The main golf season in Northamptonshire typically runs from spring through to autumn, with the best playing conditions usually found between April and October. Summer is ideal for longer days and warmer weather, while spring and early autumn can offer great value, quieter courses and pleasant conditions for a UK golf getaway.

Here are some top tips to consider when booking a golf holiday:

• Pack for changeable British weather - even in the warmer months, conditions can change quickly, so bring waterproofs, layers and an extra glove to stay comfortable on the course.
• Book tee times early - popular golf resorts and weekend slots can fill up quickly, especially for groups and society trips, so it is always worth planning ahead.
• Consider stay & play packages - venues such as Whittlebury Park, Staverton Park Hotel & Golf Club and Hellidon Lakes Golf & Spa Hotel are ideal for golfers who want accommodation, dining and golf in one easy location.
• Think about your evening plans - if your group wants restaurants, bars and nightlife after golf, a hotel base near Northampton can be a strong choice. If you prefer a quieter countryside break, a resort-style venue may be better suited.
