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

Massive thank you to all the staff at my son and his new wife’s wedding reception on Saturday !! Special thanks to Richard , catering manager for the lovely food ! We had a fantastic day and all the staffs hard work made it perfect ! Many thanks once again !

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

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

Very well run and people there very friendly and helpful.

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

Great little 9 hole course could do with some bells on the first tee to allow people to drive without worrying

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.

Excellent 9 hole course. Very friendly club and good home-cooked food. The par 4 holes are relatively short, but all have their interesting features. Out-of-bounds is a factor on 6 of the 9 holes so you need to hit the ball pretty straight.

Warm welcome, a nice cup of coffee in the clubhouse and the course played well with good greens. Will definitely return to play again.

This is a very friendly family run 9 hole course which is beautifully maintained. There are thriving ladies, seniors and men's sections. The catering facilities are excellent with lovely homemade cakes and sausage rolls available as well as breakfasts, filled rolls and sandwiches. There is also a well stocked pro shop catering for men and women.

Had an awesome day at Kirton Holme golf club on Saturday at the invitational, played in great company; the members are so friendly and welcoming. The course is maintained to a very high standard, and Kelly and her staff are so friendly and provide fantastic food and great atmosphere. Will be back very soon

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.

Well worth a visit. Lovely setting that includes an outdoor driving range and a fair size putting green. The course is quite tough so put your thinking cap on. The food was very good. Be careful when you go in off the road as it is quite tight.

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.

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.

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.

We stayed for a couple of nights during half term. Being a long way from a major road the hotel was extremely quiet; we had a terrific night's sleep in a huge comfy bed. As there is hardly any light pollution the stars look fantastic over the dark golf course at night, which also provides a nice view from the rooms and restaurant. The bar and restaurant were great for both breakfasts and dinners. The food was delicious and the portions large, with local ales on draught too! A dart board and pool table kept my 10 year old entertained until bedtime! The room was large, clean and very comfortable, with a nice bathroom with a bath. The staff were super efficient and friendly. For value for money I'd rate this hotel very highly and would definitely come back.

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.

Was a great 4 nights there, didn’t realise that breakfast was included until the last day , only thing I can have a little winge about was the Freeview tv signal wasn’t that great which surprised us actually because it is in one of the highest places in Gainsborough, other than that everything was excellent and will 100% definitely be going back there again sometime

Only went there for a society game of golf, didn't stay there. The service when we got there, we were treated to Coffee and biscuits which were okay. We played the lakes course which I think is harder than the Thonock course, really enjoyed the day plus the weather was good for us.

We had a great time at Thonock Park, thanks to the friendly attentive staff. The hotel rooms were modern, well maintained, clean and tidy. The two golf courses were in good condition, well maintained.A great location for a golf holiday.

Quite simply one of the nicest rooms I have ever stayed in (stayed in Rm 5). Very comfy beds and very clean. Price was very reasonable and the breakfast was freshly made. Very nice indeed and lovely surroundings (as its a Golf Course). Not sure of the description being a B&B. Its more like a 4 star hotel to be honest. Will look forward to staying again.

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 .

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!!!

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.

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

Lovely course,some challenging holes,nice wide fairways, greens,very good for time of year,warm,friendly staff,definitely would play again.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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]

Staying with my lifetime best friends and just treated them to Sunday lunch at the carvery. They live 7mins away and have never been before. Have to say it was just 5 star in every way, hospitality, food, wine and hospitality again. Thanks folks, Sue and Simon will be back. For me 6,600 miles is a bit of a treck for lunch.

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.

They ran a 50 person celebration for us, with a fantastic buffet from Sarah, and great bar service from Claire. All the guests hugely impressed with every aspect.

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. 😎

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
