About this course

Manor Kingstone occupies gently rolling farmland on the outskirts of Uttoxeter in Staffordshire, a market town known more for its racecourse than its golf. The course was designed by A. Foulds, a name associated with several modest parkland layouts across the Midlands during the mid-to-late twentieth century. The routing makes use of the natural undulations of the Staffordshire countryside, with fairways bordered by mature hedgerows and scattered trees typical of English agricultural land converted to golf use. The layout reflects the practical design approach common to members' clubs of its era, offering a straightforward test without severe hazards or dramatic elevation changes. Water features are limited, and bunkering tends to guard greens rather than dominate driving zones. The course serves a local membership and visitors seeking accessible golf in a rural setting between the larger population centers of Stoke-on-Trent and Derby. Manor Kingstone provides a representative example of regional English parkland golf, where the emphasis falls on playability and maintenance within the constraints of a smaller club budget. The surrounding countryside retains its agricultural character, and the course integrates into this landscape without extensive earthmoving or artificial shaping. It remains a community amenity rather than a destination layout, offering steady if unspectacular golf in the Staffordshire countryside.

Getting there

The journey to Manor Golf Club begins at either Birmingham Airport (BHM), roughly forty-five minutes south, or East Midlands Airport (EMA), a similar distance to the north - both gateways into England's industrial heartland that give way swiftly to the gentler Staffordshire countryside. From either hub, the drive winds through the rolling borderlands between the Midlands and Peak District, trading motorway efficiency for quieter A-roads that thread past market towns and stone-built villages, the landscape gradually softening into the pastoral estates that define this corner of the English Midlands. The final approach to Manor Golf Club near Uttoxeter unfolds along narrow country lanes, where hedgerows and open parkland announce arrival at a club steeped in understated English tradition - a setting where the journey itself becomes part of the ritual of play.
