Gold Courses in Lincolnshire

Golfing is one of the many activities which visitors and tourists can enjoy in Lincolnshire. In fact, there are quite a number of golf courses in Lincolnshire with almost all open to the public – with no membership needed.

Lincolnshire is the second biggest of all the counties in the UK, stretching over 1,663,850 acres of beautiful countryside with some of the most historic and scenic views available.

The county is rich in both history and atmosphere, providing you with a fantastic opportunity to view some of England’s old buildings whilst here on your golf stay.

With over 25 golf courses in Lincolnshire, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Despite Lincolnshire’s size and coverage, many of the golf courses are close to one another, which makes squeezing two rounds into one day much more achievable.

Each course is unique in its own right. We have Links courses on the east coast around Skegness, beautiful Parkland course such as Torksey or Belton Woods, with nice and open courses suitable for all levels dotted all around.
