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.

Rating: 4 / 5

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.

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 👑

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.

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.

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

First time visiting this course and can safely say it won’t be my last ! Course in excellent overall condition considering time of year/recent weather. Found the greens to be very true and consistent, well done to all involved !

Rating: 5 / 5

Played it the 1st time and I found it to be a lovely golf course. I enjoyed the challenge of narrow fairways and the greens are fast and well maintained. The golf pro is a credit to the place. He is helpful and friendly and makes you feel welcome. I will definitely be playing here in the very near future. A lovely lynx course. 🏌️‍♀️

I attended a function here on 17th November. The setting, the room, the staff and the catering were excellent. The staff were helpful and polite. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend Ashby Decoy for a function. Nothing was too much trouble.

Rating: 5 / 5

We chose Ashby Decoy for our ladies lunch on the 17th Nov 2024, as we had been there numerous times before. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Looking out onto the scenic golf course made the day even more special. We will definitely return in the future.

We had my dad's Wake at Ashby Decoy Golf Club. The planning and communication before the event was excellent. On the day everything went very smoothly; the space was perfect for what we wanted. A lovely back drop of the golf course with a bar, tea and coffee, a wonderful buffet (provided by Victoria's tea room) and plenty of room to display some wonderful memories of our lovely dad. A relaxing spacious venue with plenty of parking and friendly staff.

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

Rating: 4 / 5

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 .

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.

We had our wedding here recently and wanted to thank Steph and the team so much! We had the most wonderful day and you all made it so perfect and were helpful and welcoming throughout it all. Nothing was too much trouble from the planning, meetings, emails to the day! Thank you! Mr & Mrs Drake 🤍

I was pleasantly surprised to discover a beautifully maintained golf course in the heart of Grimsby. The course was in excellent condition and provided a delightful setting for a leisurely stroll. Following our walk, we enjoyed a delicious meal at the clubhouse. I highly recommend the bacon and Stilton panini, which was simply exquisite.

Had a lovely Christmas meal here. Friendly staff and well worth the money. 😊🌈

Rating: 4 / 5

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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!

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]

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.

Fantastic carvery, the best around! Always return. Delicious food, generous portions, amazing environment overlooking the golf course and excellent service from staff. Highly recommend.

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.

Rating: 4 / 5

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

Rating: 5 / 5

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.
