The Pytchley Golf Lodge opened this superb academy nine 9 golf course in 2000, and has now established itself as one of the finest pay and play courses in Northamptonshire. Designed by Roger Griffiths Associates of Rugby, the course will offer a challenge to both the experienced and novice golfers alike.
The course is a par 34 (for nine holes) and consists of one par 5, five par 4’s and three par 3’s, with a total distance of 2,574 yards. All greens are set to the high USGA standard to offer all year round playability.
Constant improvements are being undertaken. During the last winter extensive tree planting has taken place, and it is intended that more intensive planting will continue this autumn. The introduction of a new competition tee is now in play which will alternate between holes 3 and 9.
Course marshals are present to ensure fluid play, and to observe course etiquette, to benefit all players.
Dress code is considered relaxed, although a dress standard is observed.
Advanced 7 day booking is available to all.
