The Hotchkin Course 

One of Britain's finest courses, The Hotchkin is built on sandy soil which allows for year round play.  Set amongst banks of gorse and broom, backed up with layered canopies of oak, fir and towering silver birch and encapsulated all upon a glorious carpet of heather, the natural beauty of this Lincolnshire oasis serves only to emphasise the majesty of this famous course.

Renowned for its formidable bunkers and narrow fairways, most visitors will remember the panoramic views of the 11th and the charm of the short 12th hole.  It has often been stated by the golfing press and top players alike that there are 18 great holes on the Hotchkin.

The Bracken Course

Created from commercial woodland, scrub and arable farmland, Donald Steel's vision for The Bracken Course has materialised into a course of exceptional finesse and imaginative design.

Although it is situated alongside The Hotchkin, the design and terrain are quite different.  Many of the holes are in a parkland setting and the remainder make good use of Bracken Wood at the far end of the estate.  The fairway and greenside bunkers, together with the large undulating greens, provide a resemblance to an American style course.

Much emphasis has been placed on ecology with many species of wild flowers encouraged to grow whilst, at the same time, securing the habitat of local wildlife.  This subject is high on the list of priorities of the English Golf Union who, amongst its many roles, provide an advisory service on how to build golf courses in harmony with nature.

The National Golf Centre has one of the finest coaching facilities in Europe and encourages juniors and adults of all standards to visit and improve their skills.

The floodlit 18 bay driving range looks out onto an area designed to replicate the problems golfers face when on course.  Trees and woodland areas have been retained and greens located to assist the development and practice of a golfers shot making skills.

The most visionary aspect of the training Academy is the 4 acre area devoted to the development of short game skills.  In addition to the large putting green, there are 8 target greens to aim at offering shots of all lengths up to 100 yards.  There are a range of individually styled bunkers with varying grades of sands.

The EGU national squads, county squads and many other groups regularly take advantage of The National Golf Centre's unrivalled facilities.  Over the years the EGU's investment in extensive coaching for up and coming golfers has produced many of the top players on the European Tour today such as Justin Rose, Luke Donald and Nick Dougherty.
