Club Golf

There's a proper golf course tucked away near Cleethorpes that doesn't get the attention it deserves. Club Golf sits in that flat, wide-open Lincolnshire landscape where the horizon seems to go on for ever - and honestly, that works in its favour. The course itself is straightforward and unforgiving in the best way: no fancy clubhouse theatre, just honest golfing on links-style terrain that'll test your long game something fierce when the wind picks up off the North Sea nearby.

This is where you come if you actually want to play rather than faff about in a members-only club. The greens are quick, the rough is punishing, and the fairways demand respect. Walkers and casual golfers will find it approachable enough, but serious players really thrive here - it's the kind of course that rewards course management over pure distance.

I'd allow a good four hours minimum for eighteen holes, longer if you're learning the layout. You're about twenty minutes from Cleethorpes, so it sits well within a seaside break if you're staying at Haven Cleethorpes Beach Holiday Park - gives you something to do on one of those flat, grey days when the beach feels less appealing. Ring ahead first though; the website situation is a bit vague, so you'll want to confirm they've got space before you drive over.
