What the club says: Theale Golf Course, designed and constructed by owner Mike Lowe, was founded in 1996. Set in 150 acres in the Berkshire countryside, this young, yet quickly established 18 hole golf course offers an interesting and enjoyable game for golfers of all abilities.
Although gently undulating, this parkland course is deceptively challenging. Holes varying in length from 154 yards to 519 yards (off the yellow tees), and numerous hazards in between ensures a game at Theale Golf Club remains interesting throughout.
The doglegs demand precise drives (such as the 14th – if you clear the water hazard you may be in with a birdie chance) and par 3’s guarded by water or sand traps (such as 6th and 13th respectively) form quality tests of golf.
Water is featured on nine holes and approximately 60 bunkers of varying shapes and sizes ensure your skills continually are tested.
The elevated tees on the 11th (yellow and white tee) and the 13th (white tee) both provide panoramic views over the attractive course.
All tees are sand based. Summer tees and greens are playable all year round.
The course boasts exceptional drainage making Theale Golf Club one of the few courses in the area that is playable throughout most weather conditions.
With the 9th and 18th both finishing close to the clubhouse, you can enjoy a short stroll to our friendly bar for a refuel or a relaxing wind down.

Reviewed Sep 13 2018 by - rated 4 out of 5 Theale has come along incredibly well over the last few years the green keepers have done an excellent job with the greens and clearing away lots of old bushes and over grown rough areas. This has helped to speed up play and allow air to circulate around the course more and also give more visibility. If you haven’t played there recently I would recommend another visit

Reviewed Aug 30 2018 by Mark - rated 5 out of 5 Great course, friendly club and the best view for a drink in Theale! It\'s a great place to develop your golf with competition groups being drawn so you get to play with a variety of golfers, this improved my game immensely. Can do pay and play but if playing regularly being a member has more benefits imho.

Course is greatly improved by the dedicated groundsmen. A lot of work has gone into clearing scrub and tidying and it is now a very pleasant outlook. Greens are playing well and have been looked after well, especially after the very dry weather.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Jun 6 2018 by - rated 4 out of 5 Played Theale 5/6 years ago and it was terrible but now they have certainly sorted things out. Greens running true, fairways well kept, bunkers still a bit iffy. Just need to learn to hit a fade for some of the holes.

Reviewed Jun 12 2017 by Anon - rated 3 out of 5 As someone picking up clubs for the 1st time in 14 months I joined a couple of members at the weekend and have to say the old reviews are no longer true. Wentworth it is not BUT all the basics were there\\tee\'s - a couple were a bit ropey but on the whole OK\Fairways - well defined with a bit of clover here and there\Greens - not fast but pretty true\Bunkers - probably the weakness of the course\\And as a couple of members I spoke to said, who knew that if you looked after the course people will come. Probably going to join in the next few weeks\\Why 3 stars, because a lot of course are over rated for what they are. If they keep going on the work, 4 stars is possible.
