Fantastic facility worth a visit
Great parkland club with two courses, driving range, putting green and great value food in the bar. Also if you play Ping they are onsite too. Only negative was pace of play of group behind who must have had elsewhere to be having pushed us round in 3.5 hrs for a 2 ball.(Round played: Jul 2017 - Score: 96 Handicap: 22)

Such a superb venue, when its on it !
I personally think Gainsbrough GC is one of the best golfing venues in my area, fantastic clubhouse and set up, two lovely courses and a great range and pro shop etc. However from late 2019 through to now (April 2021) there had been some issues with the Karsten Lakes course and how it was being looked after. Even their own members had raised concerns and did not accept the excuses that it was recovering from improvements made in 2019. But, I am pleased to say that playing it yesterday, it is returning to its glamorous best (Karsten Lakes that is). It's still not there yet, but its getting there and will be amazing as it used to be. Challenging long drives, water, tricky greens and a great finishing run of holes. This is a course worth going to for the whole package as in my opinion you really can't beat it in the Doncaster area. Keep up the redevelopments there and it will be a course everyone will want to visit,Reviewer Rating

Value but a bit poor for October
Firstly, my game was crap until the 11th in but for a 'Ping' owned facility the overall condition of the course was, I felt, poor for early October. Fairways were patchy and greens bobbly and uneven with odd exception. Add to this you appreciate course maintenance is a necessity and they should have priority but to be kept for 10 mins on a Tee for a par 3 was annoying as a following 2 & 3 ball were already waiting by the time we were able to hit.(Round played: Oct 2020 - Score: 109 Handicap: 22.7)

Great Course, Lovely Facilities
One the best clubhouses in the area and two really interesting and challenging courses. My preference is the Karsten Lakes course as I like a bit of water to be involved, but the Thonock Park one is often the favourite of many in our Society. The courses are always in good nick and the food and clubhouse hospitality are second to none in the area. Certainly worth a visit and especially if you like Ping golf equipment like me ! :-)Reviewer Rating

Thonock Park is a good challenge
We have stayed and played here before and always love the whole place, from the best clubhouse in the area to the hospitality and the difference in the two courses. They are very inviting to visitors and we certainly would go back again and again. The Thonock Park Course is interesting and has some nice long holes, personally I prefer the Lakes course, but I would play either given the chance.Reviewer Rating

Great layout, rough on the Karsten Lakes is penal, bunkers on the poor side, and the greens were on the slow side. Water on a few holes which needed respecting. Thonock course was a little tighter but not so penal if you missed the fairway. Very warm reception from the pro-shop and the staff in cafe 19 and the 19th (bar), good food too.
Would I visit again? On this experience YES
