The course itself is best described as a traditional "Parkland" course, built on around 73 acres, which must surely be amongst the smallest plots on which a proper 18 hole course has been built. The course yardage of only 5918yds from the back tees suggests a short course, but with a par of 69 and only one par 5, this yardage is a little misleading. The visitor tees are all within 10 yards of the competition tees barring two holes - the exception to the rule at many other courses. You really do get the opportunity to play Kingsthorpe as it was designed.
The course measures: 5,918 yards, par 69 for men and 5,355 yards, par 71 for ladies, and is a fair and enjoyable test for any level of golfer. The superb drainage makes play possible for 52 weeks of the year. Best described as undulating parkland, a little bit of countryside in the heart of the town. Buggy hire is available at a reasonable cost.

In 1912 land was acquired in the area then known as Gypsy Lane. The first 9 holes are believed to have opened just before the commencement of the World War, on the present sight (then on the outskirts of the town), with the full 18 open by early 1915. It was "laid out"...
