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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Played many many years ago. Then it was a superb place and a honour to play

Quaint little course, ideal for beginners like me.

Great course, very well kept high praise to the green keepers

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

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

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. 😎

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.

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

Joined my two boys in the summer of this year, 13 yr old and 20 yr old. What an amazing club. Everyone is so friendly and helpful from the members, to the club staff and the pro shop. The boys have played so much golf during the school holidays and at every opportunity at weekends or after school. Even dragged me out a few times. The course is great and their golf has improved immensely. Clubs have been bought, shoes have been bought and more gear on order, highly recommend purchasing from the team as they are competitive and reliable. Can’t really praise the whole set up enough. Thank you to all and Merry Christmas !!

Excellent golf course and facilities. As well as a very good pro shop and team of professionals. Who are all really helpful and offer a great service at a reasonable price.

Been going to turkey for over 40 years now...its awesome...well manicured ...quick slope greens and a more than accommodating staff and membership...keep up the good work....a credit to all x

Lovely course. Nice bar area . Nice staff. Well kept greens, particularly given the recent dry weather . The course is fairly flat, but that’s Lincolnshire for you. Quite a lot of bunkers and not so many water traps , but that probably was for the best , given my balls have an unusual attraction to water .

The home of England Golf. 2 fantastic courses, which are well maintained and beautifully designed. It's great that you can play 2 very different types of course, each with its own unique challenges and characteristics. Definitely with the visit.

Golf course - we played the Hotchkin course and it was in immaculate condition. It was challenging, in terms of length, bunkers (as some very extremely deep) as well as having penal rough! Clubhouse - lovely clubhouse but could l do with an uplift. It needs some TLC but with some investment, it could be absolutely superb. Driving range - it’s about five minutes walk from the shop but it is super. Lots of Toptracer bays and a great Short game area as well. Just what you’d expect from the home of England Golf.

Excellent course that I was lucky enough to qualify to play on for the England ladies medal final . Lovely experience. Very welcoming staff. Homely feel to it. Offers a wide range of facilities to practice on. A must try for all golfers. Very helpful greenside bunkers to keep you on your toes.

Wonderful day on Hotchkin’s. Challenging, perfectly kept course. Great staff. Lots of quality time spent in bunkers!

I have recently gotten into golf and the Lincoln Golf Centre has welcomed a newbie to the sport amazingly. The American Golf store staff are fantastic and informative. The facilities are incredible. The Oakes Cafe serves fabulous food at reasonable prices. I have spent my entire birthday there today, it’s genuinely been very special. Paul Logan is a genius and sensational coach. I highly recommend anyone who is getting into golf to see him. The advice and guidance provided today is priceless. After a few minutes, I improved my yardage by 30 yards and I only tweaked a couple of things. For anyone wondering about diving into golf. Do it, grab a second-hand set of clubs and get yourself to Lincoln Golf Centre. Thank you for a wonderful day, George (TheRevG)

Good driving range and very helpful staff in the shop, especially Sam. I don’t believe the Toptracer range should be at extra cost, I haven’t been to any other range that charges for the technology. Also the balls are old and knackered. They seem to have taken hand me downs from Trafford Golf Centre. Just buy new.

Easy booking system for the top tracer range. Well looked after range, tidy shop, and great to grab a coffee and a breakfast from the oaks cafe/restaurant attached to the shop. Or even grab a cold pint of estrella. Happy days. Highly recommend

My second Home 😂😂😂 Great staff friendly big thank you to Jake Paul and Steve

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.

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.

My hubby and I had our wedding reception at Belton Park Golf Club in July of this year and I cannot fault our experience. Im sorry its taken so long for me to write this review!! I specifically want to thank Matt and the lovely ladies on his team who helped on the day. You're all a credit to the club as you went above and beyond for making our evening so perfect and exactly how we wanted it to be. We had so much fun and our guests were well looked after! From beginning to end, Matt helped us with the planning, he was very attentive and made the entire process seamless. The food was plentiful and you really get a lot for value of money! We were also taken around the golf course on the carts so we could take photographs, which was really special! The landscape around the course is beautiful so we got some lovely photos. Thank you again for making our evening so memorable. I can thoroughly recommend Belton Park Golf Club as a venue to have your wedding reception at. Much love, Georgie & Perry Xxx

Played Gedney for the first time on 22/09/24. The course was in great condition and enjoyed the quirky layout with some difficult pin positions. The clubhouse is cosy offering great food & drinks & the members are extremely friendly.

Really nice course well looked after greens excellent not to much drift

Amazing course tip top condition excellent value wish I lived closer !!!

Short course compared to others but still really challenging. Very long par 5 and a few short holes too. Always nice to have a drink at the 19th hole. Bar area is nice and staff are very friendly.

Simply Awesome 👌 After taking my son here for some golf lessons, I can only say this place clearly has the WOW factor! The course itself is impressive, immaculate, maintained to a very high standard and very much has the unspoilt, quintessential rural England feel about it! Nick Fox the golf coach is equally impressive. His positive, thoughtful approach to teaching with the human touch certainly shines through in all he does! The way he conducts himself connecting with the individual, honing in on their character, putting the child at ease throughout is special! His attention to detail and expertise whilst teaching is meticulous but always friendly. In essence, I found the overall ambiance and friendliness of the club, from Ian Dickinson the men’s captain and it’s members generally something it seems is ingrained throughout and certainly somewhere I would wish my son to be! Lincolnshire has some great golfing heritage and this place is unquestionably the jewel in the crown 👑

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.
