Berkshire Country Club


As I said in my previous post about Prairie View, Berkshire was the course I played at all the time when I was younger.  I started taking my first lessons here at age 5, but enough on that time for the course.  Berkshire Country Club is located here off of 45th St on the south side of Gage.  Berkshire has remained mostly the same since I played there in my youth, aside from a tree or two missing.  All in all the course is very popular to people around here and gets good reviews.  For  me the greens were the best part of the course, they were rolling really nice and true, which made putting difficult.  The fairways were just average for around here there were spots where there was no grass and the ground looked pretty rough, but for around here that is almost expected.  The tee boxes were in pretty good condition aside from a few that you could maybe break your ankle if not watching your step.  Berkshire does not really have any bodies of water that come into play but if you can't hit the ball straight the trees or someone's backyard could come into play for you.  Berkshire is pretty similar to Western Hills if I had to compare courses.  Berkshire Country Club is a good place for golf but wouldn't be my first choice in courses around the area.
