The Best Golf Courses in Barton Upon Humber, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom (2025)

We had a cracking time at my sons wedding at Cave Castle. The location is stunning and the hotel is just as good. The staff were outstanding and nothing is too much trouble. Laura the wedding planner is outstanding and everything ran smoothly. The barman, Rodney, is a great character and brilliant with kids and adults alike. We took 2 dogs and there were 2 beds and 2 bowls each in our room.

Cave castle a great hotel lovely rooms great staff I cannot fault it at all .Anne walker

Nice course with some challenging holes. Good food in the clubhouse plus friendly staff. We had a lovely day there

Importantly the first thing I would say to you is I would stay here stay here again, the Castle is a wonderful building and what is even better are the splendid grounds which it is set in,we did find one or two things that weren't quite to our liking but I didn't want to be over critical,it was apparent to both of us,great value for money and we appreciate these must be very difficult time's for you in hospitality, we wish you therefore, the very best and hope to see you again sometime soon.

Possibly the most difficult golf course I've ever played and I've played over 500 all over the world. If you can't carry the ball 200 yds off the tee , stay at home. Absolutely brutal but brilliant at the same time. Definitely not fun, but a magnificent challenge

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.

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

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.

Very good and challenging course. Good of all abilities. Highly recommend. ⛳️ 🏌️‍♂️

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. 🏌️‍♀️

It was great to return to Cleethorpes Golf Club after many years, to bring Mum and my sister for lunch. The food was excellent with great service. I enjoyed reading the competition boards, lots of great memories. It’s fantastic to see the juniors are still playing for Dad’s trophy Happy Golfing ! Jonathan Lamb PGA

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!

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.

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 🤍

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Took Dad in here for Sunday roast dinner and it was superb. Lamb shank and venison dinners, with a load of various veg, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding etc were faultless. Will definitely be going back. Best Sunday roast dinner I have had at a venue. Quiet, warm and welcoming with all staff friendly, coutreous and professional. Book and go, you will not be disappointed.

Came for Sunday lunch with the family, had the salmon, pork and beef and everyone of us were really happy with the food and welcoming service! Then the cheesecake was the icing on the cake! A welcome change of ownership and I’d recommend the new team and the golf club for a place to eat (and drink!) for everyone!! Would definitely recommend if you have tried here before to give it another go, or if you are looking for somewhere new to try! Thank you!

Made very welcome as a visitor. Top bacon and egg "bun" and a coffee for £5 breakfast. Course was very interesting. Far from simple but not impossible. Allowed the odd wayward shot. Really could do with signs indicating where the next tee box is. Cracking value a round and buggy for £40.

Private function .Great venue and buffet was excellent. Really good facilities. Not forgetting the fab staff

Played here twice this year, both times the course has been in great condition. Good fast and true greens. Food always hits the spot, can't beat a great fish and chip meal after playing golf.

I went for a 60th birthday party. The staff were very pleasant and polite. The food, especially the roast beef, was cooked to perfection.

Amazing day and the WHOLE course was open(winter/Jan)... no temp greens or tees. The price was £20pp in a group of 5. Front 9 was nice and open with a bit of water and the back 9 was very testing but still amazing with a little bit more water 😉😂 the greens are a bit fast for the time of year but that's golf.

Great golf course. Well kept, excellent management and very good tuition. Loved it 🏌‍♂️

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.

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.

Great course, booked through golf now for a 4 ball and we weren't disappointed. This place is a little gem, diamonds cut fairways, deep filled bunkers, course in great condition and lovely to play. Everyone we met around the clubhouse were friendly and polite, we'll definitely be returning.

Lovely course; golf at it's best regardless of the score 😊

We visited here on a sad occasion, being the buffet following the funeral service of a friend in Hull who had been an active member of this golf club. A large number of attendees came on to the wake so that many had to stand despite the communal room being large and having many tables and comfy chairs. The kitchens provided a huge amount of food which was more than suffice for the large crowd and was excellent quality. Well done to all the staff involved.

Excellent course that's well looked after. Clean & comfortable clubhouse with good snap at sensible prices
