Blankney Golf Club

Blankney Golf Club sits in the Lincolnshire countryside near the village of Blankney, roughly fifteen miles southeast of Lincoln. The course was designed by Cameron Sinclair, a Scottish architect who worked primarily in the early twentieth century and is known for several layouts across England and Scotland. The club occupies gently rolling agricultural land typical of this part of Lincolnshire, where the terrain offers modest elevation changes and open views across the surrounding farmland. The routing takes advantage of the natural contours, with holes that move through a mix of parkland and more exposed sections. Mature trees line several fairways, providing definition and strategic interest, while the relatively open character of the landscape allows wind to influence play. The greens and bunkering reflect the design principles of Sinclair's era, emphasizing thoughtful placement over excessive length. Blankney serves as a traditional members' club with a local membership base drawn from the surrounding Lincolnshire communities. The clubhouse maintains the atmosphere of a rural English golf club, where the focus remains on the game and the social traditions that accompany it. The course offers a straightforward test of golf without the elaborate features or tournament history of more prominent venues, making it representative of the many well-maintained inland courses that form the backbone of club golf in England.
