I came across this little gem driving through Northampton, I asked if on the off chance if I could play as I didn't book, well : "what a nice greeting "The lovely lady in the Shop/Reception made my day and I have promised her to leave a great review, not only because she didn't charge me, because how they are doing a great job. As she has told me that the greens undergoing some maintenance work and they haven't been cut. Just wanted to say thank you Kingsthorpe for the great communication and you have a good set up there. I will be back as it is still early in the season and I loved the layout of the course. Well done ????

Greens like fairways
I thought the course (other than the greens) played well (Fairways, Bunkers and 2nd cut), most of the longer holes are quite forgiving if you miss far right. Some nice holes down tree lines but overall average views.As for the pace of play, I got held up by about 3 groups of senior ladies playing what looked like a very, very amateur competition - one group (a two ball) behind the comp (who were lovely) didn't offer to let one play through even though they knew they would only be playing 9, so the average waiting time was about 10-mins per tee box. To be fair, there are no warnings around comps on GolfNow so really it was bad timing which added to my slight frustration regarding the slow pace of play.
*The greens were as thick as most decent fairways I've played off, seriously needs attention*
The course itself isn't easy to get to, way more in the centre of town than I thought, very limited parking as well, so I don't know what they do on busy days. My Tee time was on a Wednesday around 11 am and the lot was filled to about 80% capacity.
I hate to sound like a real "Debbie downer" but I guess the point of a review is to guide others looking at playing these courses.
Furthermore, I proceeded up the wooden to the clubhouse for a pint and a bite to eat after my round; what looked like a decent breakfast on the menu turned out to be an egg, overcooked sausage, bacon, watery mushrooms, canned tomato and beans in a saucer and a slice of toast with margarine - there were water-filled ashtrays everywhere (outside seating) and I wasn't convinced the barman knew whether the kitchen was serving food or not.
I'm always happy to play new courses, but for a "deal" at £21 for a round, midweek via GolfNow, there are many other courses in much better shape overall. Sorry.

Course is in the middle of Northampton, and is quite tight, with some holes being very close to each other, in particular around the 13th hole - a 211 yard par 3, where the tee is right next to the 12th green, and is also right beside the 14th fairway, lots of shouts of "fore" at this point of the course! The tees all had long grass on them, apparently because they've had so much rain recently that the greenkeepers could not get out and cut them. This also meant that the greens were a little long, and consequently slower than they usually are. Managed to avoid the bunkers, which was just as well on the day, because a lot had rain in them, and there was even standing rainwater on a couple of greens. Some decent slopes on the greens to make them a challenge, and whilst a lot of holes are quite short, the greens made the course play harder than you would expect. Small car park, but there is an overflow car park which you get to by driving past the 1st tee and a hundred yards or so up the first hole, before going left, and parking behind a tall fence. When our society played is was quite quiet, but the forecast all week had been for rain, which must have put some people off. In the event, we had a couple of showers, one of which was heavy, and this added a little to the water in the bunkers, but meant that the greens were very receptive. Food was good, and was part of the package we booked, but I did hear one or two of our players saying the bar prices were quite high for the after game beers.

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)

Friendly welcome from both staff and members, played on a Sunday just before a competition started and was not made to feel unwelcome. Enjoyed the course but due to the wet summer the fairways were far too long and all 4 of us playing found the round frustrating as we were constantly searching for our balls. Very tight course but would definately recommend the course to others and would go back for a round if I was in th area. Always like a challenge but next time i hope the mowers have been out beforehand.

We play at KGC on a regular basis I must say it has improved, but for a parkland golf course you should be able to get the course ready for the season/autumn.Just not nice to loose so many balls.
Then as we are paying a full greenfee,couldn't get anything to eat or drink in your clubhouse, only opened at11 we played at 10:30 and when we came back guess what it was closing at 3pm.
Greenstaff and Pros where pleasant
