4-star: Above average course - well worth a visit.

Seacroft Golf Club: this classic coastal links golf course offers the intriguing opportunity to take a trip south from Skegness, turn at the par-3 10th in Gibraltar, and then return north to "Skegvegas" (as the town is sometimes called). The Gibraltar in question is Gibraltar Point and the National Nature Reserve of that name, which forms the course's southern boundary.

After the first four holes at Seacroft, the row of neat houses on your right comes to an end and this wonderfully straightforward and natural links course carries on its way, in classic out-and-back tradition. Here you'll find excellent bunkering, occasional sea-views and large well-kept greens. Also noteworthy is the central spine of grassy sand dunes separating the front and back nines.

You will require your A-game to stay on the short grass and away from the punishing rough. The fairways here are never overly wide; "underly narrow" might be a better description. The long flagsticks testify to the often windy conditions here, but then you are next to Skegness, and yes, it can be "so bracing".
