Charles Allison was the designer who lent his Midas touch to the layout of the course at Kingsthorpe Golf Club, located only two miles north of Northampton town centre. It has stood there since it first thrust open its doors to those fond of a round or two away back in 1908, and so it is due to celebrate its centenary in a few short years. Today, it still maintains a proud and formidable reputation for the quality of the course, the players it has developed and the friendly welcome it extends to all who visit there.

It is by no means the longest course in the region, spanning 5918 yards from the first tee to the eighteenth pin, but is still a fine test.
