Fairways Family Golf, near Emmer Green, Reading is a unique facility for locals to practice and grow our golfing skills. A beautiful setting and a really good nine hole course open to all it is on the site of what was half of the old Reading golf course; the other half being developed for more than 200 homes. However, it is now under threat of closure as its owners are wanting to focus on the Caversham, a challenging 18 hole golf course for good golfers only.

By contrast  the Fairways Family Golf centre offers a number of different ways to enjoy golf that everyone, irrespective of age or ability can enjoy. 

In addition to a 9-hole golf course there is a 9-hole Foot Golf course as well one of the countries newest and best 18-hole Disc Golf courses. All of these activities are set upon the backdrop of the beautiful South Chilterns countryside with stunning views over Reading and beyond. 

It's not just a place to play golf but a space where people can come together, share experiences, relax in beautiful countryside while enjoying the sports.

The closure of this centre would mean more than losing a sports facility . It would mean losing a new and growing part of our community that promotes physical health, mental well-being and social interaction.

Disc golf is the country’s fastest growing sport. This is regarded by users as one of the best disc golf courses in the country and has therefore a huge potential.

Foot golf is fun for everyone and a good leisure activity for all.

This family golf centre has been open for less than two years. It has not received any advertising or promotion yet already has a loyal group of local golfers and regional disc golfers, generated through word of mouth. It offers a unique leisure and sport experience 

We urge you to maintain and develop this valuable resource which gives people an accessible way into the sport and just needs more time and promotion to achieve commercial success.
