Brampton Heath Golf Centre is set on undulating heathland sitting on very free draining soil. This allows play all year round, always with golf trolleys and never on tee mats. The greens play very true at all times and the fairways are arguably considered the best in the County.
There is an 18-hole main course and a 9-hole short course.
The main course is constantly improved every season through the construction of new tees, hazards such as ditches and mounds, and an extensive tree planting programme. The course provides a fair test for players of all abilities.
Brampton Heath has hosted both the Boys and Seniors County Championships, in 2002 hosted the N.G.U. Hollingsworth Final – the County’s premier team event. In 2010 hosted the NGU Junior Inter Club competition along with two Northamptonshire PGA PRO-AM events.
The short course is ideal for new players to gain confidence before tackling an 18 hole course and also for experienced golfers to work on their short game.
Wellingborough golf course is considered a very fine par 72 course of over 6,700 yards set in quiet parkland. This is considered a testing course for golfers of all abilities. There are three holes in particular with their own challenges. The fourth hole is a 166-yard par three, which is played over water. The eighth is a short dogleg, which needs a tee shot over or around the trees to the left of the fairway to give the best line into the green; and the 18th, another short par four but with a bunker on the right.
Non-members are welcome and must pay their green fees before commencing play.
