Kettering Golf Club

It was due to the initiative and enthusiasm of Dr. John Allison that golf was introduced into Kettering and a golf club formed in 1891.

Dr. John Allison arrived in Kettering in 1889 from Coldstream in Berwickshire. He qualified in Edinburgh, and then worked as a house surgeon at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. In Kettering he became the senior practitioner during a career which lasted until he retired in 1930.

He was the first captain of the club and it was he who talked to Tom Morris of St. Andrews to layout the original nine-hole course, now an 18 hole course. In the early days Dr. Allison would be out in the mornings mowing the greens and with a tobacco tin he would true up the holes.

  • Extremely comfortable

    This is the second time we have stayed here, we enjoyed it so much we had to come back again! Breakfast is very nice, a good choice of food. The pub next door is very good for drinks and meals. Our room was so lovely and extremely comfortable.

  • Amazing value for money

    So pleased we booked into Church Farm lodge, as we were attending a concert nearby. The room was lovely. Converted barn, high ceilings and exposed beams, lovely decor. Very comfortable bed, we slept soundly. Breakfast was really good. Buffet style, so many choices, excellent quality too. I will definitely book here again when we're next in the area.

  • Never hesitate to stay

    We stayed a few years ago and were delighted. Just had another four night stay and nothing has changed - it's still perfect. Friendly helpful staff, spotlessly clean premises, all features exactly as advertised. I would never hesitate to stay there when in the area.

  • A gem of a place

    We’ve been using Church Farm Lodge as a base for fly fishing throughout Warwickshire, Northampton and Rutland over the last 5 years. We have been warmly welcomed and thoroughly looked after. Rooms are immaculately clean and extremely comfortable. Breakfast varies from fresh fruit, Continental to Full English. All really tasty. Already booked up for next year.

  • Exceeds all expectations

    The rooms are fantastic, staff are wonderful. Modern but classic country style. Owners are friendly, polite, discreet and welcoming. Breakfast is epic. Well done Church Farm Lodge.

  • Ideal for Kelmarsh Hall

    My daughter recently got married at Kelmarsh Hall and we booked most of the rooms at Church Farm for the wedding party. What a fabulous B&B! I would highly recommend a stay here, the rooms are all tastefully decorated and the breakfast was delicious! Many thanks to you all at Church Farm for looking after us so well!

  • Really friendly and helpful

    We booked The Appledon Suite and it was lovely, spacious room great bathroom and really clean. Staff were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was lovely and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend the pub next door The Tollemache Arms for a meal as was superb.

  • Really lovely place to stay

    The room was spacious and spotlessly clean. The staff were very friendly and attentive.

  • What a friendly reception!

    We had a friendly reception, were shown to our room, which was very spacious and advised of time for breakfast. We were booked on a gin tour at the Warner Edwards Distillery which is a 5-minute walk so Church Farm was ideal as we could enjoy the evening.
