I love this place, it's not a world beater and nor does it attempt to be.

However in an area of the country devoid of quality golf, NCGC stands tall. Going south It’s Woburn before you hit another great course(s) and north it’s Hollingwell.A traditional members club. It’s marketed as a heathland, and possibly it was soon after construction, however years of growth have ma...

A championship woodland course, Northants County's strength can be found in the variety of holes.

A regional open qualifying venue with a demanding par of 70, this course requires your A-game to play to your handicap. The opening par 4 sets the tone, around 450 yards from the competition tees, meaning there is no scuffing it into play with a hybrid unless you are ready to hit another into the gr...

A Quiet Classic with Character and Class

Tucked neatly to the north of Northampton, Northamptonshire County Golf Club—fondly known as Northants—is one of those courses that doesn’t shout, but instead whispers with the assurance of pedigree, polish, and a deep-rooted golfing heritage.

Established in 1909, the course was laid out by none other than Harry Colt, one of the founding fathers of strategic golf design. Subsequent refinements came in 1947, courtesy of James Braid, who reworked the bunkering and repositioned the 18th hole to take advantage of the picturesque approach towa...

Not really heathland, but lovely, and distinctly underrated for all that.

There is wonderful variation here, in unexpectedly pretty country very different from urban Northampton. Particular stars include the very clever downhill 4th, with real risk reward on offer, given the sloping and tucked away green, with real trouble behind, the pretty as a picture downhill 9th, and...

A solid test of golf.

Firstly it is worth stating that for my visit the 15th was out of play and the 9th was on a temp green due to rainfall, I did however have the pleasure of playing two of the three extra holes which now provide a nine hole loop returning to the clubhouse, for those wishing to play 9 or 27 holes.Needl...

you move move about a fair bit with 4 in one section then another 5 then 5 over the railway line then back again, the railway is a main line and very busy and noisy, greens good and fairways a bit scabby due to dryness, only two short par 4,s rest were long, all the par threes were good and memorabl...

A Harry Colt design that is not widely recognised!

The club documentation describes the course as a traditional heathland. in its current presentation, visitors may be perplexed at that. As there is more than a hint of parkland appearance to many of the holes. The Church Brampton site offers undulating firm turf, gorse, heather and fine pine woods, ...

I recently had the pleasure of playing a round at Northamptonshire County Golf Club, and I must say, it was an experience to remember.

Despite encountering wet conditions towards the end of the round, I was thoroughly impressed by how well the course had managed the heavy rainfall from the previous night. It's a testament to the dedication of the groundskeeping team and the quality of the course's drainage system.One of the things ...

What a nice course with some pretty holes and all in good condition.

The clubhouse is warm and welcoming and so are the people. The course looks inviting and you set off from the first to a long par four (I though it was a par 5 until I looked at the card). The first few holes are flat, after which the elevation changes kick-in; the holes going downhill look very pic...

Played Northamptonshire County GC yesterday and probably expected more than it ultimately delivered.

Don't get me wrong, it's a very good track but my initial let down was the visuals. The club website states it's a heathland track. I'd strongly disagree. It's parkland with touches of heathland, a claim alot of parkland courses can claim, with touches of gorse in bloom, and birch and pine, but not ...
