Farthingstone Golf Course & Hotel, Northamptonshire

Farthingstone is enfolded between two woods, at he head of a picturesque valley, deep in the beautiful and gently rolling Northamptonshire countryside.

opened in August 1973, Farthingstone was developed from rough pasture surrounding Manor Farm. This challenging Championship course now extends 6299 yards from the competition tees.

Its eclectic conception and development have ensured that its character is not that of the generic, market research positioned facility that many new courses have become. Instead , Farthingstone is a unique, unusually located, and beautifully tranquil course.

As a consequence it is neither 'chimney pot' positioned, nor is it 'American styled'. the course has been designed utilising the natural form and features of the land, it is not a course suffering and artificial, false landscape, created by modern construction machinery. Farthingstone's design and its natural, organic development have ensured that the natural features and forms of the land have been retained and made use of, to test and challenge your golfing skills.

The course itself boasts pitching and putting greens, an extensive practice area, an indoor video teaching room, not to mention the large, well equipped Pro-shop. Farthingstone's on course facilities also boast a comfortable sixteen bedroom hotel, our charming and welcoming bar for that relaxing drink after your round, or alternatively you can choose from the considerable menu in the hotel restaurant.

Additional facilities which can be enjoyed by our guests and visitors are the snooker rooom and squash court, all of which are on the site.

The combined facilities of the golf course and hotel allow us to offer a full range of golfing packages for groups and societies, all at excellent rates. please enquire during your visit or alternatively contact us for full details of our prices.

All in all, Farthingstone is a place where both accomplished and less experienced golfers will relish the pleasure of a mature and satisfying course that abounds in challenging features. We hope you will have a memorable and enjoyable golfing experience at Farthingstone and we will do our utmost to ensure that you will receive friendly, couteous service throughout your stay.
