Berkleigh History

Berkleigh was founded in October 1925 and incorporated in
1927. Robert White, a native of St. Andrew's Scotland, and first president of
the Professional Golfer's Association (PGA of America) was our course architect
and superintendent. Robert White was truly a man of great vision. We honor him
for this championship golf course set among the majestic rolling hills of
Kutztown, Pennsylvania. The club, founded by residents of Berks and Lehigh
counties, is easily accessible from both counties; hence the name Berkleigh.
Previously a private country club, Berkleigh is now open to the public.
