Since opening in 1996, Forest Pines has earned a reputation as one of Lincolnshire's go-to golf resorts and it regularly pops up in UK and Ireland top-100 course lists. Set in peaceful woodland near Brigg, it feels nicely tucked away, but you're only a couple of minutes from Junction 4 of the M180 and around 30 minutes from Lincoln, so it's an easy win for a quick UK golf break.
The course was designed by former PGA Tour player John Morgan and it's built around three nine-hole loops, Forest, Pines and Beeches. That setup is ideal for a weekend away, especially if you like a bit of variety without driving anywhere between rounds.
Off the course, you've got 188 en-suite rooms, proper on-site dining and a leisure club that keeps non-golfers happy too, which is exactly what you want for mixed groups. If you're planning a society trip, Forest Pines is the sort of place that makes logistics simple. 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 seeking a quality UK break that combines a top-100 course with strong hotel facilities, plus groups and couples who want leisure and spa options alongside the golf.
Who is it best for?
Societies and mixed-ability groups looking for variety in their golf, and anyone wanting a complete resort experience where non-golfers are well catered for with spa, dining and leisure facilities.

Play Forest Pines on your next UK Golf Break and we'll help you line up tee times, rooms and dining that actually fit your group.
The hotel has 188 spacious en-suite rooms, which is a genuine perk when you've got a travel bag and a set of clubs to stash somewhere sensible. Décor is more classic hotel than boutique, but it's comfortable, practical and set up well for golf groups. Expect good-sized beds, decent storage and the usual essentials including WiFi and TV.
Room categories include standard twins and doubles, executive rooms with additional space and upgraded amenities, and suites for those wanting a more premium stay. All rooms are en-suite, and many overlook the golf course or surrounding woodland, particularly those on higher floors. If you can, ask for a room overlooking the course or woodland for the most peaceful feel.
The hotel's public areas are equally comfortable, with generous lounge spaces, a welcoming bar and plenty of seating for groups to gather before or after rounds. For golfers, the real appeal lies in the convenience. You can walk from your room to the first tee in minutes, the practice facilities are on-site and club storage is available.
The Reflections Health, Fitness and Spa centre is a significant draw, particularly for those who want to unwind post-round. The 18-metre heated pool, sauna, aroma steam room, ice shower and heated loungers are all included for hotel guests, while the spa offers a full menu of beauty treatments, facials and massages. The gymnasium is modern and well equipped, and the leisure club as a whole makes Forest Pines a strong choice for groups that include non-golfers or partners who want more than just the golf.
The newly refurbished Beech Tree Restaurant is the fine-dining choice, offering a seasonal menu in a smart, contemporary setting. It's the natural option for evening meals, particularly for groups celebrating a special occasion or simply wanting a more formal dinner. The Brasserie and Bar, by contrast, is relaxed and informal, serving lighter meals, snacks and drinks throughout the day. In summer, the outdoor seating area is a popular spot for a post-round pint or casual lunch. Both venues source ingredients locally where possible, and the kitchen is well versed in catering for larger golf groups, with set menus and flexible dining times available on request.
Forest Pines is just a quarter of a mile from Junction 4 of the M180, making it one of the most accessible golf resorts in the region. Leeds, Sheffield and York are all within an hour by car, and the location works well for groups travelling from across Yorkshire, the East Midlands and beyond.

Strange they don’t have enough staff and at dinner they ask you to go to bar yourself for drinks as they don’t have time to do this for you. Meal was stone cold but very tasty. Few sent back mains and did come back warmed up.. breakfast was steady as you would expect on mass.

Despite the atrocious weather conditions experienced before we arrived the course was open and playable (Pines 9 hole) was closed so we played the same 18 twice
Alison

Three fantastic 9 hole courses, all with consistent greens making it very easy to transition. Our favourite course is Forest as it has some lovely holes in and around the trees. The Beeches is the easiest course and we would say that the Pines course is marginally harder/longer than Forest. But can't fault any of the courses.

Very picturesque course in a lovely woodland setting. Well placed hazards. Ground staff doing a great job of keeping the autumn leaves to a minimum.
Bryan

All three courses were in excellent condition. The course on Thursday was not too busy and as a two ball we were round in very good time. The courses were much busier on the Friday and the starter was able to switch our playing order so that we only had limited hold ups due to playing amongst a number of three and four balls. The autumnal colours and great weather made for an all round excellent break. We will be back.
