One of my favourite courses. Didn't do it justice, although it is never easy to play this long a course a week after it was closed due to heavy rains. No run on the ball. The course has recovered well, and this was their Senior Open, so it was very well prepared for us. Tees, fairways, bunkers and greens in very good order, the greens were a little on the slow side compared to normal for Wellingborough, but running quite true if you had the pace right. Already booked for their Autumn Senior Open event, and can't wait to come back.

One of my favourite courses (it has a grade 1 listed Clubhouse, and the putting green is part of a very formal garden with statues). I try to play it a couple of times each year, and it never disappoints. Great layout with quite a few memorable holes. Tees, fairways, bunkers and greens all in first class order. Played in the Autumn Senior Open (they also have one in March), at a cost of £30 including bacon roll before, choice of 3 meals afterwards and (at least 9) prizes. I believe the standard price is £40.

One of my favourite courses. March is not usually the best time to assess any course, but the weather over the Winter has been kinder in 2014/15. Grade listed Clubhouse with 'formal' gardens (which include the putting green) behind the 1st tee and 18th green. The course is s good challenge with some long par 4's and tricky greens. Bunkers and fairways well maintained. Quite large greens, so you need to be able to judge the pace as well as the turn. Already booked to play in the Autumn Senior Open in October.

Picturesque well matured course, a combination of short position placement holes and longer more challenging ones. very well maintained. Worth a visit but just a little over priced.

Well worth a visit , large greens , fast. Front 9 fairly flatish , back 9 , a bit up and down . Lovely tree lined fairways , big trees so plenty of room to chip out onto the fairway. A very stately club house and friendly staff .

Well worth a visit
One of those outstanding courses that I always look forward to playing each year. A lot of money was spent on the course a few years ago, with some bunkers being filled in, new ones placed at more appropriate places, and loads of new turf around the greens. This is all now nicely bedded in, and the course looks the better for it.This was my second round here this year, in the second of their 2 senior opens, which are held in March and October. The greens were absolutely superb, with my playing partners likening them to carpets of velvet, so the greens were very quick. Bunkers were looking good, and certainly the ones I found had plenty of sand in them, were nicely raked and played well. One playing partner thought the sand was quite heavy, and therefore took a little more clubhead speed to get through.
I had a chat with the pro, who mentioned that we were playing just ahead of their Autumn maintenance, which would include deep hollow-tining and top-dressing, so if you're playing soon after mid-October, I'm sorry you missed the perfection we had for our outing. I should mention the ponds, which, after some very dry spells, were looking very low on water, which was probably the only dowside to what is normally a very pretty course with many mature trees and nice views.
Food was included in our price, but it's always been good here, although I don't believe they open as early as they used to, so it would be best to check if you want a meal before your game.
I'm already looking forward to playing again in March next year.
