Messingham Grange - Championship Course

No golf shop had to wait at the bar to be served behind loads of golfers waiting for drinks

I used to be a member and the course was never immaculate but the condition currently is the worse I’ve ever seen it. There seems to be a lot of work going into the log cabins that they’ve maybe took their eye off the ball when it comes to the golf course. I do like the layout of the course but the condition massively lets it down. I only paid £21 but I certainly wouldn’t recommend this course at the moment.

Greens ok but everything else very rough.Tee beds were awful certainly no maintenance on the tee beds ,Totally awful. Fairways rough and ready unsure what was there before the golf course but it looks like it's been built on reclaimed land.

Tried this course again to see if had improved, bout had got worse. Weeds, rabbit holes, no grass, dead grass and no define rough. Apparently there is a rule in place member mentioned after round where you can pick and place in fairway dilute to poor condition.

Tees are horrendous, no grass, holes and weeds!

Greens good to be fair but second cut and bunkers terrible.

This is a health and safety hazard.

Without some serious TLC this course will be closed soon as if there is a wet autumn/ winter it will turn to mud.

Feel sorry for members, it’s not an expensive course but that’s all relative!

Shame tbh but I will look at other courses in the area. They be a little more expensive but for value for money this course can’t compete.

If staff weren’t so accommodating I would have asked for refund.

Clubhouse is great but way over priced.

Spoke to very disappointed lodge guests who had come for golf breaks as well as disillusioned members.

Very very disappointing venue for golf and for a break if want to play golf go elsewhere.

This course has gone downhill in the last 12 months. Appreciate the weather is not helping but compared to other courses in the local area the fairways and tee boxes are a disgrace, full of rabbit holes, weeds, no grass or seeding grass shoots the are 5 inches high. Impossible to tell fairway from the rough.

This golf course should not be available on Golf Now as is not fit to play upon unless was £5 per round but is the. A health and safety hazard.

Greens have shrunk since I last played assuming to reduce maintenance but are in a reasonably good condition.

Clubhouse is very good but very expensive over £16 for breakfast!

Staff are great and friendly.

Same the golf course doesn’t match those standards.

Not a great destination for a golf break unfortunately as could be very good.

Just look at the pitches!

We have played messingham lakes lots of times over the past few years and I don’t know how they have let the course get so bad so quickly tees like allotments or the Wild West with tall weeds on them no grass on fairways greens ok ish put for 22 quid and been lots of times before it’ was dreadful we won’t be going back sorry the donny lads golf tour 👎👎👎👎👎

Where do I Start …. Tee boxes are Terrible , Fairways are Shocking !! I appreciate we have had very little rainfall but I have played other courses in the area and the fairway’s are not brilliant due to the dry weather but nowhere near as bad as these . 11 and 12 are an accident waiting to happen . Rabbit holes and weeds are a major problem . The aprons and around the greens are awful . Bunkers are just dust . Greens are ok . Didn’t see any green staff apart from on the way out cutting the grass round the lodges We played behind a 5 ball sharing clubs !!!! Yes you read it right a 5 ball !!! 2 of the group sharing clubs and not in golf clothing . On the website they describe the course as “6233 Yards of Lush Faiways and Challenging Features” they definitely got the last bit right . Also described as

“Messingham Lakes offers a stunning 18-hole course in 140 acres of scenic North Lincolnshire countryside. Golfers can expect well-groomed fairways and an engaging layout with water hazards and bunkers to test their skills” it’s false advertising if I’m being honest . Only positive I could take from the day is the balcony overlooking 18 . I wouldn’t waste your time or money here in my opinion.

Course was in better condition than last time I went there, tee boxes could benefit from a good overall as they had a lot of divots and holes which made it difficult to find a decent spot to tee from as well as get a even stance ,but otherwise enjoyed my round and would definitely go again

Played today for the 1st time and I will not be returning!! Tee boxes are shocking , hole 11 is an accident waiting to happen . Rabbit holes all over the fairways . Weeds on a majority of Fairways . A severe lack of care !! The only positive I could give is the greens . Not brilliant but ok . If also like to add the pace of play was very slow over 4 hrs 20 mins for a 3 ball . Will definitely not be returning

fantastic place course was very dry and hard needs water but fantastic place

No real club house, just use the bar in the resurant.

Teas were in very poor condition, little grass, fairways hard to distinguish, overgrown, lots of badger hols etc. Green were only area looked after.

Wouldn't go again. Expensive for what you get. Better around.

Excellent course. Greens wonderful. Drinks and sandwiches were delicious.

Great course with friendly staff. Fairways were dry but as expected due to recent weather conditions. Greens were superb. Well worth the fee.

Driving range and well stocked golf shop across the road.

Would be great as a golfing holiday destination too

There were far too many people on the course at any one time which leads me to think that the bookings had gone wrong and people were just jumping on

I know we haven't had much rain but at least 6 of the fairways were like straw. Not sure i

The course has had much attention or work done but even the tees were scruffy with overflowing bins etc

I think it could be a good course but it will need a bit of work and money spending on it

Was not happy on arriving at the first tee to see it was closed,shortly after a guy showed up and told us the 18th tee was also closed due to an event that was taking place close to the club house. Was not told this when we arrived, otherwise would not have booked. Spoilt our game. Greens were not as good as they usually are neither. We play this course often but this has put us off booking again.

Really good course, friendly staff booking in. I think they may need to refill the sand in the bunkers as I spent so much time in them ! 😀 Good fun, thanks.

Was dissapointed on arrival, after booking online we were not told that holes 1 and18 were closed due to an event going on, spoilt our game and was not happy.
