About Us

Orton Meadows Golf Course was opened initially in May 1982 as a 12 hole course and later extended to 18 holes in April 1987.

The course was designed by Dennis and Roger Fitton, the joint professionals at Orton Meadows and Thorpe Wood Golf Courses.

The first 12 holes were laid out on land available in the Ferry Meadows Country Park and the remaining land on flood plain reclaimed during gravel extraction.

The course is 5613 yards in length with a par 67.
A club was formed in 1987.
Golf societies are very welcome.

A 12 Hole Pitch and Putt Course is a very popular attraction at Orton Meadows appealing to players of all ages and all levels. It provides fun for those who do not play golf, is an introduction to the game for those who would like to become golfers and provides practice for the more established player.

Greenkeeping is under the personal supervision of David Walden who has won the accolade of Premier Greenkeeper of the year. David and his team can be seen around the course from first to last light making sure that the course, the fairways, the greens are all in the best possible condition.

During September and October some work may be in progress making it necessary to use the occasional temporary green. Our aim is to ensure that any such work causes the minimum inconvenience.
