play on Tuesday have a time reserved on Sunday.
