About this course
Lincoln Golf Club occupies a distinctive setting on the banks of the River Trent near Torksey in Lincolnshire. Established in 1891, the club has operated from its current location since moving to this site, where the course unfolds across relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Trent valley. The layout takes advantage of the river landscape, with several holes playing alongside or near the water, and the open Lincolnshire countryside provides exposure to prevailing winds that can significantly influence play. The course routing incorporates natural features of the riverside environment, including mature trees that frame certain holes and define strategic corridors. The flatness of the terrain means elevation change is minimal, placing emphasis on accurate approach play and course management rather than dramatic topographical variation. Several holes offer views across the Trent, and the proximity to the water creates both scenic interest and strategic considerations on certain holes where the river comes into play. Lincoln Golf Club functions as a traditional members' club serving the local golfing community in Lincolnshire. The course provides a straightforward test of golf suited to regular club play, with a layout that rewards local knowledge of how wind and seasonal conditions affect shot-making on this exposed terrain. The clubhouse overlooks the course and river, maintaining the atmosphere of an established provincial club with roots in the late Victorian era of English golf development.

Getting there
Lincoln Golf Club lies in the quiet riverside village of Torksey, reached most naturally via East Midlands Airport near Nottingham, roughly an hour's drive northwest through the gently rolling Lincolnshire countryside. Those arriving from London may opt for Doncaster Sheffield Airport or even continue north from the capital by road, a journey of just over two hours that traces the old Great North Road before turning east toward the Trent Valley. The final approach follows narrow lanes that hug the riverbank, passing through farmland and medieval traces of the Fossdyke Canal, before arriving at a clubhouse that sits with understated grace above one of England's most serene and secluded inland settings.
