On behalf of the Ladies Section at Staverton Park Golf Club, may I extend a warm welcome to you.
Whether you are browsing to see if you’d like to become a member, or you are simply deciding whether to come and play at our wonderful course situated in the Northamptonshire countryside, I want you to know that we welcome women of all ages and golfing ability.
We have a thriving Ladies Section. The main competition day is on a Wednesday, but we have alternate competition days to ensure our working ladies and those who prefer to play at the weekend feel included. We also have a long standing ‘roll-up’ of ladies on a Monday morning, where fun golf (with some very inventive formats!), is followed by a coffee and a catch up with fellow members.
Ladies get together for food and drink after play and this is especially enjoyed in the summer, on the wide terrace that stretches across the back of the Clubhouse, overlooking the driving range and the 10th tee.
For those those who enjoy more competitive golf, we have Ladies Teams. We are very proud to be 3 times winners of the Northamptonshire Golf Ltd (NGL) Cecil Leitch Trophy (2012, 2021 & 2022), for singles match play, where our ladies play against other Northamptonshire County clubs. In 2023, we have entered the NGL Women’s League for the first time, where we again play other Northamptonshire County clubs, but this time in a stroke play competition. We also have several ‘friendly’ fixtures with clubs from the surrounding areas.
Throughout the year, we hold Prize Presentations, golf and supper events and there are numerous social occasions where we encourage everyone to get involved. Mixed golf is a popular feature, particularly on Bank Holidays, drawing on members of our Men’s and Senior’s section.
We also have two very popular Ladies’ Open events – historically held in June and November. Application forms can be downloaded from www.golfempire.co.uk where the entry criteria can be viewed. We would love to see you taking part.
If you’re an absolute beginner, or you can play but need a refresher lesson or two, you can obtain expert tuition from our Professional and his team. We have excellent practice facilities.
