Kings Course

at The Warwickshire Golf & Country Club

Location: Leek Wootton, Warwickshire | Style: American-style parkland | Designer: Karl Litten | Founded: 1994

Set within 465 acres of Warwickshire countryside, the Kings Course at The Warwickshire Golf & Country Club is a scenic, resort-style layout near Warwick, Leamington Spa and Kenilworth. One of the club’s two 18-hole championship courses, it offers a contrasting challenge to the Earls Course, combining generous fairways and large greens with enough water, bunkering and undulation to keep golfers fully engaged.

Designed in an American parkland style, the Kings Course stretches to 6,864 yards from the white tees and plays to a par of 72. Its wide landing areas create a welcoming feel from the tee, but the course’s large lakes, rolling terrain and strategically protected greens ensure that strong scoring still requires precision and smart course management. For golf breaks in Warwickshire, it is a polished and playable layout with excellent resort facilities close at hand.

Course highlights

• American-style parkland design – Wide fairways and expansive greens give the Kings Course a generous, modern resort feel.
• Water in play – Large lakes and water hazards add visual drama and strategic pressure throughout the round.
• Championship resort setting – The course forms part of The Warwickshire’s 465-acre golf, hotel, health and country club estate.
• Two-course appeal – Alongside the Earls Course, the Kings Course helps make The Warwickshire a strong 36-hole golf break destination.
• Playable but testing – Forgiving landing areas make it enjoyable for a range of handicaps, while undulating terrain and guarded greens provide a serious challenge.

Signature Holes

The Kings Course is defined less by one single dramatic hole and more by its recurring blend of water, width and strategic green complexes. Its most memorable moments come when the lakes frame the approach shots, asking golfers to choose between a safe line and a more ambitious route into large, undulating greens.

This risk-reward character is central to the course’s appeal, especially for golfers who enjoy a modern resort layout where bold play can be rewarded but poor execution is quickly punished.

Clubhouse & amenities

The Warwickshire Golf & Country Club is well equipped for golf breaks, society days and leisure stays, with two 18-hole championship courses, the shorter Castle Course, a Toptracer driving range and extensive practice facilities. Golfers can warm up on the driving range, work on the short game around the putting and chipping areas, or take advantage of tuition from the club’s professional team.

Beyond the golf, the resort offers a hotel, health club, gym, swimming pool, spa facilities, dining areas and countryside views, giving it broad appeal for golfers travelling with non-playing partners or groups looking to combine golf with relaxation.

Post Round

After a round on the Kings Course, golfers can unwind in the clubhouse or make use of the wider resort facilities. The Warwickshire offers relaxed food and drink options, spa and wellness facilities, and a hotel on site, making it easy to extend the day into a stay-and-play golf break.

Nearby activities

The Warwickshire is well placed for exploring some of the region’s best-known towns and attractions. Warwick, Leamington Spa and Kenilworth are all nearby, while Stratford-upon-Avon is also within reach for visitors looking to add culture, history or sightseeing to a golf holiday in the Midlands.

Did You Know?

The Kings Course is often described as more forgiving from the tee than the Earls Course, thanks to its broader fairways and large greens. However, the abundance of lakes, strategic bunkering and undulating terrain means it remains a proper test, particularly when the wind is up or pins are tucked close to hazards.
