Family time

Definitely worth playing. The facilities are….Spartan. But the views. And the sheep on the course. And the horse bushes. There’s a quarry. It’s like a links, but it’s parkland. Holes are interesting. Well worth it.

Lovely, quirky course, great fun!

Hadn't played here before but seen some good course vlogs so gave it a go and didn't regret it! It has a lovely variety of holes (including the sheep on some!!) and really quirky in nature on some of them, the back 9 especially is very good although the little parkland section over the road is nice too. Greens were very good and the course in super condition - several green staff were out watering greens etc while we played which is a good sign. Excellent value for money at £15 and will definitely be back!

Well worth the fee!

Such a strange course, more Lincs than most seaside courses... It's challenging, it requires thought and execution but luck may be involved. It's tight so fore is always needed! The greens were ok, Augusta national can rest easy, but they were playable. The club house staff and the members we met were very friendly and welcoming, the drinks and food excellent and reasonably priced. All in all, highly recommended.

Variation on a Theme

Although we were disappointed to find out there were 5 holes closed because of overnight rain, the Professional went to great pains to ensure we enjoyed a full 18 hole experience. The members on the course were very welcoming and chatty, which further enhanced our day. The course itself was a new experience for us, having played on parkland courses in the main, the fairways looked like they had been subjected to a meteorite attack some years ago leaving craters which have since recovered by grass growth. This gives the course it's own unique feature and adds to it's quirkiness.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our round around Holy well and would not hesitate to recommend it to others
