About Golf in Northampton

Northampton sits at the heart of England, a town of rolling countryside, stone-built villages, and a rich shoemaking heritage. Its golf punches well above its weight. Northamptonshire's gently undulating landscape produces attractive parkland courses, and the county can claim a genuine championship pedigree with venues that have hosted top-level professional events.

Why Gift Golf Lessons in Northampton?

Northamptonshire County Golf Club is the flagship venue in the area - a course of real championship calibre that has hosted two British Masters. Set in beautiful Northamptonshire parkland, it provides a demanding but fair test that has attracted some of the finest professional golfers in the world. For a golf experience day with genuine prestige, it is hard to beat.

Collingtree Park offers a different style entirely. Opened in 1990 as Johnny Miller's first signature course in the British Isles, this 6,776-yard par 72 layout has water on no fewer than 10 holes, including a dramatic island green on the 18th. It is a former European Tour venue and has itself hosted the British Masters. Northampton Golf Club at Harlestone, designed by Donald Steel in 1990, is a tough and picturesque layout that has required only slight changes over the decades, a testament to the quality of its design. Kingsthorpe Golf Club, on the outskirts of the town, is a real gem of imaginative design on just 73 acres - proof that great golf does not always require vast acreage.
