North Shore at The North Shore Hotel & Golf Club

The North Shore Golf Club sits on the Lincolnshire coast at Skegness, a traditional English seaside resort town on the North Sea. Designed by James Braid and opened in the 1920s, the course represents one of the prolific Scottish architect's many layouts across Britain during his post-playing career. Braid, a five-time Open Championship winner, designed or redesigned over 200 courses and brought particular expertise to links and seaside terrain, though his work ranged from pure linksland to parkland and heathland sites.

The course occupies relatively flat coastal ground characteristic of the Lincolnshire shoreline, where the landscape transitions between the town and agricultural land stretching inland. While not a traditional links in the mold of Scotland's duneland courses, the layout contends with coastal winds that influence play throughout the year. The routing makes use of the available terrain, and the design reflects Braid's straightforward, strategic approach to golf architecture—emphasizing playability while rewarding accurate shot-making.

The North Shore functions as part of a hotel and golf club operation, serving both resort visitors to Skegness and local membership. The course provides accessible seaside golf in a region where such opportunities are less common than along Scotland's coasts or northwest England. Its position within the town's leisure infrastructure makes it a fixture of Skegness's sporting landscape, offering a Braid design to golfers exploring the Lincolnshire coast.
