Southview Leisure Park

Eighteen holes of proper seaside golf await just outside Skegness, where the Lincolnshire winds will test your short game more than any bunker ever could. The course itself is nothing fancy - think links-style layout with plenty of open fairways and the odd water hazard to keep things interesting.

Families staying at nearby parks like Butlins or Haven will find this a decent way to escape the crowds for a few hours. The course suits mid-handicap golfers best, though beginners won't feel completely out of their depth. Expect to spend around three to four hours for a full round, depending on how busy it gets during peak summer months.

What makes it worthwhile is the location rather than championship-level design. You're close enough to hear the North Sea, and on clear days there are lovely views across the Lincolnshire coast. The clubhouse is functional rather than flash, but does a decent breakfast if you're teeing off early.

Being part of the Southview complex means it's handy if you're already staying on-site, though it's worth checking whether green fees are included in your holiday package. For serious golfers, it's probably not worth a special trip, but as part of a family break to Skegness, it fills a pleasant morning or afternoon between beach visits and arcade sessions.
