I was disappointed by the number of members that suddenly appear at any hole out of the blue at use it as a practice range or for putting practise.
I will not be joining or returning.

Love it here, pro shop staff (Paul & Stuart) are very professional and always very helpful. Highly recommend any golfer visit, it may be short in yardage but it's got teeth!! 🏌️‍♂️⛳👍

I became a member at Kingsthorpe after 6 months at delapre and one trial month at Collingtree. Kingsthorpe is by far a better golf club. The members and staff are incredibly welcoming. The course is always in perfect conditions, the greens are (in my view) the best around and the course itself is cleverly designed. It is also value for money both as a visitor and a member. Highly recommend.

I liked it. Tough little course, greens superb. The compact nature of the course means there are a few areas where you need to mind other players with your play.
