1 Night, 1 Round
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.
* Where applicable, the relevant promotions will be applied during the booking process. T&Cs may apply.

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.

A well run Hotel and Spa with a wide range of food options for Breakfast Lunch and Dinner. Drink prices are a little on the expensive side.

The hotel is set up for golf, the staff are great, but the pre-order for food was not passed onto the kitchen by the area sales dept, so this caused an issue when all I want ed to do was enjoy my trip and golf. The drinks costs are high. We were asked to do a pre-order with our names on teh top. While waiting for our food, teh staff came out shouting the dish, please forget what has been ordered and one person got it wrong, started to eat and then there food was short for another member. due to poor prep, I was asked to pay for another started. not great. I oredered 3 platters of Cheese and biscuits at £65. I was then asked for £130 and had to negociate a reduction to two platers or pay more. Not again what i wanted. My personal complaint was the shower and bath. The bath is too low and you could not have a good bath and teh shower. You could not have a good shower as the arm would not rise up enough to shower properly. i needed to go to the leisure deptartment to get a good shower.

Golf was great fun, resort was great. Just a few issues. First, those who had the pie all got ill. Second, the service was very very slow at dinner. Third, the tee boxes were in dreadful condition. Everything else was great

I thought overall it was good. I didn’t get chance to use as many facilities as I would’ve liked, however the bars had a good atmosphere, staff were friendly and the evening food was delicious and well portioned.

Due to 8 min tee separation, a very busy course and level of difficulty, play was very slow. Some tee boxes were devoid of grass and bare patches around the greens. Harder than Woods Course with many water hazards out of sight until upon them.

Coursing poor condition with bare patches everywhere, especially around the greens. Tee boxes were often totally devoid of grass! Weather this year has been a factor but not to this degree

Greens were even and true but very slow, probably as expected in September.

The course was generally in good condition for the time of year although some of the Tee boxes were devoid of grass. The par three 4th was like playing off a beach.

Ditto from the Lakes Too many players. very slow play. Overall, not value for money with a few issues with the food.

Mt comments is the tee boxes are covered in Sand, very little grass. Another than that too many golfers are on the course. Waitied on the tee box for more than 10 minutes each time. At the start the marshall stated that that we needed to keep up with play and over 60 thousand golfers played these courses last year. well that tells you about the tee boxes. Although saying this, the greens were really good.
