1 Night, 2 Rounds
Belton Woods Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort sits on 475 acres of Lincolnshire countryside, just outside Grantham, and it's the sort of place you can build a proper weekend around. You've got two championship 18-hole courses, a handy academy layout for loosening up and a four-star hotel with a leisure centre and spa, so nobody's stuck twiddling their thumbs when they're not on the tee.
If you're travelling as a group, it's an easy win: golfers can get their rounds in, while everyone else has the pool, gym and Serenity Spa, plus activities like archery, quad biking and clay pigeon shooting. And if you're the organiser, the location helps too, with quick access from the A1, around 45 minutes from East Midlands Airport and roughly 40 minutes from Lincoln.
Food-wise, you've got two solid options on site. The Bar & Grill looks out over the course and has a terrace that's made for a post-round drink when the weather behaves. The Claret Jug is the more casual stop for coffee, snacks and a relaxed pint between rounds. For those seeking a night on the darts, be sure to check out the interactive darts in the golf clubhouse.
Who is this for?
Golfers booking a UK break with easy access, two rounds on-site and enough off-course options to keep non-golfers busy.
Who is it best for?
Societies, mixed-ability groups and mid-handicappers who want variety across two courses, plus couples pairing golf with spa time.

The Lakes Course is the more established of Belton Woods' championship tracks, and represents a formidable challenge for even the better golfers that visit. As its name suggests, it is crucial to negotiate the substantial water hazards, many of which are strategically positioned at the front of the putting surfaces, demanding high-quality approach play.
The 9th hole on the Lakes Course is one of the country's longest, at 609 yards - see if you can join the exclusive club to have found the green in two blows.

The Woods Course is Belton Woods' second championship layout, and underlines why it is regarded as one of the best golf resorts in the Midlands. The Woodside is widely regarded to be more playable for the higher handicappers, but there is no shortage of potential obstacles, coming primarily from the many lakes, which are designed to complement the natural undulations of the land itself.
Belton Woods also has a fleet of GPS golf buggies plus a 21-bay floodlit driving range with TrackMan, a flexible golf-ball tracking solution with tour-proven technology and the industry’s best Virtual Golf, Practice and Entertainment software.

The hotel has 136 guest rooms and has had a £2 million refurbishment, so the look and feel is modern and well kept, which is exactly what you want after 18 holes. Classic rooms are a straightforward base for a golf break, with enough space to stash clubs and dry kit overnight. If you're staying a couple of nights, the Ambassador rooms are worth a look for the extra space and golf course views, a nice touch if you're watching the sun set over the fairways with a drink in hand.
If it's a special occasion, the suites add a bit of luxury with marble bathrooms, whirlpool baths and a separate living area, handy if you're making a long weekend of it or mixing golf with spa time. The atmosphere across the hotel is relaxed and golfer-friendly, the kind of place where you can walk through reception with muddy shoes and nobody bats an eyelid.
On the food front, the Belton Woods Bar & Grill is the main dining room and it's a good one for groups. It overlooks the course and the terrace is ideal for a drink and a quick post-round debrief. The Claret Jug is the more relaxed option for coffee, lighter bites and an easy pint, and it's especially useful if you've got staggered tee times and people coming and going through the day.
Away from the restaurant and bar, you've also got plenty to do on site. The leisure centre includes a pool, fitness suite, steam room, sauna and whirlpool, while the Serenity Spa offers a range of treatments for anyone who'd rather swap a back nine for a massage. For something more hands-on, the activity company runs archery, go-karting, quad biking and clay pigeon shooting. Needless to say, it's a venue that works well for mixed groups where not everyone's playing 36 holes a day.
Belton Woods is located just outside the hamlet of Belton, two miles north of Grantham and within easy reach of the A1. East Midlands Airport is around 45 minutes away, Lincoln City is a 40-minute drive, and the resort's position in rural Lincolnshire means you're surrounded by open countryside without being cut off from major routes. It's a straightforward destination to reach from most parts of the UK, whether you're driving up from the south or across from the Midlands.

Sadly it looks like customers booking via travel companies such as YGT are allocated rooms furthest away from the main reception & restaurant facilities meaning very long walk meandering over 100 yards from the main facilities.Rooms are furnished to good standard.Evening meal & breakfast were good quality food & service especially for our friend's gluten free requirements. Sadly though in 2026 there is no provision for decaffeinated coffee facility ( my health requirement ) UNBELIEVABLE

Hotel facilities were top notch; all our meals were of good quality and served on time. Rooms were excellent and offered great value for money. Only complaint was that there weren't enough staff behind the bars at peak times which meant service was delayed (sometimes by up to 15 minutes). Other than that our group would heartily recommend Belton Woods.

Generally a nice comfortable stay with all facilities you’d want. Showers were a bit lack luster but reasonably comfy beds

Beds, Food, facilities all perfect. Enough room for all golf parties before and after rounds. Dining room perfect too. Even printed labels for everyone’s courses a great touch.

Same as woods - see earlier Tee boxes 0/10 Also groups on the Sunday playing Texas scramble We played the 1st 5 holes in just over an hour. Then got backed up by this visiting group - had to wait over 40 minutes to tee off on hole 10 - starters need to be more vigilant and stop this happening.
Craig

The tees were as bad as I’ve ever seen - dreadful - need work and irrigation Fairways not the best either - as above Greens excellent
Paul

This course is a bit chilly for a few holes,would probably recommend a buggy for this course,there are some steep climbs for a few holes, Tee boxes were very dry and uneven in parts,some watering would do them no harm at all,but overall a lovely course,
Paul

Excellent course,only a slight downside was the condition of the tee boxes,they were very dry,uneven in parts,some watering would do them the world of good,but apart from that,the course was excellent,

Some challenging holes were very enjoyable BUT the overall condition was bordering on very poor. TEE CONDITION IS NOTHING SHORT OF APPAULING both mens Orange & Ladies green. MANY mens tees totally devoid of ANY grass, uneven & sloping badly NEED TO BE TOTALLY DUG UP,RELAID & LEVELLED. Fairways bare, in places pitted damaged by animals probably deer and rabbit. Likewise bunkers in atrocious condition with the same animal imprint and of course with so many casual visitors left in appalling condition unraked with massive footprints e erywhere rendering them impossible to play proper shots. No waste bins or ball cleaners. Overall in very disappointing condition as tees appear to be devoid of any sprinkler watering. If that was my club I would be looking elsewhere & refusing to pay subscription fees. No on course signage to direct player between green & next tee. Only positive point was condition of greens, in good condition & consistent speeds.
