Accommodation Comparison

Practical Accommodation Information

Park Facilities at Addlethorpe Country Park

Golf is the main purpose-of-visit facility at Addlethorpe and sets the park apart from most lodge parks around Skegness. The course, driving range, Pro Shop and clubhouse create a genuine golf break rather than simply adding a small practice area beside the accommodation.

9 Hole Golf Course

Addlethorpe has a substantial 9 hole golf course set across approximately 100 acres of Lincolnshire countryside.

The nine holes cover around 3,433 yards in total, making it a long course for a 9 hole layout. A mixture of par 3, par 4 and par 5 holes means golfers use a broad range of clubs rather than treating the course as a short pitch and putt.

Tree lined fairways, faster greens and strategically placed hazards add challenge for more experienced players, while the relaxed atmosphere keeps the course approachable for occasional golfers and beginners.

Club membership is not required, with visitor tee times available.

Holiday guests staying with Coastfields also receive discounted green fees, making it easy to build several rounds into a week long stay.

16 Bay Driving Range

The sheltered 16 bay driving range is another substantial facility.

Each bay gives golfers space to practise at their own pace and the covered design means the range remains useful in less favourable weather.

An automated ball dispenser provides practice balls, with tokens available from the Pro Shop and clubhouse.

There is no need to reserve a standard driving range bay in advance, making it easy to fit a quick practice session around other plans.

Golf Tuition and Practice

A wider tuition bay provides additional space for professional coaching and practice.

Golf professionals can use the facilities for lessons, while beginners can use the range to gain confidence before playing the full course.

This gives Addlethorpe appeal beyond experienced club golfers and makes the park suitable for couples or families where someone wants to try the sport during the holiday.

Pro Shop and Equipment Hire

The Pro Shop stocks golf equipment, clothing and everyday golfing essentials.

Visitors do not need to bring a complete set of equipment because clubs can be hired, while trolleys and golf buggies are also available.

This is particularly useful for holidaymakers who want to play a round but do not want to transport their full golf equipment to Lincolnshire.

Clubhouse Bar, Café and Restaurant

The clubhouse provides the main food and drink venue on the park.

Breakfast, lunch and hot meals are available alongside lighter snacks, tea, Costa Coffee, wines and beers.

An outdoor sun terrace overlooks the golf course and gives both golfers and non golfers somewhere to relax with food or drinks while watching play on the fairways.

The clubhouse is family friendly and dog friendly, making it useful even for guests with no interest in playing golf.

Hot Tub Lodge Breaks

Private hot tubs are included across much of the current lodge accommodation.

The hot tubs sit beside large furnished decking areas, giving guests private outdoor space for relaxing after a round of golf or a day on the Lincolnshire coast.

Combined with the peaceful countryside surroundings, they make Addlethorpe particularly suitable for couples and families looking for a quieter hot tub break near Skegness.

Walking and Cycling

The surrounding countryside provides opportunities for walking and cycling around Addlethorpe and the quieter lanes inland from the coast.

Guests can then reach Ingoldmells, Chapel St Leonards and Skegness by car for longer coastal walks and beach days.
