What the club says: Kingsthorpe provides a challenging yet fair test of golf synonymous with the design skills associated with the legendary Harry Colt. Accuracy off the tee is paramount to afford the golfer the opportunity to hit the right part of the undulating greens. Many birdie opportunities await if you can achieve this, whilst par becomes tough if off line or faced with downhill sloping putts.

A few sixes away from Northampton cricket ground
The greens were excellent. A few very long par 4's . Very hilly .Enjoyable but tiring.16 Hc/p - 69 years old.

sub 3 hour rounds abound
I am a member here and I probably pick times that are less popular but I always get 18 holes in here within 3 hours.I have played every course in Northamptonshire and I can't think of any other course that can boast that.
in these times of penalising slow play this course solves it without really trying.









A jewel in the middle of Northampton
Beautiful course with lots of trees. Greens in beautiful condition, fast but with many undulations. Very tricky. First time we've played there and look forward to the next round when hopefully I will play it better. Nice bar and food good(Round played: May 2019 - Score: 130 Handicap: 36.8)








Hidden gem
(Round played: Mar 2019 - Score: 94 Handicap: )








nigel and jimmy play a gem
course in good condition if greens a little challenging.both of us been members here for a few years and are always looked after.
tight course with good selection of holes.









Compact course in Northampton
Played with 2 colleagues around this course taking advantage of a tee off times offer. Arrived and booked into the club shop to meet the most miserable disengaging Pro you could wish to meet. No words of advice, no greeting no nothing - does not want to make you go back!!. One of us hired a trolley (winter rules) for a ?5 one of the straps was broken. The course is a very tight course and definitely challenges your iron play. The greens were in very good condition for February and the fairways played ok, a little bare in places but it is winter. The tees were a mixture of winter and normal greens so no real complaints there. Deceptively undulating so will test your stamina if you carry your clubs. There are two major downsides to playing here, especially for visitors, neither the stroke saver or the scorecard contain a course layout and the signage between holes is absolutely terrible, to the extent we missed a hole out by playing to the wrong green and had to go back and replay them - how embarrassing. The clubhouse is very modern and the staff in the 19th were warm and welcoming (more than you can say for the club Pro), overall enjoyed the game but they could do a lot more to attract visitors and make them want to return. Cost ?14 per round.








Urban course. A little cramped









Decent
This was a decent course.Challenging greens and overall you needed to think about your game.
Some of the fairways were not in great condition.
But overall enjoyed the course.
Would be nice if the club house was still open at 8:30pm to get a post round drink!

Best kept course
A true gem here in Northamptonshire. Tight fairways challenge your accuracy, greens to hone your judgement skills ( who needs a flat surface) . View the course flyover on the website you will want to play . Good clubhouse for your event, and a half way house too.(Round played: Jun 2017 - Score: 117 Handicap: 12.9)

I had only played this course once and many years ago so was looking forward to returning. I'd found a great deal on one of the golf apps so got excellent VFM.
The course was under a sea of dead autumn leaves which did make the ball hard to find ... on the fairway ... twice! However for this late in the golfing year the greens were in fine nick and were a pleasure to put on.
I'd forgotten just how tight this course was, if you haven't been before it really does take up a ridiculously small amount of room for an 18 hole course. It's situated right in the heart of a bunch of Northampton housing estates. It's so tight in fact that there is a particular area of the course where the tee boxes of the 3rd, 5th and 7th and the greens of the 2nd and 6th are all within a half football pitch of each other. I know of no other course where this is the case, that's how tight it is.
There are a couple of tee boxes that are literally right at the side of the green that often an errant shot comes flying nearby. On no other course have I heard the cries of "fore" as often as can be heard on this course. With all that said though, this extreme tightness mysteriously adds to its charm.
It is tight but if you can hit a ball straight it is very easy to score. If you can hit a ball long and straight then it truly is a gift of a course. A number of the par 4s are very drive able, the 3rd, 10th and 11th being examples. But even after the drives on the 1st, 8th, 16th and 17th I was left with under 75 yds to go on all of them. Unfortunately it only has the 1 par 5 but hey, you'll live.
Ok so it's tight, quirky, very short, hilly and I suppose a little bit dangerous due to the proximity of tee boxes and greens on some holes. But with all that said, it's really good fun, has bags of character and can be great value for money. And to finish the round the 18th has a balcony bar overlooking it that is so close you to the green you can actually to see the fear in the putting players eyes as they know 20 or 30 pairs of eyes are watching. If you putt well, get ready for the plaudits. If you hit a stinker get ready for the banter coming from the balcony.
Round 76 Handicap 3.3
