The Berkshire Red Course – A Heathland Classic with Exceptional Variety

Enjoy The Berkshire’s Red Course, a unique par-72 layout with an unmatched mix of six par-3s, six par-4s, and six par-5s, offering a thrilling and strategic golf experience.

The Red Course lies on higher ground than the Blue and runs through slightly more undulating terrain, with more dramatic elevation changes between tees and greens. It offers a unique assortment of holes, in that it has six par 3s, six par 4s and six par 5s. The six short holes have been described as the best collection in the country, and must rank as amongst the most intimidating anywhere.
The par 4 6th is considered to be one of the best holes on the Red Course, and it is selected for the book “The 500 World's Greatest Golf Holes”. At 360 yards, it is not a long par 4, but the shape of the pronounced dog-leg means that precision is required from the tee. The cleverly contoured and guarded green is a great example of Fowler’s skill for design.
