Staverton Park Golf Club offers a mature 18-hole championship-standard parkland course in the Northamptonshire countryside near Daventry. With an on-site hotel, driving range, golf academy and clubhouse, it is particularly well suited to societies and groups looking for a straightforward stay-and-play golf break in a central UK location.

The par-71 course measures 6,566 yards from the back tees, with alternative tees reducing the length to 6,204 or 5,469 yards. Undulating fairways, overhanging mature trees, scenic lakes and lengthy bunkers provide the main challenge, rewarding golfers who think carefully about positioning rather than simply relying on distance.

One of the standout holes is the par-five 11th, measuring 552 yards from the back tees. It is a genuine risk-and-reward hole where confident players can attack for a birdie or even create an eagle opportunity, but poor positioning can quickly turn an aggressive decision into a dropped shot. The closing stretch continues to test accuracy, with water, bunkering and changing elevations keeping the round interesting right through to the 18th.

Practice facilities are a real strength. Golfers have access to a 14-bay driving range, putting area and chipping area, while two PGA Professionals provide coaching through the golf academy. The on-site golf shop is open seven days a week during the main season, with equipment hire including buggies and pull trolleys.

After the round, the Golf Bar & Patio acts as the 19th hole, with views across the course, food, drinks and live sport. The adjoining Staverton Park Hotel means accommodation, dining and leisure facilities are all within walking distance, while golf-break packages range from single rounds to unlimited-golf stays.

We recommend Staverton Park Golf Club for mixed-handicap groups and societies who want a traditional parkland challenge with plenty of facilities on site. Its central location and easy motorway access also make it a practical meeting point for golfers travelling from different parts of the country.
