Best Golf Courses in Lincoln, Lincolnshire (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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

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.

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

Lincoln Golf Centre has truly raised the game! The driving range, equipped with Toptracer technology, takes practice to the next level. From tracking ball speed to virtual courses, it’s not just a range session; it’s an experience that adds a whole new level of fun and challenge. The shop is a golfer’s dream—stocked with everything you could possibly need, from top-tier clubs to accessories. It’s great to see a place so dedicated to keeping golfers well-equipped and ready to play their best. And the course? Absolutely pristine. The fairways are lush, the greens roll true, and you can tell a lot of care goes into keeping it in tiptop condition. Lincoln Golf Centre is the perfect blend of high-quality facilities and a welcoming atmosphere—a real gem for golfers of any level.

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.

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

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.

Tons of fun. Wasn't too busy so was able to get through courses quickly and to take time to take photos. Highly recommend to anyone.

Great crazy golf for adults and really friendly staff and service . Loved it !!

Rating: 4 / 5

A lot of fun, good laugh for the adults! Feel like something could be done to the edges to a lot of the holes-more bounce or ramped edges to help with corners or something. But all round good fun.

Rating: 5 / 5

So much fun!! Theme is hilarious and just unlike any other adventure golf I've done. Would reccomend.

Just spent a couple of days at Millfield and stayed in one of the chalets. Exceptionally clean accommodation and had everything we needed for the night. The course itself is good and you really can’t grumble at the price. Staff are friendly and there’s no airs and graces. Will return. Thanks

This is not the best value golf course in Lincolnshire, it's probably the best value in England, forgot stereotypical golf course snobbery what you see here is what you get, down to earth, friendly people who have made golf accessible and more importantly affordable to all, Well done all at millfield golf complex

We have been coming here for the last 9 years. This year (2022) in June will be our 10th Year. We cut our Golfing teeth on these courses and enjoy coming back every year. The value for money is incredible and if you want a quiet, no frills, no snobbery golf weekend away with friends this place is a pure hidden Gem! The owners are friendly and helpful. Places like this just don't exist anymore. The Grenville course is a great place to learn with its open fairways. The Main course is a challenge with a slope index of 143! The greens run true and there are some really interesting holes you will just never see on a modern course. This is the only course I've played where you have to T off over bushes and trees and lay up in front of a green surrounded by a hedge!! You will not find better value Golf in the UK. It's not Augusta but then again Augusta isn't Millfield!!

Went along with my son, who is just taking up the game. We went on the 9 hole short course and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Warm welcome and no pressure golf....thank you

I had a great first time experience here last week. Super friendly and welcoming pro shop. Course in great condition, lots of trees and some nice views.

Rating: 5 / 5

The minute you walk into the clubhouse you feel what a lovely welcoming club this is. The course is beautiful with some tough holes over water and ditches. It's in great condition. Afterwards the catering is excellent and so reasonable too. Everything is homemade. Looking forward to another visit.

Second time playing here and is a very enjoyable parkland course. Not too much elevation but the twists and turns of the fairways to get a shot at the green make this course a uniquely challenging one, but really enjoyable. The staff and members I ran into are super friendly too, Lucy in particular was very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend playing here!

Great course with some tricky holes, you have to have you course management head on to score well. Greens have been really good this year. Overall a nice, friendly, welcoming club.

The hotel needs an update as it is getting very tired in places. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. Bar prices were a bit steep but the food was good especially the breakfast. The golf courses were both in reasonable condition and proved a good test of golf.

Lucky enough to play the lakes course twice for work, the course was in incredible condition, plenty of fairways to attack, some stunning water holes. Hotel is amazing too, looks incredibly chique and food was amazing. Would definitely go back

Rating: 5 / 5

Played the Lakes Course after the recent cold snap, so everything (tees, greens, lakes, bunkers, fairways and rough! 😂) were frozen. Despite the recent horrendous weather, the course was in excellent condition. Really interesting layout, no two holes are the same, and as suggested in the name of this particular course, plenty of water to navigate around! The staff we encountered in the golf shop and in the bar afterwards were very friendly, polite and helpful, and the interior of the hotel/bar/restaurant is on par with The Belfry - Very stylish and classy, with a welcoming vibe to the entire complex. Looking forward to coming back in the spring when it's a bit warmer!

Stunning golf club. Beautiful setting in the Lincolnshire countryside. The club house is warm and friendly. All the staff that I met were very welcoming. The course is very mature and challenging in places. Green fees are well priced. I look forward to visiting this club again.

I have found Sleaford golf club the one of the friendliest and most inviting golf clubs in Lincolnshire! Being from the South of England I have struggled to make connections in my new town but after playing a match against Sleaford for my current club I have been invited on numerous occasions by this year captain, Paul, to play and get to know the members. The course is a fantastic layout and I have enjoyed it every time I’ve played it - plus you can see it’s constantly improving. I will be joining at the end of the year, as an overall experience this has been more inviting and is what I was looking for when we moved to the area. Great people and a great course!

First time there. The moment I turned into the car park and saw the clubhouse and green I knew it was going to be a great place.

Rating: 5 / 5

Played at Sleaford golf club for the first time today, certainly won't be the last. The greens are amazing, so true and roll perfectly, you feel like you can hole them from all distances. Easily as good as the likes of hollinwell and coxmoor in Nottinghamshire, or horsley lodge and Breadsall priory in Derbyshire etc. The fairways are generous but stray off them and the aestheticly pleasing whispy rough hurts, as it should. Royal st george's style! Throughly enjoyed the golf course. The members we spoke to were welcoming and helpful. Lovely surroundings too, enjoying a drink outside the clubhouse and watching players hit onto the lovely 18th Green. You won't be disappointed!

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.

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

Went with my sister we had a brilliant time, lady on reception was lovely nicest reception lady I have ever had in a hotel and I've been in a few. Nice walk round golf course, nice spa lots more seating round the pool this time. I'm glad they didn't have the ice machine in the spa as the last time we went, kids were eating it not good when customers use it on there bodys. Restaurant after walk round golf course was very nice after for coffee ☕️ our room was amazing cannot fault any thing in the hotel. Outside was lovely too, only one thing could have looked better is the little park area needs a bit of tidy up. Dinner and breakfast were amazing too in the restaurant, me and my sister are going to make it our yearly thing. Thank you for making our time amazing.
