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

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!!!

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 👑

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.

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.

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 .

Fantastic course with friendly, helpful staff. Great to play in winter as well as summer. Definitely worth a visit.

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.

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 !!

Oh my goodness. Worth every penny. Need to drive well , which I did. Welcoming club. Was never made to feel out of place. Excellent pro shop staff , with advice. The best merchandise shop I have ever seen. Thanks to Heide and Brian in booking as my trip was in jeopardy due to illness. Breakfast and bar staff Excellent. No snobbyness whatsoever. Can I go back please. Expensive but worth every penny. I played well so that helped.

The championship course is a great test of your golf as well as a challenging experience. Well worth adding to your bucket list. The clubhouse is a bit disappointed for the home of English golf though.

Great place. Very well kept and manicured course. Challenging bunkers, in a great, natural setting. Nice club house, good food and a well stocked pro shop. All staffed by very pleasant and helpful people.

Two incredible golf courses which may just be the best value for money in the UK. Practice facilities looked great but were too busy the day we visited so didn't get to use them. Shop was well stocked, friendly service and the starters on both courses set us on our way very well. Clubhouse is tired and in need of an overall. I always look forward to a beer over looking the course after we finish but was disappointed with the bar and outdoor seating in offer. Will be back for the golf, if nothing else.

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.

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

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.

It's OK. It's the only decent hotel in area which gives them a bit of a monopoly. Rooms themselves are looking a little tired and could do with new carpet and and a good deep clean (dust all around headboard). Beds are well past their best too. I had a room with ac which only went down to 21c. I booked a room with ac as I like a cold room for sleeping in. Asking in reception I was told this is centrally controlled and can't be changed. A few hours later my colleague checks in and has also booked a room with ac and his went down to 18. Few min on Google and mine went down to 16. I don't know if reception staff were told to say this due to penny pinching or if they didn't know or simply didn't care but I didn't really appreciate it after spending up to £200 a night for a room. Fitness facilities are OK with large pool, steam and sauna. Food doesn't have enough variety for evening meals and is very expensive. Sutton Arms down the road is good if you want a change of scenery. Breakfast was excellent but coffee machine is powdered milk. Better with the filter coffee and fresh milk which is on offer.

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.

Excellent food,great bar service with a wide variety on offer.Lots of events,quiz nights & dancing. Always a warm welcome for us social members.

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!

Very friendly club just minutes from the centre of Lincoln. Although on the short side the parkland layout is is far from easy. Fairways and greens are in good condition. Food in the clubhouse is always excellent and the staff always friendly. Well worth a visit.

Well impressed with this course. Played on Sunday and £10 for 18 holes was the cheapest I have ever paid! The greens were a little rough but the course was a great design with even some par 5 holes. Everyone I met on the course were lovely and was clearly signposted where the next hole is (a pet hate of mine on some courses when you have never played!) Also, unrelated but got my first ever birdie on the 17th hole. Got this close (photo) from 150 yards ❤️

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

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

2 couple went for 2 nights and the men played golf. The golf course was excellent kept and wonderful to play on . The time delay between players needs looking into as there were a few queues on the greens at times. The hotel and staff are a credit to Belton Woods. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable, nothing was to much trouble. Everything was clean and stylish. The rooms were very large and so was the bathroom. Not a lot of pressure out of our shower but adequate. All in all a great weekend away. Thanks 😊

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!

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.

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!

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!
