Belton Woods Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort is set across 475 acres of Lincolnshire countryside, just outside Grantham and handily placed for the A1. It's a proper all-rounder for a UK golf break, with two championship courses, a nine-hole academy layout, a floodlit 21-bay range with TrackMan and enough off-course options to keep non-golfers happy too.
The Lakes Course is the big name on site, with water hazards that make you think twice on approach. The 9th is a serious yardage test at 609 yards, and unless you absolutely leather it, it's a three-shotter for most of us. Woodside is shorter but tighter, winding through mature woodland with a par of 73 and plenty of holes where placement beats power.
When you're not playing, the Serenity Spa, pool and gym make it easy to switch gears, and the activity provider can sort archery, clay pigeon shooting and quad biking if your group needs something different. Food-wise, the Bar & Grill has the course views and terrace for the post-round debrief, while The Claret Jug is the grab-and-go option near the clubhouse.
Belton Woods is located two miles north of Grantham, around 45 minutes from East Midlands Airport and 40 minutes from Lincoln, with straightforward access from the A1.
Who is this for? Golfers and groups looking for a weekend or midweek break that combines two contrasting championship courses with quality hotel facilities, spa access and plenty of off-course activities in a rural Lincolnshire setting.
Who is it best for? Mid-to-low handicappers who want a proper test across 36 holes, societies seeking variety and strong on-site amenities and couples or families who want to mix golf with leisure, spa treatments and outdoor pursuits.
