Kingstand Golf & Country Club

Kingstand Golf & Country Club sits on the western outskirts of Leicester, in the Leicestershire countryside where the city's suburbs give way to farmland along the Leicester to Hinckley road corridor. The LE3 postcode covers this edge of the city, an area of gently rolling ground typical of central Leicestershire, with the Charnwood Forest hills visible to the north and the Soar Valley running through the city itself. Leicester's growth as an industrial and now multicultural city has pushed housing steadily outward, but pockets of open countryside remain along its western fringe, supporting a mix of golf clubs, farms and country parks. Kingstand operates as a country club alongside its golf course, a format found at several sites around Leicester's edge where leisure facilities have developed on former farmland close to the ring road network, a few miles from the city centre.
