GRANGE PARK - COURSE GUIDE
Start and finish - the view of the clubhouse across the 18th.
GRANGE Park golf course at Messingham now has luxury accommodation to tempt the golfer to stay and enjoy its facilities for longer. The newly-constructed pine lodges which sleep up to six people are now attracting golfers from outside the county.
The lodges are being booked by golf societies and groups of friends who come to enjoy some of the best golf facilities in Lincolnshire.
Director Ian Cannon said: "We have been delighted with the interest in the lodges and are keen to expand this area of our business."
Grange Park is also committed to its local customers and has recently had reduced membership fees for junior players.
New adult members can also take advantage of a new joining year which started on April 1.
The golf course itself continues to mature.
Many players already know that water is a major design feature of the course and that accuracy rather than out-and-out length will pay dividends when you come to total up your scorecard.
Anyone wishing to improve their accuracy and short game is pointed in the direction of the club's par-three course.
This is a useful additional benefit of membership at the club as full members are entitled to play this course free of charge.
