The Berkshire

#Golf

The Berkshire Golf Club, founded in 1928, is home to two highly acclaimed heathland courses, the Red and the Blue, both designed by Herbert Fowler. Located in Winkfield Row, Ascot, the club is celebrated for its natural beauty, with pine and heather-lined fairways that blend seamlessly into the landscape.

The Red Course is particularly unique for its “six of each” layout – six par-3s, six par-4s, and six par-5s – offering a diverse and engaging challenge. The Blue Course, while often considered the Red’s slightly more conventional sister, is equally demanding, particularly with its formidable opening par-3.

The Berkshire is a traditional members’ club that warmly welcomes visiting golfers. It has a rich history of hosting prestigious amateur events, including the annual Berkshire Trophy. The club’s commitment to maintaining Fowler’s original design integrity, combined with recent renovations, ensures a top-tier golfing experience, making it a must-play for enthusiasts of classic heathland golf.
