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.

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

As I have promised to play the course again and this time I have paid my Greenfee. Well when I played in April last there's no comparison what amazing job they have done from the bunkers to the green's. Great job ???? well done it's all in all in great condition thanks.In the middle of a busy town a little tranquility.

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 ????

When we arrived the meet and greet was very good, but unfortunately from there on it went down hill.We only asked for bacon sandwiches and a coffee upstairs but they had a party the night before and no-one bothered of cleaning up,and then the golf course, bins overfilled and the greens absolutely shocking

Kingsthorpe Golf Course
Played for the first time and enjoyed it immensely. The course is tight and a number of holes run very close to each other, but I think that makes it much more fun. Greens were in good condition and the course look great considering the weather.Reviewer Rating

Brilliant!
Fantastic course, great greens all for £25 - a steal. Will be back. The old established layout is tight and the greens are small but great variety of holes. Didn't wait to play a single shop. Pro very friendly.(Round played: Sep 2021 - Score: 83 Handicap: 20.2)

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.
