The Lincolnshire Golf Course

The drive from Doncaster takes you out past the suburbs into proper countryside, and that's where Lincolnshire Golf Course sits - an 18-hole course that's been around long enough to know what it's doing. If you've got a handicap and you're staying nearby, it's worth a round. The layout's friendly enough for mid-range players but won't bore anyone who knows their way around a golf course.

It's the sort of place where locals actually want to play, which tells you something. The fairways are well-maintained, and unlike some courses that charge London prices for average turf, this feels like honest golf. Not championship-level drama, but solid and unpretentious. You'll need to book ahead - walk-ins aren't really the done thing at established courses like this.

For golfers staying at Mooreacres holiday park just six miles away, this is a natural fit into your break. You can knock off a round in the morning, have lunch at the clubhouse, and still have the afternoon free for whatever else the area offers. Families without golfers in tow should probably skip it - spectating a full round gets tedious fast. But if your holiday group includes anyone who actually plays, an afternoon here beats sitting in the caravan.
