Welcome to Belton Woods Golf Club
Established in 1991 and based at the outstanding 475 acre resort complex of DeVere Belton Woods near Grantham, Lincolnshire, our Golf Club is made up of four traditional sections; Men, Ladies, Juniors and Seniors.
With two Championship golf courses, Lakes par 72 and Woodside par 73, and complemented by a well designed nine-hole par 3 course, Belton Woods resort offers a challenge for golfers of all abilities and all ages. With its excellent 4 star 96 room hotel facility and many woodland lodges, Belton Woods has matured into one of the premier “must play” golf resorts in  Lincolnshire.
The Championship Lakes Course at 6831 yards and multiple water hazards will offer a great test to all golfers. Long drives, accurate irons and solid putting will bring the very best out of this course.
The Championship Woodside Course now at at 6623 yards is now enhanced by four years of major bunker complex redesigns and improvements, more recently many tee boxes have been rebuilt, and new competition tees added giving the Woodside course a truly unique feel and at times visually stunning challenge.
We hope our members will find everything needed to keep up to date with our club, including links to each section, Ladies, Juniors and Seniors, news, results, course and resort information, plus much more.
Belton Woods is a very friendly club and welcomes visitors to come and enjoy all the facilities the complex has to offer. You will find the golfing staff friendly and happy to do everything they can to make your visit an enjoyable one. We hope our visitors will continue to browse through our pages. Enjoy your virtual visit, then come to play and hopefully join our club, you will not be disappointed.

My Captains charity for 2012will be the Air Ambulance. I know that we have had that charity in previous years and although I have never used it and hopefully will never have the need to, I feel that this is a very worthwhile local charity that helps a wide range of people.
As Captain I have to be honest and say I intend to take full advantage and play as much golf as humanly possible! This means I will be around the club, even more than I am now….!

Have a great year and enjoy your golf.
Lady Captain Sue Waldren
It has been an honour this year to be appointed as Lady Captain at Belton Woods Golf Club for 2011, which will be the 20th Anniversary of the Club. I therefore would like to take this opportunity to thank our Lady Captain for 2010 Pat Haynes for a great year.
As we enter 2011 and another year of busy golfing fixtures, the ladies with their weekly competitions, the league – now with 2 teams in the South Lincolnshire Divisions, the men with all their fixtures, league and club comps and not forgetting the Juniors and Seniors.
I hope that you will all enjoy and take part in our mixed competitions and as you browse through the diary pages you may see a couple of new ones too.
I look forward to sharing many golfing days and moments with you all and may your year be filled with tiny miracles…… the ones that keep us coming back for more, the birdies, the eagles and for the very fortunate ones, the Holes in One.
During my year as Lady Captain I have decided to support the Tickled Pink Campaign which supports Breast Cancer awareness.
Breast Cancer Campaign’s mission is to beat breast cancer by funding innovative world–class research into understanding how breast cancer develops, leading to improved diagnosis, treatment, prevention and cure across the UK.
Breast Cancer awareness is very close to everyone’s hearts, every 11 minutes someone in the UK is told that they have breast cancer. That’s over 100 people a day, over 100 families and over 100 loved ones who hear the news that someone close to them has breast cancer.
This really brings it home on a personal level as my husbands’ mother passed away a number of years ago from breast cancer therefore it is a charity that we support. When diagnosis is made in the early stages, then with the support of research and intervention, many go on to live normal healthy lives.
Throughout the year, there will be competitions within the Club for the members to help raise funds for Tickled pink and I sincerely hope that you will be able to support the Tickled Pink Campaign and me.
I am also holding a new event in July of 2011,an event that I am hoping will attract many ladies. This Ladies Charity AM/AM is open to members and non members alike, of which all the details can be found on the Beltonwoodsladies.co.uk website, or by contacting me via the email link for Lady Captain.

“I am very pleased and honoured to be selected as Junior Captain for 2012. I am looking forward to spending as much time as possible on the course and representing the club in junior matches.”
Ryan Smith
We have a strong Junior Section, which is split into two groups, Eagles and Juniors. Our Eagles are the younger 5 to 12 year olds or those who are still learning the basics of golf. Our Juniors are the older, more experienced and more serious young players.
Our club nights run every Thursday evening from April through to the end of September, meeting at 5.00 pm on the putting green. From there the Eagles will normally go out to play on the course and new for this year are monthly friendly competitions. Our older Juniors take club nights as the opportunity for additional practice time, as well as helping the younger ones with their skills.
Golf for us is about enjoying what we do and trying to have fun, but keeping the traditions of good manners, good dress standards, good etiquette and care for the course.
2012 Senior Captain Ian Nisbet
I am delighted to inherit from last years Captain, Tony Donnelly, our largest Seniors group of over 70 members
We play a mixture of social and competitive golf and 20 matches home and away against other seniors clubs in the area
We are delighted to welcome members of the Mens Club and De Vere Club in 19 Bar, where we meet on Monday, Wednesday and Friday around 8.00 am, for a chat about us and to join us for a game.
My chosen charity for 2012 is Help for Heroes.
