The Lakes course at Belton Woods is one of two championship layouts at this resort property situated near Grantham in Lincolnshire. Designed by Cameron Sinclair and opened in the early 1990s, the course takes its name from the significant water features that define much of the routing. The layout occupies gently rolling parkland terrain characteristic of this part of the East Midlands, with mature woodland framing several holes and providing definition to the playing corridors. Water comes into play on approximately half the holes, requiring strategic decision-making from the tee and on approach shots. The course measures over 6,700 yards from the championship tees and presents a test suited to players of varying abilities through multiple tee options. The design incorporates both risk-reward opportunities and more straightforward holes, with bunkering positioned to challenge tee shots and guard greens. The parkland setting provides a relatively sheltered environment compared to more exposed links courses in the region. As part of a hotel and leisure resort, Belton Woods caters to a mix of members and visiting golfers, including corporate groups and leisure travelers. The facility includes extensive practice areas and a second eighteen-hole course, the Woodside, offering variety for guests staying at the property. The Lakes course has hosted regional amateur competitions and serves as a venue for society play and corporate events throughout the year.
