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

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 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.

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

Was able to come up from down south and play holme hall and thought the course was in superb condition also found the members very helpful and welcoming. The food was of the highest quality and the staff were all excellent. Well done done to all at holme and keep up the great work.

Great course with excellent greens. Friendly and welcoming staff. Good value for money

Lovely quiet place to chill and relax….we stopped in one of the Pet Friendly one bedroom lodges. Absolutely beautiful, recently refurbished and you could tell. Furnishings are stunning 🤩 We got a lovely Dog Welcome Pack which was a nice touch, but would have preferred a welcome pack of washing up liquid, sponge and maybe a tea towel as we forgot ours!!! Clubhouse is lovely and the staff are very friendly. Nearest pubs and restaurants are in Messingham which is 2 miles away, so a little too far to walk if you like a drink 🥃

A mixture of challenging holes for the beginner and experienced alike. We unfortunately picked the wettest day of the year, which took the edge off our day. But the staff are very helpful and the rain stops when it gets to your skin. Needless to say the sun came out on the last hole😀

Played a round of golf and was impressed with the condition of the course. Played twilight golf so was good value for money. Only downside was the condition of the bunkers but with the weather we have had can overlook this.

Just had our daughter and son in laws wedding there couldn't of wished for a better venue the room was set up just as my daughter had asked nothing was to much trouble. The staff were first class nothing was to much to ask .We stopped for two nights in the lodges they were clean and very spacious. The food that was served on the day was very good. I would highly recommend this venue to anybody who has a special occasion to celebrate. Once again thanks to all involved.

Excellent Sunday lunch, the beef melted in the mouth and the accompanying vegetables were fresh and cooked just right. Friendly staff, eager to oblige. Good to see some familiar faces. Thoroughly recommended.

Great long weekend here! The lodge and hot tub was beautiful and A great size to comfortably fit a family of 6! We loved the tennis and fishing! We will definitely be returning, maybe for a full week rather than 3 nights!

Photo Booth Empire. We set up our Led regular inflatable photo booth for birthday party. Best photo booth hire in Scunthorpe.

The course is in great condition, returning after almost 20 years away and to trees have grown. Still a great challenge. Greens are in really good condition, additional drainage added to certain holes, great effort

Fantastic Golf course, great condition for this time of year. Well done yo the greenkeepers and the pros. Really enjoyed playing this weekend.

As a member I am probably bias, but as a municipal course it is very well maintained. The course offers a great variety of challenging holes with a great test for golfers of all abilities. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Amazing course, and all the staff are very helpful and accommodating. The green keepers respect the golfers even when working on the fairways or greens. This is the only course I've contemplated joining as I like to play different courses each week.....

I do recommended to renovation practice area. It's dirty and old!! But 3 golf courses are absolutely stunning as always!! You can see Pines Bar photos menu on my post! Our snack lunch is great 👍🏻 👌.

Returned for a round of golf after many years since my last visit, pro shop is still very good with a solid selection of gear. Breakfast sandwich and coffee in the upstairs bar was very good and friendly staff. Regarding the course I was left a little disappointed, it has been a long time since my last visit of which I remember it being excellent but the course seemed a little tired. The greens were very patchy in places and painfully slow, and fairways and tee boxes were quite long. That being said it’s still kept tidy around the courses and it’s still a very good looking course on the eye and a testing track.

Everything about the hotel was top notch. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was excellent, and the accommodation had everything we wanted. As for the golf, probably the best course I’ve played!! Great condition and superb layout. Would highly recommend.

More of a 4.5, but just a couple of minor let downs. Firstly, it was about -1, so naturally the course was a bit frosty in places, but for £30 you won't get better value for a winter round of golf. We played the Forest/Pines layout, and every hole was different and presented different challenges. It is a well thought out lay out, where anything wayward will get punished, but not to the point of not feeling like you can get yourself out of a tight spot. The few let downs were - Some tee boxes were in play, others were off winter mats that were the size of doormats, and they were horrendously slippy (a mixture of the cold weather, but they were all well worn too). Every pin was right at the front edge of every green - Again, it's winter on a very good golf course so naturally you expect the greens to be protected, but it just meant you were putting through a very trodden area each time, and for the better golfers out there, there was no real reward for finding the centre of a green, or flighting a shot over the hazards etc. The Pines Bar was a nice spot, but there was no indication if food was available, other than empty plates that had been left on 4 or 5 tables , and there wasn't a menu for food in sight. Overall, it's the middle of winter, so you're never going to see or play a course at it's true stature, so we will return in the Spring and see what it's like, but certainly worth the money at this time of year
