Not a bad little course but the greens need a little work on them, gets better with every visit, not too busy either which is nice. the new owners are trying their best and are putting some good deals on. Good value for money.

I have played this course many times but finally the management structure has changed (oct 2014) and already within 3 weeks the course is in fantastic condition, I just hope they don't rest on there laurels. Money is now being invested in manpower and resources and a vast improvement is already visible out on the course with more promised. I can understand where a lot of the negative comments came from but some were unwaranteed. Ex members with an axe to grind against previous management structure clouded some judgements.

Reviewed Jun 30 2014
I played the course late june 2014. Grass cutting machinery had been out of action for a little while so fairways a little long, but perfectly playable. Greens in pretty good condition and the course was very enjoyable to play. Unfortunately SIM (the owner?) had been called away to a family crisis so no one was available to cook. However we were made very welcome by the staff and person standing in and by the members we met during the round. Staff had just started cutting all the grass again and it is certainly a course I would enjoy playing again. Need to be fairly straight as lots of tree lined fairways and water hazards including one bunker with water and ducks swimming in it ;-), plus other normal water hazards. I can't recall seeing any sand bunkers, all grass bunkers. Very good value for money.

Horncastle Golf Club is a challenge for even the best of golfers. The course is at the best standard it has ever been at however does have 1-2 damp patches but are easy to avoid. I recomend this Golf course as it has a great set of practise nets and a superb putting green which will be in action in the coming weeks. It is a very good course to play and is very fun. If you play at your best you should recive a good score however there are some very irritating hazards which will make you want to replay the shot. Overall it is a great course and has a superb feel on the course and in the clubhouse. It also is home to some very good food at a reasonable price this is a good golf course for a nice day out. I am hoping to play alot more in the summer when i can go in my shorts ;P. Superb

We as a four ball on a Groupon promotion played this course on Friday 21st. The first thing to say is this is NOT a championship course and to call it a Golf and country club is I believe over egging the cake, yes there is a mobile caravan park with a fishing lake nearby, but that's not we went for or maybe what you want to know. The club house is new being compact but we received a warm welcome. The Pro shop was a little counter with a very limited selection of stock. We were given both a score card and a colour course planner on a A4 piece of paper that we found very helpful. We had a meal of pie, chips and carrots, the pie was very nice.
Now the course, being 5477 in length, par 69/70 depending if you play off the Yellow or the White tees. 5 par 3's ranging from 131 yards to 208 yards. 2/3 par 5's all around 450 yards. The par 4's range from 267yards to 437 yards with 4 being less than 300 yards. The course has a large number of mature trees lining the fairways that were very well kept. This also applied to the greens. I play a lot of high profile golf courses and this course on the day I went was as good as any I have played this year. Water was also in play on 14 of the holes. Full 7 day Membership is £335 per year. What did we think. Well, I wish we had this facility in Nottinghamshire. I would join this club solely for the perfect on course practice opportunities playing a round offers. As we all know the short game is what we all have to work on and this is exactly what is offered, you can try driving the greens an the short par 4's but beware the fairways are mainly tight and tree lined with as mentioned water in play on most. 3 wood or long iron's off the tee's with shot irons into small if not postage stamp greens with banks around many present a interesting challenge to help sharpen your short game. No one would say Horncastle come any wear near Woodhall Spa that is just down the road, everyone would say it is not in the same league and to be honest it is not intended to be but and it is a VERY BIG BUTif you play this course regularly and use it as a practice facility you WILL lower your handicap. I have played all around the country and I can honestly say I have never played a course that offers this opportunity to improve your game. Please give it a try and look at it in respect of developing your game and not as a competition course.
