Pincents Manor Golf Club, Reading. (1991 – 2000s)
From the Reading Evening Post Thursday 10 October 1991 - "The first part of Pincents Manor Golf Club complex is due to open next year and already there has been considerable interest from would-be members. The membership is set to close by the end of the month, so the message is get in quickly to avoid disappointment."

Thanks to Richard Anderson who informed us of the closure and provided the following information in April 2020 – “A nine hole course on a south-facing slope west of Reading between Calcot and the M4 which was managed by Pincents Manor Hotel. I played the course in either autumn 1999 or spring 2000 at which time it appeared on the point of being abandoned, with rough-length fairways, although at least two other groups were fighting their way around while I was playing. I was given a scorecard at the hotel reception which regrettably hasn't survived. The hotel itself closed in the autumn of 2018. However, the golf course had not been maintained for well over a decade before then.
The area has since become the proposed site of controversial housing developments. I remember the first hole was a short uphill par 4”.
