Kington Golf Club

Try it out. I was very impressed by the unusual challenge presented by this course . Undulating fairways with unusual rolls , ball often above/ below your feet in stance ,green -side grass hazards all add to the day.

Would want to avoid a wet or windy day ,it is difficult enough , but found the layout interesting and very different.

Clubhouse and kitchen superb ,we had a warm welcome .

Always play full 18 ...9th green is miles from car park.

Views around the turn are special .

At this altitude putting greens can look uneven in colour but are well watered,receptive and roll true.

Plan to return soon.

Exceeded expectations. Quirky but that added to its charm. Elevated greens really tested your short game. You had better check the terrain around the greens before you putt as what may look uphill isn’t. Will definitely return as course knowledge will make the next round even more enjoyable. Well done to its members, staff and fairway “mowing “ crew — the sheep!

Views were wonderful but the elevated position of the course left you more exposed to the wet and windy weather conditions. We made use of some of the shelters.

A good test of golf, the sloping fairways could leave your ball in the bracken. the grassy bunkers provided a challenge though less daunting than sand filled ones.

Overall a good course for holiday recreation. Superb views and hospitality.

The expansive views were amazing. Sheep share the course. Fast fairways and small greens. Extreme bounces in some areas so control of the golf ball is essential. Rough is penal.

An absolute gem of a course. This is a course that will test all elements of your game and changes throughout the year as the bracken is brutal. Greens always in excellent condition with a fair amount of skill needed but not as much as your chipping does…lob wedge essentially. All finished off with the signature 18th..drivable Par 4 if you hit it way, way left and wait and pray to see if it offers you an eagle finish…if not you can end up in the valley of doom! Afterwards enjoy a decent pint on the balcony and watch others determine their fate…just brilliant.

The views around the course were amazing. The course itself is about keeping in play and out of the fern the define the holes. The weather was wet and windy and i would love to come back and play again on a better day and having a better idea of when to go on the blind hole. Great fun to play and the food and drink was great to.

Definitely a course to make sure you

Play at least once - hot summer day so relatively easy with no wind. This has been on my bucket list for awhile and certainly was a really great experience. The views are absolutely spectacular which probably makes the course feel a bit better than it actually is but nevertheless really enjoyed it. I would put it up with the likes of Cleeve Hill and Painswick as a great old fashioned course

Amazing course! Awesome views! Some really challenging holes. Don't be misled by the lack of sand bunkers - you will need a lob wedge to chip out of, and over, the many green side grass bunkers! Can't wait to go back there.

Don’t get my wrong, beautiful views. But, this is a golf club and I feel it’s overrated. Take away the novelty of it being the highest course in the U.K., and what you have got is a fairly poorly designed course, with a healthy load of sheep dung all over it and howling winds. At times it feels you’re playing in a field with a few greens scattered around. In fairness the greens are in good condition.

Third time playing in three years. Amazing each time. So unusual and original. And a great staff.,

I've paid lots of money to play courses around the world but I think Kington is my number 1 favourite now. Outstanding views, top notch greens and great clubhouse and staff. Value for money unreal. Go and play it

Played this fabulous course last week. Highest course in England at almost 1300 ft. Challenging course made even tighter with the windy conditions. Greens were fast and true - supposedly like table tops with some sun on them! Every course needs its protection - don't be put off by the Par 70 sub 6,000 yard layout. Loved it and will be back for sure

This is one of the most unique, brilliant golf courses we have played. A true test of every part of you game. Expect to get away with the odd bad shot and be punished for a near perfect shot as the links style slopes and bumps dish out their warped sense of justice. No hole more so than the short par 4 18th where you unleash your Sunday best way left of the green towards the club shop and with the patrons in the clubhouse watching, your ball makes its way down towards the green. Those who have been blessed will be rewarded with a rare eagle putt where others have treacherous chips that may return to them with interest. Could not recommend this bracken infested visual odyssey any more…play well or it will be a good walk spoilt!

2 of us on hot deal offer 11.30 on Sunday. friendly Pro greeted us on checking in . Was very windy but that's to be expected on highest course in England , the sun came out and we could enjoy the fantastic scenery as well as the course. Course was in great condition, no waiting on tees at all , clubhouse for a beer after another friendly welcome from barman.

Highly recommend.

I’ve played here a couple of times and I keep coming back: why? It’s an amazing course and great value for money. To play it in mid January in very good condition when courses near where I live are muddy or closed is a privilege. It’s well worth the drive up and if I lived closer I would take up a membership.

If you haven’t played Kington, do yourself a favour and play it. I’ll be back!
