The Best Golf Courses in Ancaster, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom (2025)

We had our wedding reception at the club on 7/9/2024, as it was taken over a couple of months before I was nervous but the new owners and clubhouse staff couldn’t have done more to reassure us and helped make our day perfect. Lovely staff food was great and the venue looked amazing plenty of room for disco and Photo Booth, and most importantly great areas for photos. Thank you guys for everything

First visit in ten years course was in good condition apart from a couple of greens that had had some work rest were fairly quick for the time of year.We had a breakfast butty and coffee before playing which was pretty good if not a bit on the expensive side.£3.50 for a coffee 😵‍💫

Great course and club house friendly staff and members food in the clubhouse was excellent very enjoyable day.

Wonderful course with many challenges. Club house is very modern with a variety of drinks and meals. Very friendly and accommodating to all ages. Course was in immaculate condition and a credit to the Green keepers. One of the nicest clubs I’ve played at. Will definitely be looking to play again soon.

Beautiful 18 hole course, staff really friendly, would highly recommend a visit to see for yourself 5*

Been a member here now for 5 years. This is the most friendly club I have ever played at. The course is excellent and a good challenge. I have not played many courses that have better greens. The restaurant has a great chef in Janet and she is supported brilliantly by the catering and bar staff. We also have a great memorial to the crew of a WW2 Halifax Bomber that crashed locally. Worth a visit? Definitely.

Played in the Open here on 4th September 24. I enjoyed the day. A warm welcome, great game of golf and delicious food. A special shout out to the ladies who found the time to provide the home baked treats and two very smart waiters at the halfway house . Lovely! Bev@Carholme

Beautiful course set in the Lincolnshire countryside. The whole team is incredibly welcoming and there to help out with any questions. The junior section is great with weekly lessons, summer camp days, and dates out on the course. The pro shop is equipped with a great range of products. The newly refurbished club house is spacious and light. Offering a range of beverages and food. I'd highly recommend booking in a round of golf or joining as a member.

Pleasant enough course with good facilities and helpful staff. Only downside was that greens were being treated (which is necessary, of course). I really think that guests should be informed if a course has any special conditions when making their booking - if you're going to charge £40 for a round, you want to be providing a good experience.

After what must have been a difficult winter for every golf club in the Country, to see Blankney in such great condition was a joy and a testament to the hard work that must have gone into getting this course back into A+ Condition. Possibly the most undulating and deceptively tricky layouts in Lincolnshire, Blankney Golf course will test every element of your game, but will also reward you when playing well. The opening 4 holes are a very clear insight into how the round will be played: An uphill dog leg par 4 to begin, a risk and reward par 4, followed by a Par 5 that will challenge any golfer to make par, followed by another risk and reward par 4 - these 4 set the tone for the round and can make or break a round early in the day! Other highlights include the daunting tee shot on the 6th, the deceptive par 3 13th and the closing hole par 5 that can have you thinking of birdie or wondering if 8 is a good score! For £30 per person, in June, in late morning, combined with a beautiful setting, clubhouse and lovely staff, Blankney is a must visit golf course.

Enjoyed the course. Great condition and good test. Club house nice too. Range and practice areas good. Charity golf day 5 1/2 round want ideal though.

Very well run and people there very friendly and helpful.

What a fantastic course. I've played a few times now and always look forward to going again. Very well maintained and the course can be as challenging as you want it to be. Lots of options of how to play each hole, play it safe or go for that extra 20 yards! Set in wonderful surroundings and if you choose to take a break half way round you can always stop for a cuppa (beer also available) and a slice of cake. Only £1 for 20 balls to get you warmed up on the range. Very reasonable green fees for the standard of course. Highly recommended this course, you won't be disappointed.

Tricky little course and very well maintained. Really worth trying it.

Lovely people and lovely 9 hole course. The practice facilities are superb. The course is challenging with true, fast greens. The dining room is a treasure. A great testament to Tim, Ben and their family.

We attended a function here and stayed the night. The lady on reception was lovely and got us checked in quickly. The room was large, nice and clean, with all the expected facilities excepted. The function room was a good size and had the bar in the room, I like this as it keeps people together instead of everyone spreading out all over the place. The food was good and served at a good pace, getting all the guests fed quickly. Last orders at the bar was 11:45, which was a little early, and there was no guest bar for an after-hours drink. Breakfast was buffet style, items were being topped up all the time, which meant some item ran out for a short period, but at least they were cooked fresh, breakfast was really good. Staff couldn't do enough for you.

We went to the new years eve party and stayed the night. Everything was spot on. We couldn't believe it was only a 3 star hotel. The staff were all happy and helpful ,even though they were working on New Years eve. The dinner dance was one of the best we've been to. The meal was fantastic ,and the entertainment by Barreo Benidorm was so much fun. His talents were amazing. A real entertainer and fantastic singer.

Arrived early Friday morning, had a small breakfast. Played Friday pm Saturday Sunday am. To very nice evening meals ( white bait and scampi not up to standard not that I had it. General view of most who chose it) breakfast OK good choice cereal fruit and pastries. Plenty tea or coffee. 2 course both challenging in different ways. Staff couldn't have been friendlier or helpfully. Rooms perfect for purpose. 🥰💞 thanks to all of you guys at Greetham.

2 great courses one each day, in excellent condition, rooms were spacious and view was the 10 th hole. Breakfast was superb all you can eat and a great verity was available, evening meal was outstanding and again a great choice of food. Staff could not do enough and all smiled, best two days golf this year and looking forward to going again.

One of the best courses I have played in ages. The course is stunning. From tee to green it is very well maintained. A real challenging course that requires you to be straight off the tee and accurate with your irons. Well placed bunkers and water hazards add to the challenge. Well worth playing!!!

Played the course today in great cindition, played a four ball with looking to book our society golf holiday next year course was in great condition ,only very small downfall when asking questions to guy in pro shop found him to be slightly rude !! But we all have off days i suppose didnt spoil the days golf , be making more enquieries for next years golf break .

Very good winter golf course. Back 9 was reduced to 8 par 3s and a par 5 to finish. Lots of rain in the weeks before I played but course was still decent. Greens were elite level for the time of year. Very firm and fast, they rolled exceptionally well. I bet they’re lightning fast in the summer. Would highly recommend.

Tremendous golf course, staff in pro were very helpful and welcoming. Course was in great condition and a tough test of golf. Back nine very tight but nice variety of holes throughout the course.

Room hired for 60th birthday party very friendly staff couldn't be more helpful. Always clearing down tables chatting to people good with the children. The food was amazing buffet meal with potato, salmon, quiche, giant onion rings and meats. 😎

Very well maintained and picturesque course. A bit tight for the average golfer so bring plenty of balls. Good value twilight golf.

Played a small society day on their March offer. Course in good shape considering the rain and greens were impeccable! We had great food before and after and every single staff member we encountered were friendly, helpful and accommodating! This place is a real gem that takes huge pride in itself and visible investment continually back into the course. See you again soon.

With grandson playing Lincoln Imps. Only saw 6 holes but very impressed. The clubhouse was real good with lovely staff and nice food will def come again as a normal player

May Pairs open 2024, with the poor winter this so far is the stand out course I've played. Lush and just about perfect. Greens superb. Lovely people to boot ⛳ credit to all involved it won't be 6 years before return visit

Our group had a lovely afternoon at Belton Park, Howard gave us a very friendly welcome, the course was in great condition for the time of year and we enjoyed playing surrounded by the herd of deer. The third hole is one of my favourites with a wonderful view of Belton House. Thank you.

Brilliant golf course. Would recommend it to anyone.

Three of us recently had the pleasure of playing at Belton Park, and what a fantastic day it was. There was a warm and friendly welcome in the Pro Shop followed by friendly and accommodating staff in the clubhouse. The course itself was in excellent condition, with challenging greens, which were fast with subtle borrows. The fairways were beautifully manicured, with natural habitat where appropriate. There is a great flow to the holes and slight changes in elevation, which add to the appeal of the course. I would highly recommend Belton Park to anyone looking for a top-notch golfing experience with excellent service.

My first half round in 15 years was at Pottergate and i thoroughly enjoyed it. A beautifully maintained course. The other golfers we bumped into were all pleasant too. And we saw a stoat. I’ll be back!

Amazing Stay at the Golfer’s Retreat - Customer Service was great. We went up as 4 couples for a Staycation and stayed 4 nights with spacious rooms each with their own en-suite. The host was very responsive and ensured we had an amazing stay. Sunday Carvery was great to finish off our stay and we were able to use the BBQ grill for a sunset BBQ as a group.

First time coming here for a Sunday lunch, if you haven’t had one yet I must say get yourself down here. It’s a hidden gem! Probably one of the best views for a meal in Lincolnshire. Staff are attentive and real joy to be around. Would highly recommend. [I would advise booking, as we were lucky to get a walk in table, and just generally very busy]

Stayed there for a week with some friends, friendliest staff, spacious rooms with extremely comfortable beds. Can't wait to visit again! Honourable mention to Richard who was so lovely to us all!

Great golf course with a wonderful pro shop along with a great bar Would definitely return.

Excellent venue. Must play golf course. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend. Will return soon.

Stunning golf course , A real fun course to play . Food and service 5 star . Every hole a stand out hole . A must play .greens excellent and difficult One of the best I've been to.

Really enjoyed 18 holes here on a windy afternoon. Plenty of room, great layout making good use of the contours of the ground/ elevation changes and true greens. Bunkers looked spot on. Fairways were suffering a little from lack of rain like everywhere but very playable and not rock hard. Good value too with a county card and forgiving. One of my best rounds ever
