About Cleethorpes Golf Club:
Cleethorpes Golf Club is a busy members club and very proud of our heritage. The greens are always in great condition and the course is easy walking and a challenge for all, especially when the breeze is up!
With changeable playing characteristics according to wind direction and strength, coupled with feeling 'links like' when dry to parkland when wetter underfoot, you can be assured that no two rounds play the same!
With super greens for pure putting, and no wind, a good score is there. However, with lots of rolls and bumps to mean lies where the ball is above or below the feet and lots of potential pitfalls, many a visitor has been surprised by just how hard it is to attain that good score. We are a busy members club and very proud of our heritage.
