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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

Rating: 5 / 5

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.....

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.

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 🥃

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.

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.

Stayed here overnight on Saturday 30th November 2024. The room and hotel were fantastic. The facilities are brilliant with the pool spa, gym and golf all being top standard. We had a lovely evening meal in the main restaurant. The food was beautiful. All the staff were extremely helpful and polite, especially Harrison who looked after us in the restaurant. Will be going back soon, thank you.

We stayed here (leisure, not business) for two nights in December. The thing that really makes this place stand out is the service and the pool. Okay, that’s two things… the pool is excellent, a pleasant 29 degrees and well maintained but the real stand out is the service. Everyone we dealt with - reception, bar, restaurant - was really pleasant and helpful. I’m going to single out Jess and Harrison in the restaurant for just going the extra mile and making our two meals there especially pleasant but it has to be said that everyone there goes about their job with a smile on their face. It’s rare in this day and age and long may it continue like this at Forest Pines

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights to celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary on 17th November. The hotel is lovely. Great location, warm, welcoming and relaxing and without doubt the best thing about the hotel is the staff. Every staff member we came into contact with was friendly and attentive and wanted to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The housekeeping team made a special effort in our room making a cute swan display out of towels and leaving a banner, balloons and a card for us. The spa and pool area is really relaxing. The restaurant staff made us a celebratory chocolate brownie dessert which was really cute. We have had a lovely, relaxing break and will definitely be back.

We had our steampunk wedding reception there on 30th October 2021 the staff were so wonderful nothing to much the room was decorated by myself as I'm just obsessive that way but the complement when all done by friends and family was great I'd certainly recommend them for a party anytime

We provided our disco services for a wedding party in the main function room in March of this year. The venue and bar staff were very helpful in coordinating the celebration and ensured everything went smoothly for the bride and groom. We look forward to the possibility of returning to this venue for any upcoming events in the future.

Rewind 80's and Sam Lyons put on a fab 80's night.

Rating: 4 / 5

1st of all, let me start by saying the staff was very friendly and polite at all times, I attended a birthday party here. The function room had a small bar well stocked and as efficient as could be for the size of it, the placed seemed dated and needs a bit of a deep clean and a bit of tlc spending on it! Only as I see it in the daylight, in the night time at a party enjoying yourselves, you don't really notice it, BUT for Day time functions would definitely benefit from the much needed TLC, There is plenty of parking, the toilets need the same TLC but the do function and was clean enough. Overall, we had a good night, and all the staff are friendly.
