Priors Hall Golf Club

Priors Hall Golf Club lies a few miles from Corby, in the part of Northamptonshire where the county borders both Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire. Corby grew rapidly in the twentieth century around its steelworks and still carries a strong Scottish heritage from the workers who moved south to the town, but the countryside immediately around it is quieter and more typical of the East Midlands: rolling arable land, small stone villages and the remnants of Rockingham Forest, once a royal hunting ground, to the north. The club runs a full programme of competitive golf through the season, with additional events held over the winter months, and describes its membership as a sociable, welcoming one rather than a purely formal club. Its position near the NN17 postcode places it within reach of Kettering, Stamford and the Rutland border, an area where Northamptonshire's ironstone villages give way to flatter fen-edge country further east.
