Got a weekend trip to Belton Woods planned shortly - never heard of the venue, we just picked based on available, open and reasonably priced. Anyone played/stayed there? What should I expect?
Thought I'd resurrect rather than create a new one. Looking at this place for our trip next year, ticks the boxes we usually look at, 2 courses and around 2 hours or less from home.
The deal we've found is for 3 rounds, rather just play the two at the resort and then get another round in nearby. Any recommendations?
Belton Park, just up the road, is beautiful.
Sleaford GC is pretty with some interesting features (and will be cheaper than BP!).
Stoke Rochford (on the A1 just S of Grantham) is a picturesque and very friendly club.
Came back from here last week, what a lovely place. Bar prices were high but that never bothers me as I'm there for the golf not boozing. Enjoyed both courses but found The Lakes a bit easier and shot a (good for me) 86.
We played Newark on the Friday we arrived and that was also good, would love to return.
Few others in ther area as well, if you have the time add Belton Park and Stoke Rochford to the list.
I'll add them to the list if we ever return. I did try to build them into our trip but they didn't have availability.

Belton Park is the best in the area (imo), but then I've not played BW for over a decade, so it might have been looked after and improved since I lived there and was a member back in me youth. But I never, ever tire of playing Belton Park. Played it twice this year already (lucky enough to have mates who are still members) - try and play it whenever I'm back in the shire.
