Everyone is welcome at Thorpe Wood and Orton Meadows. The beautiful surroundings, challenging golf courses and informal atmosphere all combine to make you feel relaxed and welcome. They offer what you would expect from any private golf club but in a completely open style and with facilities at both sites. You will be surprised that we are so close to the centre of Peterborough.
Whilst they try to convey something of the quality of our golf facilities through the website, the only way to truly appreciate these special places is to visit. Enjoy the views of the beautiful golf courses at either The Granary or The Woodman, or come and browse around the American Golf Store. Whether you want to play golf, learn golf or as yet have no interest in golf at all, they are sure that once you know they are there, you’ll keep going back for more.
Thorpe Wood
Designed by Peter Alliss and Dave Thomas, both renowned for their impressive golfing careers and golf course architecture, this gently undulating par-71 course measures 6,875 yards from the competition tees – establishing it as one of the longest in the area. Thorpe Wood is proud to be recognised as one of the leading pay and play courses in the country, and strives to maintain a high standard of greenkeeping throughout the year, meaning it’s rarely, if ever, shut. The challenging, yet rewarding course is only part of the experience. Recent developments have seen a brand new Driving Range open that offers the opportunity to learn and practice golf, featuring a 23-bay range complete with a state-of-the-art Custom Fit Centre (operated by American Golf) and two dedicated teaching suites.

Orton Meadows
Opened in May 1982 with 12 holes, Orton Meadows was eventually extended to a full 18-hole course in April 1987. Designed by Dennis and Roger Fitton, the then current golf professionals at both courses, it measures 5,613 yards with a par 67. It may be shorter than its big brother at Thorpe Wood but don’t be fooled; its well-placed bunkers and punishing water hazards still make it a game for golfers of all skills and abilities. The wonderfully picturesque surroundings and beautiful natural scenery add to the personality of this course. A 12-hole pitch and putt course is an additional feature, attracting new players who want to learn about the game and established golf enthusiasts who want to sharpen their short game.
