The course is one of the most attractive and interesting golf layouts in Lincolnshire and the East Midlands with its challenging contours. Four river holes over the Cringle Brook add to the challenge, and offers tremendous variety of flora and fauna. It is renowned for its winter playability and rarely uses temporary greens. A senior agronomist to the R & A, and for 10 years an adviser to the Club, rated it amongst the top 10 on his books. This is proven by the high esteem in which it is held by the County and the number of societies and individuals seeking tee reservations. It also hosts the Kymin, Howell Hare Open and Midland Youths Championship, which is one of the 7 EGU qualifying competitions for the English Junior Team, and has acted as host for the English Schools competitions and many county events.
