Golf breaks in Lincolnshire

Lincolnshire is one of England’s most underrated destinations for a UK golf break, combining outstanding courses, peaceful countryside, coastal towns, and excellent value. From the famous heathland layouts at Woodhall Spa to resort golf at Belton Woods and Forest Pines, the county offers plenty of variety for golfers looking for a relaxed and memorable getaway.

Golf in Lincolnshire is especially well suited to groups who want quality courses without the crowds. The county’s slower pace of life, open landscapes, and easy access from both the North and South make it a practical choice for a short golf break, society trip, or stay & play escape.

The main golf season in Lincolnshire typically runs from spring through to autumn, with the best playing conditions usually found between April and October. Summer is ideal for longer days and extra holes, while spring and early autumn can offer quieter courses, good value, and enjoyable conditions.

Here are some top tips to consider when booking a golf holiday:

• Pack for changeable conditions - Lincolnshire’s coastal courses can be breezy, especially at venues such as North Shore, so bring layers and waterproofs.
• Book Woodhall Spa early - as one of England’s standout golf venues, tee times at Woodhall Spa can be in high demand, particularly for groups and peak-season breaks.
• Consider a stay & play resort - Belton Woods, Forest Pines, and North Shore Hotel & Golf Club are ideal for golfers who want accommodation, golf, food, and leisure facilities in one place.
• Mix inland and coastal golf - combine heathland or parkland golf with a round by the sea to experience the best variety Lincolnshire has to offer.
• Allow time to explore - Lincolnshire has plenty to enjoy away from the fairways, from historic cities and market towns to beaches, nature reserves, and countryside walks.
